WTF. I saw they pulled out of the rest of the Euro tour last week. This loving sucks.

Edit: statement from the band:

The Mortal Coil is in my top 5 core records ever and this absolute GOAT somehow came out in 2017

Polaris is one of the few /r/metalcore hype bands that actually warrants the priase imo.

Absolutely horrible news. Can't say I ever followed the band particularly closely but I've been digging through some of Ryan's YT videos and he seemed like such a genuinely nice (and insanely talented) person.

This is the album that got me into the genre (a little late to the party huh?) thanks to this very thread. It's probably my favorite album ever and they have also probably become my favorite band.

well why not
Feb 10, 2009




I had only heard a few of their tracks but my GF is a fan, so I went to see them and ALPHAWOLF last year. Not really knowing the songs didn’t matter. They absolutely crushed it. They basically ran on, slammed for an hour and ran off. Absolutely sick. This is terrible news.

it's so good. it's everything i hoped it was gonna be after hearing 30 Under 13. the only critique i can levy against it is that it's too short, lol

It's kind of amazing hearing Greg fitting into place in this band. His vocal style is a little different than it was in Dillinger, it almost sounds like he's trying to let Keith's style seep in a little bit and I think it's loving awesome

e: specific example, the screamed and clean parts in the chorus of Sacrificial Participant really remind me of Dillinger vocals, but the almost-spoken-word thing Keith used to do shows up about 13 seconds into the track and it just sounds right

ETID definitely feels like the most dominant gene of the three main bands represented. Which is great! But I would love to hear them sound more Dillingery or more ENDy in the future too.

Lame :smith: I've been listening to them weekly for the last year or so. Way underrated band, nothing hits quite like 90s/early 00s metalcore.

agree. i still think their vocalist absolutely pales in comparison to their original one, and for an album/ep or two i gave up on them, but this new album is at least holding my attention more than i thought it would

Opinions are like a$$holes....everyone has one....but mines the best!!!
A little out of my taste purview....but I just ran across 'Polaris' a few hours ago. Some downright awesome riffs and all around great guitar work. Sucks to hear that one of their members passed. They kick rear end.

i got a bandcamp notification the other day about a "new" album from them and thought they dropped one unannounced. i was disappointed :( but if you never jammed it before it's a nice reminder they have some raw stuff from a few years back. i think a few songs made it onto errorzone? im too lazy to check

i would not be too terribly surprised if TAS call it quits before long. vincent is 40, how long does he want to tour out of a van. replacing a drummer after 18 years is a bitch. devin and griffin have kids now. recon mike only just joined the band, poor bastard, lol. the It Comes In Waves/Failure Will Follow pairing seems like what the band wants to be doing and they put out Slow Decay and Step Into The Light as the "dayjob" albums (not that they're not good, they rule). who knows. sure am glad i have better lovers now with ETID gone and (possibly) TAS winding down

They announced it midset on Saturday - I was shooting the show!

They sounded great and had buckets of energy still despite only having 2 days off since June 30th or whatever. Absolutely bonkers.
