- In loving memory of Ryan Siew
Nightmare is the second single from our third LP ‘FATALISM’, out now via Resist/Sharptone.
Listen to FATALISM: bfan.link/fatalism
LYRICS:
I saw the signs
The signal fires that burned atop the hill
Rising tides and violent skies
All the while the world was standing still
Defenceless as a rat in a cage
Living with our backs to the wall
From the minute we wake
Too sedated to notice
We’re living in a nightmare
A pre-apocalyptic wasteland
Is there no one who can save us
If we refuse to save ourselves?
Our best intentions pave our path to hell
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?
We’ve been here before
I guess we learned nothing
The signs were all but ignored
The planets collide as we all stop and stare
Too jaded to notice
We’re living in a nightmare
A pre-apocalyptic wasteland
Is there no one who can save us
If we refuse to save ourselves?
Our best intentions pave our path to hell
I see their shadows dance on the walls
As voices echo in empty halls
It makes my stomach sink
As I close my eyes and beg for sleep
Chaos kills the calm
Fingers through my palms
I can’t make it stop
Somebody kick the chair and fucking wake me up
Spare your thoughts and prayers
They’ll never be enough
It only tightens the noose
The more we struggle to cut ourselves loose
Every cry rings out like a shot
The streets run red as the forests wither and rot
Declaring with their final breath
Eternal fear is a fate worse than death
But no one’s gonna save us
If we won’t fucking save ourselves
Our best intentions pave our path to hell
We’re living in a nightmare
(Never again will we sleep)
A pre-apocalyptic wasteland
(Until we are weary and weak)
And there’s no one who can save us
If we refuse to save ourselves
Our best intentions pave our path to hell
And you will see me there when they tighten the noose
I deserve this just like the rest of you

Kid was young
@@DarkMustard1337 not a fan of Polaris huh? nice try but u fail the touring test......obvious malfunctioning ai robot. u may delete your hard drive now

absolute banger as usual. So excited to hear the full album. Keep making Ryan proud boys
How's it going man? Been loving the content lately
I did not know that matt listens to polaris. Congrats on 1 mil!
based music taste
🤍
Oh shit I used to watch you and the boys all the time. This album gonna be 🔥
I’m thankful Ryan was able to share his gift with us while he was here and bless us with part of his soul in the form of his music. Turning this one all the way up for him now 🖤
Damnit I was unaware until just now. Devastating. So shell shocked right now. Off to listen to Crooked Path now.
Jamie’s voice is getting better and better each album. He’s really shaping up to be an all time vocalist
Thank you so much you legend 🖤
Literally aye, his live vocals are getting so much more insane too
@@jamiehails3807the most factual statement! Was that Jake coming in with a scream?!
@@elleinad4567yes! He’s also done some screaming on Hypermania
@@LucasBozovichthat's right! I forgot he does in that
So grateful you guys recorded 3 new music videos with Ryan!
Rest easy, legend. ❤
I thought they only released 2 so far
@@ayujio9998They have one more coming
Who's Ryan?
@@mannyblackstar He was the lead guitarist for the band, he sadly passed away in June
This album is going to hit harder than all the others. Rest In Peace Ryan Siew
So true🥲
The way you wrote this makes me wonder if something has come out around the cause of Ryans death...? I had feared that was what happened. This was a really hard watch. Incredible song though!
We stand with you all and respect Ryan wholeheartedly. Thank you for the sick riffs brother, rest in peace. ❤
3:11 "the streets run red, as the forests wither and rot" ... yeah, these guys know whats coming. both tragic and beautiful. love your music boys.
That chorus! Gets you right in the feels. It's so good to have Ryan forever in this video. His legacy lives on. So many people with so many good stories about what an inspiration Ryan was to them. Rest in Peace...Rest in Power, Ryan. You will always be missed. 🤍
Thanks Ryan for being such an inspiration and help me get through the hardest moments of my life. I saw Polaris live for the first time last year, I screamed my lungs off for every song because they mean so much too me, I hope he got to know the impact he had on so many like me. You will forever be missed Ryan, Rest in Peace
AMAZING TRACK!!!!
