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.
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.
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.
0:00 - Regress 3:28 - L'Appel Du Vide 6:45 - Unfamiliar 10:48 - Voiceless 14:45 - No Rest 19:02 - Hold You Under (feat Marcus Bridge of Northlane) Epic EP!
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
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.
The Devil Wears Prada are actually coming back strong surprisingly. Their two new singles are absolutely amazing. But yeah, "popular" bands are going downhill.
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
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
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.
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.
This has to be one of my favorite records of this year. The instrumentals and songwriting are brilliant but most importantly it makes you feel :) great job!!!
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
I found their new album to be well-produced, but overall none of the songs really stood out from each other. It's a good album, but it's just something to play through only to hear their sound rather than the songs themselves. That's just what I feel though, since I listen to nothing but this and similar subgenres haha. To each their own though, I can respect that.
I think if you take in the context of the album (i.e., in many songs the guitarist foreshadows his own death) it comes to life. The lyrics are downright genius. I also found it to be incredibly diverse such that it was in your face, but also melancholic.
Mo's got it. All Our Gods was truly the best album of the past year and the fact that it is in major part about Tom's inevitable death makes it all the more emotional to listen to.
this is soo damn good, devastated i missed you guys on the northlane tour. i'd love to see you guys live, if you could on the next tour set up a all ages date in newcastle that'd be bloody tops. keep up the good work lads
Vos musiques sont vraiment motivante, découvert en début d'année je regrette absolument pas d'être tombée sur vous, bonne chance pour tous ce qui suit, let's go the brother's

Couldnt have said it better 🤘🏼
I hope this dude purchased The Mortal Coil.
Easily the album I have played on repeat the most over the last few years.
I'd only place House vs Hurricane EP in this same category
Preach it my dude!

already copied into the description i guess
bruh im new to polaris and i can't express the hapiness im having by listening to this.... no rest is taking me elsewhere
Ure in for a bad ass ride
No Rest is my top song of 2016. Just brilliant.
Its easily a top 5 song for me now by them
The vocals remind me of Architects and I like very very much!!!!
2023, you still here?
Yup
2024
The boys don't even know how timeless most of their tracks are. Absolute belters left right and centre

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
You guys should have dropped yours first then. Haha
+Mark LePage unfortunately that was out of our hands, and still is atm
+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.
+Petroglyphs Just drop right now
+Westgate You guys too though.
5 years on
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.
Fuck my playlists, this is all I need
+Lonke +1
I accidentally clicked on this listening to The Novelists souvenirs album, and I must say I am impressed with this album keep up the good work guys

Best metal EP ever heard hands down...and I thought zombie EP could never be topped...
Rest in Peace Ryan....Dearly departed, forever near
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.
How the chorus comes in is fucking brilliant, absolutely killing it dudes xxxxxxxx
"No Rest", what an epic piece of art, seriously! I'm listening to this for days now! Of course the whole album is just beautiful! Awesome work!
+Jan Böhme (VGNX DRUMS) Fuck man i know, easily my favourite song of the EP. the whole record is a masterpiece
Timeless 🖤
Still up there
9:00 listened to this part about five times and got chills every time. Soooo goooood.
Took me too long to find this EP but then again everything comes to you in perfect timing.
The snare sounds so fucking amazing in the first song
Fkn love these guys!
This band.... So different..... Melodic as well..... "Simplicity is the key to brilliance." I love it....
Glad I found this band and their album
Damn u guys are fn fantastic!
...Still soooo good.
Can it stand the test of time? Yes. Can confirm
The past year and a half I've been slowly moving away from metalcore, but this is really refreshing.
VistaSuxx meh I can never move away from metalcore
Why? And what are u listening to more of now?
@@Metal_Dude right?
160k views? ugh. this is the best album I've heard in a decade.
"no rest" is so emotionally damm
Amazing... Kind of the best release i had the pleasure to listen to.. And jakes Vocals are amazing. Pls come to Germany
+Tobias Stulz / Music, Metal & More Just astonishing!
seh dich dann auf ihrem Konzert xD
Sind wir ja schon zu dritt.
+Tobias Stulz Jake? its jamie m8 :)
+CoastCore TV nope ;) the clean Vocals are Jake ;)
Tobias Stulz OHHH gotcha, i met them last night i should know hahaha
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.
12:49-13:58 gives me chills every time
Really loving their style and just the whole EP. Keep making more please!
No Rest is the standout for me, I really can't get enough of it !
I feel bad for anything who hit thumbs down on this
You guys create such great music! This is a really amazing album, every song is just perfection! great job guys!
LIT.
+Rui Carneiro RUI CAN I JUST GO AROUND TH-cam WITHOUT SEEING YOU SOMEWHERE
***** I'M SORRY ROXAS
Rui Carneiro DAMN STRAIGHT
really cool EP, Australia definitely knows what they do best. And is that Grant McFarland that was in this or the apocalypse?
Yes, it's that Grant.
+kyle spejewski The very same!
+Mark LePage Grant McFarland is talent.
I Killed The Prom Queen
Amazing combination between Periphery and Architects.
Saw them at Gramercy in NY a few weeks back. The set list was epic .. just a terrific show.
it's pretty hard to overstate how good this is ...
This has to be one of my favorite records of this year. The instrumentals and songwriting are brilliant but most importantly it makes you feel :) great job!!!
until select difficulty I guess ;)
@@louisfroidevaux5012 Until The Death of Me
When i first heard 'Wherever I May Walk" I was like: it doesnt get better than this.
... then I bought this EP! It absolutely blew me away!
this is amazing, MUST BUY
cant stop listening to this awesome piece of musik
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
11:57 is the riff of the year
Polaris, your collaboration with Marcus Bridge is my inspiration to live!
THE VOCALS ARE SO CATCHY AHHH
This is LIT! especially Voiceless
i remember when this first came out and i found it on some instagram metalcore page 2 years ago. crazy to see how big they got
Ryan and the gang are something else. This is amazing.
This is literally everything I wished the new architects album was but wasn't. Possibly even better than what they could do. Well done
I have to agree with that
I respectfully disagree with this. This is great, but not better than All Our Gods.. that album is flawless
I found their new album to be well-produced, but overall none of the songs really stood out from each other.

this EP is so fuckin good, i havent stopped listening to it since i discovered it a few ago
Best piece of music I've ever heard!
Vos musiques sont vraiment motivante, découvert en début d'année je regrette absolument pas d'être tombée sur vous, bonne chance pour tous ce qui suit, let's go the brother's
Love this. Has a bit of Burning Down Alaska feel to it.
after seeing that pale aura cover I knew Ryan was gonna do something interesting
Favorite album of 2016.
02:43 - 02:50
Why is this so good?
RIP Ryan, taken too soon.
The layered vocals in Voiceless are just fucking insane.
This is so good. Can't help but listening to this on repeat!
I just found out about Polaris & they became instantly my favourite band! Awesome EP, keep it up!
Awesome work guys, would be sick to see you guys in the UK finally!
This is absolutely gold.
Polaris speaks the fucking truth for some people about what happens to them in their life and dealing with fucking bullshit
This is too sick. Super well produced. Man, Australia has all the good bands :/
Damn right we do 😎🤘🏼😉
FUCKING AWESOME!!!

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'!
