This music video and their newest album was recorded prior to one of their guitarists suddenly passing. It appears it was mental health related. His name was Ryan Siew. He was quite the youtube internet child guitar sensation prior to the band. I remember watching him play coveres of killswitch engage songs and used his videos to help me learn songs on guitar as well. We all miss him very much in the metal community.
@juttaman25 I got to see them in Columbus Ohio with Wage War and Like Moths to Flames, years before he passed. It was right before they released The Death of Me. I don't think anyone saw it coming.
Great reaction guys! I love these Polaris, I think thier previous album 'The Mortal Coil' is one of the most underrated pieces of work in metalcore... it might even be one of the most underrated albums in metal....Definately worth checking out! It's still got the same old mix of heavy's and cheesy's that Fatalism has, but it's just a little more raw and 'real'. Ta very much :)
What does it mean to be a captive in the confines of your mind? What does it mean to be a hostage to the enemy inside? Excellent lyrics that make me always want to break out of whatever funk I'm in and conquer a day, someway and somehow.
Another band that is very similar, but has a poppier clean vocalist, is Hollow Front. Check out Wearing Thin and Comatose. The screaming vocalist is really good to in that his scream has pitch and melody, especially in Comatose.

I got to see Ryan with one of his last shows with Polaris in Hobart. So sad he’s gone.

RIP Ryan. These dudes absolutely rock.
FINALLY! One of my favorite bands ever. Every song they have is a banger! Please do more of these guys!!
RIP Ryan! I saw Polaris live here in England last March and they were incredible! 🤘
Definitely need to check out Dissipated by them as well. It is just go go go, but has a beautiful melody in the chorus...but good Lord, the outro...

Freaking love Polaris, seeing them in a couple days for the 2nd time 🤘RIP Ryan ❤
Awe have a blast!! 💜-Andrea
Polaris - Dissipate is the best Polaris song out there !
Seeing them on Tuesday! So Pumped! You should just check the entire Fatalism album, it's pure gold.
Love this song- it's got a surprising amount of bass for a metalcore song.
Thank you guys! Loved the reaction 🤘
good request brother
Awesome request Adrian! 😊 -D