Rest in peace Ryan Siew. You will be dearly missed ❤
Ryan will be missed huge. Such a beast guitarist, heaven has some mad riffs now.
Reading the comments is how I find out, fuck man I'm devastated. Ryan thank you so much for the art you created and the joy you brought to every music video and concert, as well as the joy you've brought me over the years. An absolute wizard on the guitar, you'll be sorely missed. Condolences to the family, rest in peace legend
That was insane 🔥 May the Riffs be with you Ryan 🔥
Rest in peace, Ryan! You are missed!!!
I've been jamming this track since it dropped, and the guitar tone at 1:40 is still as filthy as it was when I first heard it. If I could inject it into my bloodstream, I would. That's straight gas.
RIP Ryan. Your passion for music was infectious, and we will remember you forever.
thanks,i was wondering how no one was talking about that short but absolutely insane section at 1:40
Filthy is the best word for it! Makes me schrunch my face up and just bang. So gnarley
Freaking teared up when Ryan's guitar solo came up! Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!! RIP Ryan! ❤❤❤
its a great song, but why would you tear up form a guy playing a guitar?? I also never heard a guitar solo.
@@_Nibitheir guitarist died shortly before. So that‘s why
@@chimpychompy3028 How did he die?
❤ RIP Ryan! We respect all that you and your band have accomplished. Thank you Ryan! Thank you Polaris!
🤘😉🤚 🖤🖤🖤❤❤❤
Wow... just wow! The smoke flare got me for some reason! Very moving guys brought a tear on for sure! RIP Ryan❤
True :')
Jamie's vocals continue to be incredible, few vocalists manage to convey aggression and emotion this well with screamed vocals.
Ryan did incredible work, he was such a talented guitarrist.
RIP Ryan!! My absolute favorite band of all time. Can't even express how excited I am for this album
Feel the exact same way
This is gonna be so sad watching ❤ rest in peace Ryan, thank you for all your incredible work, you’ll be missed so much. Truly one of a kind
Cant help but keep this on repeat. That melodic chorus is just too heartwrenching
Rest in peace king 👑
Those lyrics hit extra hard. Thank you for sharing this with us, and thank you for continuing to honour Ryan's memory each and every day.
Im patiently waiting for this to drop! Rest Easy Ryan 🙏🏻Thank you to the entire band for your dedication and continuing to make music that feeds our souls!! We love youuu!!! 🖤
Ryan is a legendary musician
This song has proper clicked. Can’t stop playing it now!!!!
Everyone in Polaris is so skilled. Rest easy Ryan, hope I’m able to leave half the level of a legacy you have
RIP Ryan. Love you, Polaris. Thank you very much, your music makes me SO happy ❤️🩹
Absolutely fucking stratospheric track guys. An honor and a privilege to be able to share your journey with you. Ryan's memory will live in infamy within the gift of music you have all given us. Love. ❤❤
What a Boppenheimer. 🤯
I started following Ryan on his TH-cam channel, the first video I saw was a periphery cover he made, I was immediately blown away by his skill. it made me so happy when he joined Polaris. Thanks for everything Ryan
It's nice seeing Ryan so lively, doing what he loved one last time. Rest in Power, my brother. 🥲🤘🏻
Miss you Ryan, how proud you must have been of this incredible song and what I’m sure will be an incredible album. You’ll be with us at all times.
We will have the gift of Ryan's music forever 🖤🤘
The videography and production team always make their songs pop with the finished and polished visuals and camera work.
Thanks boss
Mad respect for you guys releasing this, I know it couldn’t have been easy. Ryan will be dearly missed. For everyone that was fortunate to know him in life his memory lives on.
But for the rest of us like me, he will live on him the music he left for us to enjoy though out the years to come.
