![Devin Gibson REACTS to Polaris - LANDMINE [Official Music Video]](/img/n.gif)
They’re one of THE most underrated bands in the scene. Everything they put out is literal art
Jake Diertay honestly don’t think they’re underrated, everyone that knows of them rates them as an amazing band.
I just don’t think they’ve fully hit the scene outside of Australia yet (they have a good following, but I feel it’s going to explode at some point and get bigger and bigger).
Yeah not sure how they go overseas. They have sold out 3 or 4 full Australian tours in a row! I remember seeing them in a pub with about 10-20 people when they first started 🤣
100%
@@joshwakem3447 I saw them last year in Europe touring with Architects and Beartooth. I think only me and a couple other guys knew them :/
Saw them as a support with wage war in a more intimate venue in GR Michigan and they absolutely killed their set. So underrated. And the new album is such a masterpiece
POLARIS - PRAY FOR RAIN.....
Immediately. React, like...right now. 🤟🏻
TheBruteBrody imo their best song
I agree I don't think Pray For Rain gets enough attention. It's so groovy
Absolute banger
Pray for rain still gives me goosebumps throughout the whole dammmmmn song!!!!
I’d say best song on the album
This is the day. This is the video. This is the moment.
Andrew B I feel like this is a pre break down vocal line.
You're not the real Andrew B........ so who are you???
@@GarettChamberlin I don't know what this means but that is really my name. lol
This is why I have my notifications on
Levi Laing thanks for that!
ABR / Polaris NA tour 2021!
ABR COHEADLINER WITH TGI , POLARIS and wcar as support !
Please let this happen lol
That 2nd breakdown was actually illegal. I will be suing. The breakdowns were what made me love the song, the rest was really good but those breakdowns. Woah! I really agree with your thoughts dude especially on the drummer. Daniel is a sick drummer! Awesome video Jake!🤘🤘👍
Like everyone else is saying, Slaughter to Prevail - Demolisher. I'm not a fan of the overall genre, but this song breaks barriers. Relentless. Also Polaris have created a diverse album this time around, not sticking to the norm, making big moves, an yes you should def tour with them in OZ
You guys should tour with Polaris EVERYWHERE man, they RIPPPPPPPPPP especially live the energy is insane. Glad you reacted to this man!!! Y'all kick ass
Funny, I’m seeing this video and comment in 2023, about a month after August Burns Red and Polaris toured Australia after Fatalism came out
A member of my favorite band reacting to a band that may one day be my favorite band if ABR ever stops making music. Thanks for the videos Jake, love the channel.
He may sound like he's a tough guy but Jamie is a super nice guy who will hang out at the merch table and take pics with all the fans, no questioned asked. Super guy
Yes! I've been waiting for a Polaris review! They are one of my favorites!
ps4 Master Race what were your thoughts?
@@jakeabr I think it is really good with all the screams and the cool riffs and the breakdowns of course. Their whole new album was insane!
This song was such a heavy hitter, and one of the heaviest tracks Polaris have released.
It’s such an awesome track because it shows Jake’s (the clean vocalist) different ranges and styles, he has some brutal screams when necessary (shown in Hypermania too).
Massive fan of the album, they’re my favourite band and they just keep releasing incredible tunes.
"Winston agrees" I instantly thought you meant Winston from Parkway Drive, still, wasn't disappointed that it was your dog.
lmfao funnily enough he did endorse this band in an interview
Jake
Veil of maya - outsider
Yes!!! We need them to tour with ABR already!!
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 the first time I saw ABR live, Veil of Maya opened!
@@MlemilieTTV Really, when was that?
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 2012! UK/Europe tour
Yes i agree!!
New veil of Maya is amazing. Also all 3 new currents tracks are extremely good, especially from a vocal stand point.
NORTHLANE - TALKING HEADS OR 4D PLEASE SENSEI
yes northlane talking heads is hands down the best metal track released in the last year man!
