[@masonpowers7480]

If you've listened to their debut album, then you'd know this band is fond of doing things to break the simple verse chorus verse chorus breakdown chorus structure of metalcore. They've done this exact structure before where they throw in a random clean sung chorus sounding bit after having a refrain of screams that is clearly meant to be the hook. It's one of the things they do best and at first it's jarring but it absolutely grows on you.

[@twinny_mi]

I'm really starting to get into Polaris!!! I think if you like them, you should check out Alpha Wolf! My favorite song by them is Sub Zero, Russian Roulette, Golden Fate; Winter Break, or Black Mamba😁 Is it Pol-air-is or Pol-ahr-is?

[@FullMetalcoreJojo]

Put it perfectly!

[@masonpowers7480]

@@twinny_mi trust me I've already been listening to Alpha Wolf they're great 😂😂 and its Pole-AIR-iss for North Americans and Pol-Ah-riss for Europe and Australia

[@a_hope_in_hell]

I’d say it’s “pol- ahr-is” you don’t say pol-air bear, do you? 😁

[@masonpowers7480]

@@a_hope_in_hell by that polar bear logic than the name is pronounced poe-la-RISS with emphasis on the added syllable.

I think they had the reintro as a part of their hype building process. If they exploded at the beginning it may have messed with the flow of the breakdowns at the end. As to that 2nd chorus, idk wtf that was about 🤣 it dug it. Dudes voices was sick. Very talented band.

[@Raennie]

This band has so much energy man! Excellent song!

[@9leopas]

Can you please react to Dealer - Tourniquet

[@adamulc]

I don't know man, I really like when a band tries to move away a bit from that typical intro-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus formula, I think that the 2nd chorus or whatever was a nice change of pace and without it, the song wouldn't float as nicely if it was just a heavy smashsmashing all the way thourgh. But that's just my opinion. Other than that, I have seen them 2 times live, both as a support act and the crowd was shredded to pieces before the main band came on stage, so yeah, definetly go see them if you get the chance. :D

[@SpookyStorkRunningWild]

as a support act? which band do you play in?

[@hybridsoldier10137]

Don’t stress too much about the arrangement. It’s prog. It’s fresh that a band isn’t sticking to the conventional intro verse chorus verse chorus bridge breakdown chorus Outro style like we predict music to sound like. What these guys have done with this song is extremely unique. It takes away from the comfort zone we all sit in, and leaves you on the edge of your seat waiting to hear the unexpected. 🤘

they're australian, thats how they pronounce it

[@mattp7001]

Exactly.. Nik said it correctly...

[@AscensionUSA]

Dave Mustaine disagrees lol

[@mattp7001]

That has nothing to do with the fact that this band is Australian and the way they say their own name

[@gSWG3R]

Nope. Here in Australia, it's pronounced Pol-ar-is

[@jonashirche8554]

pls react to trilogy from silent planet. its so dawn low and crazy

[@johnnydanner430]

that song was relentless damn

[@LordDolphinOfTheSea]

Sounds like that intro/re-intro is verse 1 and 2 next to each other. Then the slightly altered bit after it with the different feel is like a pre-chorus. Also that clean chorus is like a chorus extension. Flows well I thought!

[@jordanhill9238]

My dude please react to Choke by Bury Tomorrow and possible cover it since its a top song. Btw absolutely love your reactions and covers.

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

New Reflections, Hatebreed, Suicide Silence, Silent Planet, Beneath The Massacre, and Bury Tomorrow also dropped. I can't handle this amount of brutalness at once.

[@akariscarback2867]

That breakdown going into solo (was it solo?) gave chills, literal chills. And the heaviness hit so hard I got taken aback. So all in all this song is r e a l l y cool

You’ve given me a different kind of appreciation for breakdowns, I can’t listen to a breakdown anymore without hearing your voice in the back of my head.

I highly recommend you check out Silent Planet’s new song, Trilogy. You’ll dig their riffs for sure!

[@TunnelPigsCodeRed]

-1.25-1.5 points for not following a structure covered in Niks "Most common Metal song structures" :p

Yo man have you ever listened to Maximum the hormone? I think you might dig them. Lovin your channel and keep up the good work!

[@Jfan4eva2]

Idk if you only react if it has a music video, but you should check out one of Loathe's new tracks. Either Broken Vision Rhythm, Heavy Is The Head That Falls With The Weight Of A Thousand Thoughts, or I Let It In And It Took Everything

You have to react to Necessary Death by END. Nastiest damn breakdown.

[@j3llybr34d7]

when Annisokay bring out new stuff, do you react on it?

[@c4gob00m]

Polaris have released 3 tracks off their new record so far, and although we already know how incredibly talented and amazing the instrumentalists are, I think the biggest thing to come from this is how amazing the vocals are. We know Jamie can scream and Jake can sing, but we've seen Jamie SINGING CLEANS on Masochist and he sounded amazing (we've heard a little bit of singing on songs like Dusk to Day), and on top of that Jake has added harsh vocals to Landmine and Hypermania. I think this album is going to be AOTY for me, I love these guys and they at the moment cannot set a foot wrong.

[@Cayde-8]

I cannot wait for the new album. I hope they tour in the states at some point. I need to seem them live!

[@Beckzyy]

4:41 “oh nah bro… don’t shoot yourself 😕” 😂

[@zacredington4776]

I think my favourite thing about this song is that they don't blow their load on that first breakdown. Almost every single reaction I've seen seems to have an air of "hmmmm...." about the first drop, but it's all for the greater good in my opinion. Makes that ending hit so fucking hard. This song is an experience.

[@DCul]

Nik: Yes. Everyone watching: Yes indeed. All memes aside, I've never heard anything by Polaris before but I've been hearing a lot of good things from them recently. This was definitely a perfect first song to pick. It's a nonstop hellish ride all the way through.

[@iKrebbs]

Gotta react to Silent Planet - trilogy. Pretty amazing 👌🏻

[@SpookyStorkRunningWild]

LMAO look at the way his lip twitches before the breakdown at 3:11

[@alexandercarlinmusic9467]

That clean part was like the clean part in Deadlocked by Wage War for me, where it kinda just came out of nowhere to serve as a bridge, but it wasn't really one.

[@Commandercolt44]

I don’t want to be that guy who corrects people, but I just want to give recognition where it’s due. The clean vocals in the second/alternate chorus was actually the bassist. I’ve noticed that the lead vocalist and the bassist actually play off of each other very well with choosing when each of them takes the lead and which takes backing vocals. Just wanted to through that out there :)

[@austinb1800]

Why don't you wear headphones, I fell like that's the immersion I need for this music haha