Rest easy Ryan, and keep making him proud guys. In memory and music. 🤘🏻
This is just so fuckin good, and im so glad y'all decided to go ahead and release stuff so we all get to hear and experience his/your last masterpiece together. RIP Ryan.
Rest in peace Rain. We love you. Forever...
So glad we get to see and hear Ryan’s creative genius even just a little bit on this album, The world has been blessed with him and we’ll never see anything quite like that amazing man again. We’re all feeling the heavy loss, but not as much as you boys. Stay safe and well my friends❤
For our friend, brother, legend Ryan
avenged sevenfolds first music video without the rev was also Nightmare.. spooky..can't wait for this jam and all the emotions it's gonna bring!
Thank you boys ❤ Miss you already Ryan, you're legacy will live on x
Ryan's lead at the end with Jake's cleans over it.... Chills and tears. Ryan, rest easy. Your legacy is set, your gift to all of us is eternal.
What an incredible track. I didn't know Ryan but many around me did. His smile will be missed, may he rest peacefully now ❤
Goosebumps. The song is amazing, so emotional to see Ryan...can't find more words now, just thank you. 🖤
THIS JUST BLEW MY MIND HOLY SMOKES DUDES!!! Man, what an incredible song and video, Ryan will forever be a treasure to listen to and what a way to honor him! Cannot wait to see you guys in October to support you all and everything Ryan was about! THANK YOU POLARIS!!!
Me too! Torontoooo! Can't wait. This song just slapped me in the face and blew me away. 😮
I thought Polaris announced that their current tour was cancelled?
@@thornstrikesback they did cancel some European dates, but the Australian and North American tours are on.
Im not crying... youre crying 😢 ROCK IN PEACE RYAN !!!
RIP Ryan. One of my biggest inspirations to get better at guitar. Amazing lead writing and just amazing guy overall. You will be sorely missed. This album will be one of your greatest
One of the best songs by you guys. Jamie’s voice just HITS in this one. Rip Ryan, a true icon ❤
New Architects??? thank you!! BLEHH!
Ryan will be proud of you. Keep making music forever guys.
This was my first time hearing Polaris, I subscribed a minute in.
The genius of Ryan will never be forgotten… may he rest in peace ❤
Rest in peace Ryan Siew. You created incredible art in music with your mates. Thank you and I will never put this band away I love you guys!!!!
I never went so fast from being super stoked at seeing a new Polaris video to super bummed, at learning about Ryan ... just, fuck. Seriously dudes, I'm sorry for your loss.
R.i.p. Ryan 😢
Absolutely amazing! This song hits hard in so many ways.
RYAN SIEW FOREVER 🖤
Banging riffs Ryan! Jaw dropped again from your talent! Rest In peace😢
literally tears down my face the entire video
just STUNNING musically and visually, this album is going to be something special. RIP THE LEGEND RYAN SIEW
Ryan Siew forever. Keep it up for our peacefully resting legend, boys. 🖤
You guys deserve all the success in the world. Can’t wait till this album releases. The Death of Me will always be one of my favorite albums of all time
One of the best guitar riffs of this year, no doubt about it for me
Ryan will be proud of you. Keep making music forever guys.
The first time Polaris graced my Spotify autoplay, it was Ryan's riffs that really hooked me, made me stop, look, and remember. Since then his and the rest of the band's presence in my life has genuinely made it better, even if in a small way, and I know I am not alone in that. Rest in peace Ryan, I know not exactly how many lives you touched, but you and Polaris have certainly made your mark on mine.
Solid catchy song as usual from these guys! RIP Ryan; every time I saw him in the video, it was just like a feeling of sadness... I still can't believe that guy passed away at 26. Life is so unpredictable out there. Stay strong, guys. ❤
Awesome video and song. RIP ryan
Just finding this band….Spectacular!!!!🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿
No cap the best modern metal song to come out in years. Beautiful harmonies and overall just a banger
Absolutely heartbroken for the guys and the family, rest in peace Ryan, you brought so much light to peoples lives with your performances and songs. So much love to those out there struggling! You're not alone!
