Fear: humanity’s great divider, but also its most potent unifier.
It’s this very notion that lies at the beating core of Polaris’s third album Fatalism; a record shaped by the sense of despair and dystopia that engulfed the world over the past few years, and the overwhelming accompanying sensation that we were powerless to change course.
Equally steeped in angst alongside underlying catharsis, an expanded thematic gaze and heavier sonic terrain, Fatalism organically builds on the bleak imagery and hard-hitting soundscapes permeating Polaris’s ARIA Award-nominated 2020 release The Death of Me. But rather than wallow or stagnate, Fatalism instead powerfully holds up a proverbial mirror while also galvanizing the Sydney five-piece’s trademark blend of melodic metalcore, lush post rock, electronic flourishes and beyond.
About the artist
Polaris
Polaris is an Australian metalcore outfit with an expansive sound rooted in progressive metal, post-rock, and electronicore elements and a lyrical style that focuses on themes of anxiety, depression, and loss. The band emerged in 2017 with the acclaimed The Mortal Coil, which like its successor, 2020's The Death of Me, earned an ARIA nomination for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album. 2023's hard-hitting Fatalism delivered a potent set of songs inspired by the emotional strife the group felt during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