4D is my favourite off of the album. It’s a fantastic track and demonstrates so many different styles to Northlane.
4d!!!!!
4D yep
Talking heads
slaughter to prevail - demolisher PLS
Keep em coming! Love these
Iv never seen an artist in metal music who respects other artists like you do. That means i wasnt wrong when i chose abr as my favorite band at the of 16, eight years ago. ^^ + from the other side of planet!! Much love and respect...
New Slaughter to Prevail (Demolisher) is super hype. If you want different, check that out tbh. And I'm not even a huge fan of theirs, but dang, this song is sweet.
Veil of Maya Outsider man, I know the ending is going to give you goosebumps
Jake keep pumping out these reactions bro, love watching these. I watch a ton of metal ore reaction channels but your opinion is like 100x above what they can say about this music and the scene. Much love
Polaris and y’all (ABR) have aoty no doubt. That bloodletter breakdown tho, breakdown of the year also
Trivium for me too.
Haha dig this reaction and the effects you added, loved the album by the way
Northlane - Talking Heads
I am so excited for this reaction Im watching now!!
AUGUST BURNS RED AND POLARIS. My dream show. Please come to Montreal or Toronto or both ill seriously drive to both.
Jake! Norma Jean- Anna. There’s no music video, but man does it hit hard aaaaaand it has Garrett Russel from Silent planet drops in on the break down. Chills
And I was just listening to you guys right now!
These reaction videos are great! So many amazing albums this year!
JAKE! we want morrrree. I love seeing your reactions
The Mortal Coil blew my fucking mind. It was like perfect metalcore but with the modern take.
Like how every Killswitch Engage song from the mid 2000s was just an absolute banger. Riffs, solos, breakdowns, clean choruses, outrageously heavy shit with groove. But most importantly and impressively, PERFECT song structure. The composition, every time, was just picture perfect.
Polaris is really something special.
My Band Throw The Fight was recording at Think Loud with Grant when the Polaris guys came in and myself and some other band mates were lucky enough to do those “HEYS”
On this track. I was blown away by this song. Absolutely tour with them! Great dudes!
Can you please react to slaughter to prevail - demolisher. Probably my favorite song at the moment. The vocals are absolutely insane.
yes PLEASE tour with these legends in Aus. I would love to see you all again and not to mention off the back of two HUGE new records
Normally, I hate reaction videos. But I’m digging this seeing it from somebody I know can throw down some metal jams and helps shine a light on some of the little bits of a song you would have possibly missed.
Your all’s album and Polaris’ albums are both incredible albums this year. Amazing year for music.
I remember watching Ryan Siew guitar cover videos of august burns red when he was just a little kid... and now I'm watching Jake Luhrs reacting to one of his (and the whole band) songs... That's awesome!
Jake!! Check out Polaris- hyper mania also legit!!
Making my rounds of musicians reacting to this song, because it's so fun watching people get blown away by the rawness but also somehow at the same time absolute tight production on this song. Fuckin just love this damn song to death. At this point I drive and listen only to Polaris, and it never gets old.
Yes on the Polaris + ABR tour
Love Polaris and this single. Wish you could tour with them NA! Loved the “Sentenced Delivered” overlay. One of my favorite parts of this video. Keepm comin Jake! Love ya
Honestly. Listen to this whole album. It’s a daily thing for me right now. They are ruthless and talented. Their guitar play through videos are so fun too.
Saw you guys share the stage with them and Parkway in St. Louis a couple years ago. Probably the best show I’ve attended to this day 🔥
Big yes, please 🙌🏻
ABR and Polaris here is Aus would be amazing!!!
I love when Aussie bands get noticed and these guys deserve it so much! 3 sick albums and they keep getting better! Props to Polaris and its so good to see a beast in the metal scene enjoy one of their songs!