Ryan will pround of you guys!
Miss you Ryan.
Bloody brilliant video and song guys.
I was shocked to hear about Ryan’s death. I mourned him. And a very short time after that, one of my best mates whom I’ve known for 11 years tragically passed away. I’m sure the band’s dealing with all kinds of emotions in the wake of Ryan’s passing, but we grieve with them and some of us, like those in my case, are dealing with that same pain hitting to close to home. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if this is the kind of pain you’re dealing with right now, I want you to know that you are loved and you’re absolutely not alone ❤.
🖤
Everything about this track is insane, the guitar tones are absolutely perfect imo. Rip Ryan
Rock In Paradise Ryan❤ Love From Timor Leste🇹🇱
Love that they also credit everyone who was a part of making the video all the way to the caterers. Shows true class. Mad respect 🫡
Another absolutely banging Tune Polaris are one of my favourite Aussie metal bands keep up the great music and Ryan you are a bloody legend and you will be forever missed RIP mate 🤘🤘😢
Absolutely amazing!
And good to see the last bit of Ryan in this music video. May he rest in power.
You will be missed, Ryan. The Death of Me helped me through some of the darkest times of my life, and a lot of that reason was his beautiful and emotional guitar playing that just spoke to me. I wish that he was here to see this. You guys are making him and all of the rest of your audience proud
thank you , ryan (and all of the polaris crew involved)
Perfection. The groove. The changes. The melody. The emotion. I'm blown away. Creepo loves this band.
Sadly, it took Ryan’s death for me to give them a listen… because I would never have heard of them. Ryan lost his life but saved mine by introducing me to this band. I may not have ever known you, but Ryan, you’ve already done so much for the world and for me. Rest in peace, my king. 🖤
This is so true. I relate to each and every word you typed.
The emotion evoking guitars from Ryan are incredible. May he rest in piece with this beautiful legacy he's left behind. Love you guys
Love the video. Plus lots of shots of Ryan which I really like too. Rest easy ryan
I knew this was the handiwork of ThirdEyeVisuals within the first few seconds. RIP Ryan, never forgotten thank you for all the incredibly music you gave us
🫡🫡
This is SUCH A BANGER !!! The album is gonna be a ripper for sure
RYAN SIEW FOREVER ❤
I'm glad I finally found out about Polaris, through Nik Nocturnal, but I'm also feeling for everyone, fans and family, for the loss of an outstanding talent that Ryan was, and it's easy enough to see in just 3 songs (this, Inhumane and Lucid are my top 3 atm) how good he truly was. Humanity, music, metal, Australians, have lost a great human being. If the journey ends here (just theory), I will blare these boys out for the rest of my life, this stuff is pure bangers. If it continues (I hope so), these boys will stay with me forever, I want to see the Aussie metal scene grow.
Thank you for welcoming me into the community, let's rock out to awesome Polaris, and keep Ryan, and more importantly his family in our thoughts.
Was here 10-11 days ago for the premier back for Ryan man RIP ❤️
We all love you Ryan. Rest in Heaven ❤
This was an absolute banger! So SOOOO sorry for your guys loss 🙏 My thoughts are with you all! r.i.p. Ryan
Words just cannot express how incredibly powerful this video hits! Unbelievable music from an absolute god tier band. Thank you boys for getting me through some of the darkest times in my life. Rest in peace to you Ryan, this is some absolutely stunning footage of you. You will be missed by so many 🖤
Simply beautiful rest in peace Ryan
Heart goes out to this band and their struggle with losing a family member… that being said so happy they decided to release the songs that Ryan worked so hard on to honor his memory. This song is amazing.. rest in peace Ryan and God let peace be bestowed upon the suffering hearts of this band and family.
That riff at 01:40 kicked like a mule!! Great track guys
