Artist Bio

Three years of tireless touring, boundary pushing writing and independent recording saw POLARIS groom an army of supporters that’s already the envy of many in the heavy music realm, all of which culminated in the unveiling of »The Guilt & The Grief« in January of 2016. Whereas most self-released EPs register as a mere blip on the radar, POLARIS’ sophomore disc landed at #34 on the nation’s ARIA chart, as well as a head-turning #2 finish on the AIR polls!

Recognising the very public birth of our country’s next legitimate contender, labels quickly came knocking. Undeterred by the slew of offers in front of them, POLARIS continued to do what POLARIS does best, landing supports with fellow prog-metal enthusiasts NORTHLANE, Triple J darlings HELLIONS and finally PARKWAY DRIVE, who POLARIS can now proudly call label mates after signing on with the legendary Resist Records in Australia, ably supported by Cooking Vinyl Australia. In all other areas worldwide (except for New Zealand) they signed a contract with SharpTone Records.

When it came time to make their new album, The Death Of Me, Sydney metalcore outfit Polaris knew they had a tall order on their hands. Its predecessor, 2017 debut The Mortal Coil, was an ARIA-nominated, Top 10 hit in Australia, introducing the group to legions of fans around the country and, thanks to an extensive international touring schedule, the world.

“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,” begins drummer Daniel Furnari, one of the main songwriters in the unit. “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.”
