The band released their début EP ‘Polarissima’ to critical acclaim in March of 2012. The record features drummer Alex Rüdinger (The Faceless, Conquering Dystopia, Threat Signal) with critics citing it as “Some of the best metal to come out of the north east since Venom” and “An impressive demonstration of how metal has to sound in the future”. Session drums were handled by Stephen Cross through till May 2012 when Mortimer Chang drummer Patrick Deans was named a full time member of the band. In summer 2013 Midnight Realm announced they were taking a hiatus to focus on personal lives and other projects, however by July 2014 the group had revealed that they had once again been writing, with former keyboard player and founding member Alan Bestwicke returning to the group as their 7th member.
