Polaris - THE GUILT & THE GRIEF [Full EP Stream]

[@dgeneratefpv963]

2023, you still here?

[@Chase_.Claxton.]

Yup

[@Иоанна-б9ы]

2024

[@Oh_its_Mike]

My favorite part about this is that I used to watch Ryan's guitar covers years ago when he was younger and now he's all professional and shit. That's insane talent to me.

[@T3amAm3rica1]

Okay, now that I have some time, I feel like I need to offer my full thoughts on this EP. I don't say this lightly: This is one of the best EPs I've ever heard in my life. I spend a lot of time finding and collecting top quality music, and this release has shot up into my top 5 favorites of all time. I literally cannot stop listening to it throughout my day. I'm finding it difficult to put into words the immensity of this. I'm a fan of a lot of different modern metal subgenres, my favorites being progressive/melodic metalcore, progressive deathcore, melodic hardcore, post-hardcore, etc. I feel like this EP seamlessy combines the best qualities of all these genres into a multi-faceted behemoth of a sound. From start to finish, there's never a dull moment. I know it may sound cheesy, but I honestly find myself getting choked up over how absolutely BEAUTIFUL some of the arrangements are. The flowing guitar melodies and powerful cleans, the emotional screams and complex, energetic rhythms....everything fits together perfectly and forms the most tastefully written EP I've heard in YEARS. I could write a novel about how amazing this EP is, but I feel like I can never put into words exactly how powerful an effect it has on me. People, buy this fucking EP. $5 AUD is and absolute STEAL for this precious gem. If you can afford to purchase it for more, and you're even a fraction as passionate about this kind of music as I am, please do it. Support the artist. This band absolutely needs to make it. We can't afford to lose them due to a lack of financial support for their art. This is a complete game changer. To Polaris: I've never met you, but I appreciate you more than you'll ever know. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this. Thank you for putting your ALL into this, for baring the deepest parts of your souls for the world to hear. I know I probably sound cliche but I really can't help it, this EP has had a profound effect on me that I can't really put into words. I know you'll make it big, and I can't wait until you come on a U.S. tour. P.S. -- Check out their previous EP "Dichotomy" and buy that shit too. It does NOT disappoint.

[@liminalvoidster]

Couldnt have said it better 🤘🏼

[@stupidvegokid]

I hope this dude purchased The Mortal Coil. Easily the album I have played on repeat the most over the last few years.

[@ValiumMm8]

I'd only place House vs Hurricane EP in this same category

[@ReptarAGT]

Preach it my dude!

[@Centerpieceofmind]

You feel like you need to offer your full thoughts...lol. yes, we were all anxiously awaiting your substantial and informative dissertation. Said no one.

[@sp00g37]

really cool EP, Australia definitely knows what they do best. And is that Grant McFarland that was in this or the apocalypse?

[@MarkLePage]

Yes, it's that Grant.

[@PolarisAus]

+kyle spejewski The very same!

[@walterirwin7250]

+Mark LePage Grant McFarland is talent.

honestly, whoever runs the channel needs to pin this comment

[@johnyang799]

already copied into the description i guess

[@MrScreamCream]

this is something i can easily get emotionally attached to.

[@malevolence7297]

bruh im new to polaris and i can't express the hapiness im having by listening to this.... no rest is taking me elsewhere

[@br00talhonesty]

Ure in for a bad ass ride

[@GussyOSRS]

Smashing polaris all week, rest in peace you wonderful man ❤

[@evolagenda]

The vocals remind me of Architects and I like very very much!!!!

[@petroglyphs2575]

Setting the bar for best ep of 2016, Sorta discouraged to release our ep now ha. I've listened to this album about 100 times already. No joke. And it's not even the 29th in California yet haha

[@MarkLePage]

You guys should have dropped yours first then. Haha

[@petroglyphs2575]

+Mark LePage unfortunately that was out of our hands, and still is atm

[@T3amAm3rica1]

+Petroglyphs if your new EP is as dope as "Hypocrite," you can bet it'll be super well-received. I'm really looking forward to it.

[@Westgateil]

+Petroglyphs Just drop right now

[@MarkLePage]

+Westgate You guys too though.

[@AmericaWest90]

With OMAM, AA, BMTH, WCAR, ISS and CTE going down the drain, I don't take what I'm about to say, but I think this may be my new favorite band and it may also be the best release I've heard in the last few years. Perfection. These guys are going far.

[@TAURELLIAN]

its the new generation :D

[@corvus418]

The Devil Wears Prada are actually coming back strong surprisingly. Their two new singles are absolutely amazing. But yeah, "popular" bands are going downhill.