It was definetly my favourite track off their latest album. The break down, the verse riffs, and the dudes vocals were just all on point. And as you can imagine its absolute chaos live. And yes to an ABR / polaris tour down under!
goosebumps was so accurate budddy i literally had them at same time you called em on the start of the 1st hook clean vocals
I was meant to be seeing Polaris...TONIGHT!!! Along with Varials, Alpha Wolf and Currents. Genuinely so gutted right now, so this video helped, but also hurt to watch at the same time 😭
And YES! You should tour with Polaris again. But please don’t limit that tour to Australia, we would love to see both you guys in the U.K. too!
My phone came up with a reminder for that show yesterday. It hit hard. 😭
Currents and Polaris in one show 😭 I dont think I would be able to handle it! I saw Currents in Toronto right before quarantine and fell in love.
Scott Drury bro...it’s actually so crap! I can’t explain how much I was looking forward to that gig. Glad I wasn’t the only one in mourning 😅
Dudeg6 I know right! Not seen currents live, but I have heard good things!
Big yes to that tour!!
Love polaris, love this song, love this album.
Also yes, please come back to Aus! Would love to see a polaris ABR tour.
I saw you guys play with them and parkway in Chicago. That show was wild!!
Can't wait for you to hear the full album and the diversity across their songs.
Good job Winston and that Jake guy 🤣! ABR & Polaris tour for sure, in the UK too perhaps? Specifically Scotland in my back yard! Prey for Rain intro on the Death of Me album is fire! Goosebumps for days. Lucid is still my number 1!
Awesome song, cool band to see live too. I would love to see August Burns Red tour in New Zealand!
Honestly just found out about Polaris from there new album and that have easily become one of my top favorite bands now. They have such a great sound. I would travel to Australia just to watch you guys play with them, would be unreal!
i saw Polaris open for you guys, tdwp, and parkway at the Palladium few years ago.. amazing show!!
Obviously you should come to Australia again. The Constellations tour was so awesome and one of the best nights I can remember.
“ he said nah don’t want none “ lol lost it at that.
Loving the tracks and reviews dude 🤘🏼 review Johnny Booth - Thief next! It’s raw energy, think you would dig it a lot.
If you can convince Polaris to play with you guys in Lancaster, I will be there EVERY SINGLE TIME.
This track is epic, the last 30 seconds of the song seal it up so nicely.
Yes, please tour with Polaris and bring them to the US! Glad you mentioned buying the album, it won’t disappoint! All of this is Fleeting is probably my favorite song from the album but Martyr (Waves) is a totally different kind of song it’s chill with some heavy parts. I love it!!
"Lucid" has one of the best breakdowns I've heard
You are the most clearly down-to-earth, humbled, genuinely kind-souled dude ever bro. I thought I loved ABR before...haha. And you're a musical genius? Save some epicness for the rest of us dude. I aspire to be more like you, and many others do too. Just wanted to say this, keep up the reaction vids! My buddies and I love them haha \m/
I remember looking up guitar covers of ABR way back and finding the asian guitarist in polaris performing a ton of covers when he was a kid.
This is pretty cool.
Polaris is growing so fast. These dudes got good riffs and nice verses i personally love them. This song is a banger!
Urgh, "banger".
i listen to this song every day the lyrics is what iv been thinking for so long
I find a sense of joy every time you turn up the volume knob to get more into it.
Yes, please tour with Polaris!
Definitely listen to the album too! Actually, I think Polaris opened for the tour you were on with Parkway Drive and The Devil Wears Prada back in 2018 (first time I saw any of you guys live) but regardless YES! Tour with Polaris PLEASE! I will be all over that!
P.s. Winston is so CUTE! He deserves all the treats and some more video appearances 🙂
This song slaps so hard, the second breakdown is killer
So hyped to see this because The Death of Me is gonna probably remain not only one of my favorite 2020 album releases but one of my all time favorite albums. This song is incredible and honestly at best is my 7th favorite song off the album. The album just fucking delivers at every second.
