Rest In Piece Ryan... Gone way too soon. Time to binge some of my favorite work of his..

[@prestonFFN]

Immediately came to this play through as well. R.I.P.

[@RomainCloclo]

Immediatly came here too, i can't believe it.. RIP Ryan you're a legend

[@marlonmoresi7167]

100%

[@slickbackjack]

He was the reason i picked up a 7 string. Forever talent gone too soon indeed.

[@f3arthetwiist3d86]

An absolute inspiration to me and will live on through the music he and friends created. Gone way too young rip buddy😭

[@zofficialone6214]

Many of us came here to grieve the passing of Ryan. He was very talented and taken from this world too soon.

[@Sabianism]

Rest In Piece Ryan. What a legend. Thank you for all the music you've given us you will be missed.

[@the90sguy]

so fucking talented

[@zofficialone6214]

Glad I'm not the only one who came here after the news of his passing...

[@BlargMyShnoople]

This song slaps so unbelievably hard

i didn’t expect you to be into metalcore! i knew there was a reason i watched you, and it wasn’t just for your content

[@matthewking1453]

SERIOUSLY! Whole new level of respect when they drop these playthroughs!

[@MooseDefenseAndOutdoors]

I need a Landmine playthrough

[@c4gob00m]

I love the few they’ve done, just watching Rick and Ryan groove is awesome. I’d love to see Above my Head, The Descent, and Vagabond.

[@demolitions7497]

Still can't believe this happened.... Rest in peace, Ryan. Such an amazingly kind and talented guy. Gone far too soon. You will be missed 💔

[@hw8919]

Crazy how music will have you feeling connected to someone you never knew. The pain of Ryan's passing is truly palpable.

[@xentrique1]

I feel this! Took my Dad to see Polaris with me back in November... When I told my Dad I burst in to tears. Heartbreakjng!!

[@EvoIX09]

Came here to watch Ryan play, after reading the news this morning. RIP legend, you will always be missed 💔 🥀

[@NicolasxMenendez]

RIP Ryan, what a loss man, he was so young, he was inspiring as fuck and I'm a drummer though. Let's keep his legacy alive

[@dannynicholson6195]

Came to watch Ryan play after hearing the news… RIP such an inspiration on my behalf and I’m sure many others

[@zofficialone6214]

Had the same thought. Polaris has been one of my favorites since I first heard The Remedy.

[@dannynicholson6195]

@@zofficialone6214 same here. I heard that song going through a real difficult time in my life and I was hooked. They helped get me through it. What a powerhouse if a band, I hate this whole situation

[@ZL1LoVeR]

Rest In Peace Ryan… you will be missed

[@williamsantos-rf1nk]

R.I.P Ryan, one of the greatest guitarists of his time.

[@user-xb4ru6pv2p]

Rest in piece Ryan Siew 🤘🏼🙏🏼

[@karankulkarni4204]

I remember watching Ryan's cover videos as a kid learning the guitar. It was through these videos that I discovered bands like periphery, intervals, and abr. I always thought "he's such a killer player, I wonder what he'll do in the future". That's when I found Polaris. I went through one of the toughest periods of my life in 2019, and 2020 was when the Death of Me came out. The album quite literally got me through that period and the riffs and leads from this song changed the way I play guitar forever. Thank you Ryan, for everything. Riff lords never die. Rest in Power ❤

RIP Ryan. I had been following you long before Polaris when I started playing guitar again in 2013. Just now heard the news about you.. can’t believe it.

[@bsuqueren]

Rest in Peace Ryan. Such a loss. Thank you for everything.

[@shanadiwinata]

RIP Ryan. You've inspired me so much throughout the years of my guitar playing🖤

[@travisdelee8647]

This song is probably the greatest thing I've ever heard. That part at 3:56 is so unbelievably beautiful.

[@mcneilly420zzz]

Your music has helped me through so much. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, intentions of suicide. I’m so happy and grateful for this to come around at these hard times. With all of my heart, *I FUCKING LOVE YOU GUYS!*

[@Jefftarnish]

Hope everything is going fine for you mate. Keep your head up and trudge through

[@tcsoup8094]

It makes me happy that you’re still here.

[@YeshuaDavidson]

this album is the most beautiful thing in this cursed year... thank you for the good music

[@GiuseppeBalbo]

Damn, those Mayones bring tears to my eyes

[@c4gob00m]

Not even a guitarist, but Mayones and Aristides make some of the most incredible and visually appearing guitars.

[@FrostyPhoenix]

"How much camera shake do you want?" "Yes" Seriously though, sick vid boys

[@nearyouthofficial3854]

Absolutely legendary guitarist in metalcore world. Such a big loss for music world. RIP Ryan. Forever in our hearts.

PRAY FOR RYAN 🥀

[@sc7244]

RIP Ryan ❤

[@TWhew4]

The tones you boys get are literally some of the best around right now. Unreal. Sure now how to write some crunchy tasty riffs too!

[@RickSchreder]

The instrumental track is in this playthrough, but we retracked all parts and used STL Tonehub and layered them over the track. Blends pretty nice with the reamps from the record and sounds pretty nice on their own!

[@RickSchreder]

@Dank Riffs My 7 string does have Juggernauts in at the moment, but I have a new Ragnarok bridge pickup i'll be popping in soon - that's what we used for all rhythms on the newest record, 6s and 7s.

[@michaelhowe7831]

Just got into these guys through an aussie playlist. This band slaps and so sad for them and family. What a talented young guitar player. Will always listen and remember ❤

[@kylanjams7722]

This song changed music for me. I’ll miss you, Ryan

[@jutjib297]

Rest in peace, one of my favorite guitarist.

[@c4gob00m]

I love this so much, and I love how Ryan and Rick can alternate between lead and rhythm. You’re all so ridiculously talented, and it’s awesome to see a play through with Jake too after the few guitar play throughs you’ve done. Drums when?? 😂

[@alienog13]

Terrible news, love that dude. Rest easy homie, much love to his family and band mates.

[@jonwesley6455]

I just can't believe how much of a masterpiece every song they have is... They were destined for each other. I couldn't imagine the pain the band felt / feels losing Ryan..

This makes me think of Tom Searle, very similar sounding stuff, amazing track 👌🏻

[@c4gob00m]

I get the feeling Tom is a massive inspiration to so many guitarists around the world. The way he wrote music and the music he wrote was just amazing.

[@jibsreyes]

awww

[@Pyr0nEx]

Yesssss, I think he would also be happy with the direction Architects is going in. They have been putting out bangers for ages now.

[@aaronseilaff7479]

Idk how to express how monumental his influence on all of us was and still is, i used to play this video on repeat for months on end when this came out just due to my love for the guitar work on this track

Album of the year no contest. On top on that this might be one of if not my favorite metalcore song ever. Good vid kings

[@BriFlipProductions]

Playthrough is sick, and so incredible to see Rick rocking that Alpha Wolf merch. Bands that have "made it" supporting the up-and-comers is exactly what keeps our scene moving forward. Mad props boys

Yeah, the Melbourne show was the last gig I went to. The opening still makes my hairs stick up. Such an amazing song.

It does feel like forever ago. My last show before lockdown too. Don't forget the Live at the Wireless recording is still up on triple js website