[@uboraan]

AmericaWest90 HOLY S HIT YOU'RE SO RIGHT, idk I wouldn't say Scott amity, crown the empire, we came as Romans are bad now I just don't listen to their new shit anymore

[@wessteyrn7746]

[@wessteyrn7746]

[@incuban]

No Rest is my top song of 2016. Just brilliant.

[@shetzlinejr]

Its easily a top 5 song for me now by them

[@MexicanSpinach]

4:12 "So dramatic when you say 'vaginas'"

[@lancetitus5224]

HAHAHA, golden

[@shetzlinejr]

One of the sickest eps that ever came out. Polaris follows the pedigree of aussie metalcore. Proud to say I saw them on their first tour in America with Parkway. I listened to them a little before I saw them and they caught my attention live. When I saw them the second time and they played crooked path I almost cried. Polaris you gotta fan in me forever dudes seriously

[@Stevedrummer616]

One of the best E.P's i've had the pleasure of listening to. Absolutely amazing work guys. Keep up the great work and look forward to the day you guys are able to tour in the UK.

[@mfadel1012]

5:55

[@codyt6250]

I feel bad for anything who hit thumbs down on this

[@hansolzy]

Love this shit. For the last song, I can hear Marcus Bridge scream a couple lines after the first chorus, but the cleans don't sound like him. So does he only scream 2 lines in the 2nd verse and that's it? Was expecting some clean vocals.

[@aaronlalic5362]

The cleans after the first chorus are him (just before you heard him scream)

[@hansolzy]

+Mike Litoris Oh yeah! I think you're right! It sounded so similar to the actual clean vocalist of Polaris so it was hard to point out. Thanks.

[@benpark4035]

+Hansol always enjoy stumbling across your comments on metalcore videos throughout KZbin, especially Australia's quality talent. Hope the channel reboot goes well mate, enjoying the content so far, big fan!

[@hansolzy]

Thanks so much dude. :) It's a great journey and I have lots planned. Keep it metal.

[@dankmeme5196]

+Hansol wooooo so rad that you like Polaris

[@thomasbennett6322]

Polaris speaks the fucking truth for some people about what happens to them in their life and dealing with fucking bullshit

[@SindirillaOfficial]

holy fuck 1:55 and forth

[@Dwesk]

The whole EP is nicely diverse and just overall pure quality. Fresh af. BTW - is the EP getting upped on Spotify today/tomorrow?

[@ryansiew1]

+Dwėsk It's up on spotify now :)

[@Dwesk]

***** thanks for the heads up, fam :)

[@wessteyrn7746]

It's so rare these days finding bands with EPs that make you realize the beauty of this genre you know. They truly are extremely talented.

[@bookydave8797]

[@blakestevenson2535]

Honestly one of the best metal vocalists I've ever heard, same for the guitarists / bassist and drummer. This entire band is a heap of pure fucking talent.

Best metal EP ever heard hands down...and I thought zombie EP could never be topped...

[@ion1984]

160k views? ugh. this is the best album I've heard in a decade.

[@Faze9784]

This was just a few tracks away from being a damn good LP

[@mr.dr.prof.patrick3743]

I listened to the whole album waiting for the song 'Hey Sandy' and didn't hear it. A good band but I am very disappointed with that fact.

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

I fucking loved this EP. "No Rest" in particular somewhat reminds me of 'My Dear Annie' by Make Them Suffer for some reason. Im not sure if there was some inspiration taken from that song as the way the lyrics are written its like the same scenario but viewed from a different perspective sort of thing... Im not sure how to put it. I cannot wait for the next release from you guys :)

[@McYates24]

this is so dope holy shit

[@bawolff15]

HOLY SHIT! This EP is straight magical. Im getting a mixture of vibes from all my favorite bands. Well fucking done Polaris. You have yourself a new fan

So cool meeting you guys, so real and down to earth. Awesome music as well! Maybe a collab in the future when me and the boys get some stuff down haha

The past year and a half I've been slowly moving away from metalcore, but this is really refreshing.

Stellar work on the album. The production is on POINT. Would love to see a play-through of 'L'appel Du Vide' and 'Hold You Under'!

[@MrKadage]

with everyone saying these guys sound like architects and shit like that, just wanted my input in, they sound like underoath to me. just an opinion :)

[@dynatwenty]

I cant hear no Architects in this, Yeah so every Rocksong sounds like AcDc ..... This is a brilliant Ep.

[@renee1092]

Loving 'Unfamiliar'!!! Perfect music for shitty study xD You guys rocked Enigma on Friday night - keep it up!! Xx

[@Kirk1057]

Fuck, its amazing! Unfamiliar and Hold You Under are my favourite

[@2SensesDnB]

[@wessteyrn7746]

One of the best releases of 2016. Eargasmic from the beginning to the end. It's rare that I listen to Eps without even skipping a single track.
