Exciting news, Maniacs!
Sydney metalcore legends Polaris have announced that their highly anticipated new album The Death Of Me is set for release on February 21 via Resist Records. And if that wasn't enough, they've gone and announced an Australia with special guests Wage War, Crystal Lake, and Alpha Wolf too!
Here's what drummer Daniel Furnari has to say about the exciting new record:
“We wanted to walk a line between maintaining what’s defined our band and brought people to our music in the first place, while trying to write for ourselves and keep ourselves interested.
Being our second full-length, we knew it was important for us to surprise the listener as well - nobody wants to hear the same record twice. We wanted to give them things they wouldn’t expect, take them to new places, but also for it to be definitively a Polaris record, building on what we’ve been working towards.”
The album was recorded in the South Coast town of Mollybrook where the band made their previous record The Mortal Coil and was co-produced by the band's front of house sound engineer Lance Prenc and Scott Simpson of Melbourne's Alpha Wolf.
According to Furnari, who is the band's main lyric writer, The Death Of Me will contain some of the band's bleakest material yet:
“We’ve experienced more of the world and gone out of our comfort zone, and I think that’s audible in the music. I think a lot of things people enjoyed about The Mortal Coil we’ve managed to retain, but we’ve stretched the envelope further in every direction of what we consider to be our sound. I just don’t think we could have thought of most of this stuff two years ago.”