Hell yeah you should tour with them in Australia I missed your last tour here cuz of work and I love the new album so bloody much definitely hook that shit up mate
This just because the best reaction channel at the moment 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you have the best say because you have real experience
Love the video man. Subscribed and waiting for more!
dude if you dig this you HAVE to check out another one of their singles Hypermania! The whole album is fantastic but Hypermania just hits different.
Hypermania is so freaking good
Please tour with them that'd be dope. Loved their first album too
I only found Polaris about 6 months ago and immediately I loved their music. I think the first song I heard was Masochist and I was instantly hooked!
Long time ABR fan and I love that I found your TH-cam channel. I’d love to see you react to Luxury Letdown by liveconformdie. They are CRIMINALLY underrated and one of my favorite bands. Keep up the good work, and stay safe! ❤️💙
I love this sound and this album. _The Death of Me_ has some really awesome breakdowns throughout. I remember when Wage War wrote songs like this (Alive, Youngblood, Deadweight) that gave me similar feelings.
Loving this content Jake! Keep it up!
Maybe a reaction to some Currents? Poverty of Self / A Flag to Wave / Second Skin are all the new singles from the upcoming album.
The most recognizing and sincere "OK"s I´ve ever heard!
Some of the best guitar work on a metalcore album I have ever heard.
An August Burns Red Polaris tour with be sweet! Jake, I would love to see your reaction and breakdown of Shadow of Intent - Malediction!
Veil of maya - outsider what a sick track you just need to watch it :D
YESSSS!!!! Come down under!
Hell yeah! Got to see Polaris end of Feb on their headline tour in Sydney, right before the rona really got crazy. It went absolutely off! The energy was wild, the crowd was insane. One of the best shows I have seen.
I would pay any amount of money to see ABR tour with Polaris down under!
Hey my fav band reacting to my new fav band. Lets go!!!
I like to see your reaction to their atom bomb... Remedy.....
The song that made everyone realize
That they are different from typical metalcore scene....... They've got something new to show.... Blending aggressive as hell metalcore with smooth melody.....
By the way man.... Your band isn't typical.... don't get me wrong...
Yes Jake! This song slaps
LOVED your reaction to both breakdowns. Glad you checked it out... Should check out either Annalynn - Holy Gravity or Crystal Lake - Aeon.
hellll yeah the aussie boys polarisss! legit have had this album on in the car since it came out. would love to see you react to
pray for rain
all of this is fleeting
waves
hypermania
if you haven't already gone and listened to the album. amazing band
Pray for rain is what sold the album for me.
That song is a journey! 👌🤙👍🔥🤘
One of my favorite bands (along with ABR), and saw them in NY in the Fall. First time I heard them was on an ABR Spotify recommendations list. Their previous album "The Mortal Coil" is fucking amazing, top 5 for me all time. "Casualty", "Sonder", "Lucid"...the whole album is really, really good. 100% need to tour with them, preferably in the US!
My favorite thing about this song that really made my ears perk up was his cadence in the choruses. It just hits different. The whole album is great
Awesome song!!! I know it's a crazy time for everyone and these videos from you are making things that much easier for us, anyway we can support you besides buying ABR merch? Maybe a Patreon or something? Keep it up!
Aussie here. If you toured with Polaris I would be there. Got to see them a bunch last year. With Crystal Lake, Wage War and Architects. Seeing them with you guys would be a crazy night.
It’s cool to see you react to new bands that you undoubtedly inspired when they were young it’s almost full circle. You should also react to Veil Of Mayas song that just dropped called outsider I believe.
Slaughter to prevail - demolisher 🤘
For me the ending breakdown is great but his voice just absolutely sends it home for me. And what hes saying is THE nail on the coffin and as soon as this song comes on instantly blasted. even in the breakdown that's more familiar his voice is what really hits hard to me.
