Polaris deelt nieuwe single"Nightmare" ter promotie van hun nieuw album 'Fatalism', dat morgen uit komt.

De melodieuze metalcore-outfit Polaris uit Sydney keert vandaag terug, gewapend met een woeste nieuwe single/video Nightmare. Nightmare is afkomstig van het aanstaande nieuwe album "Fatalism" van de groep, dat op 1 september uitkomt via Resist Records in Australië en SharpTone Records voor de rest van de wereld.

Met een even onheilspellende videoclip waarin de dystopische thema's van het nummer worden vastgelegd, brengt Nightmare ook hulde aan het recente verwoestende verlies in de Polaris-familie, zoals drummer en tekstschrijver Daniel Furnari uitlegt: 

"We created this video with our friend Ben Wrigley, AKA Third Eye Visuals, who found some amazing locations and imagery to help us convey the track when paired with his brilliant editing skills. This was the second of three music videos we filmed with Ryan earlier this year. It has been a challenging and very emotional task to complete these videos in light of what has happened, but after careful discussion with his family we collectively felt that we wanted to share with the world the final things that Ryan created with us. We will proudly cherish the memories of him contained in this footage, and hope you will too."

Na de release van "Fatalism's" eerste single, Inhumane, gaat de oorsprong van Nightmare terug tot de "Infancy" van het album, geschreven in 2022 tijdens een schrijfsessie van een week in de Blue Mountains.

"Nightmare is a reflection on the constant state of fear that the world at large seems to have lived in for much of the past couple of years - the feeling of waking up every day into a dystopia of uncertainty and anxiety where nothing really feels safe anymore," deelt Furnari. "The more I thought about it, the more I arrived at the conclusion that maybe this fear was the biggest thing we all had in common during a time of such great division - that our collective dread was our greatest unifier. That concept then really helped to shape the thematic direction of the rest of the record.

"This was the second song that was written for the album,"  gaat Furnari verder, "and it started with that chorus melody, chords and lyrics, which I brought to the guys to build a song around. We fleshed it out on our first writing trip to the mountains and it developed into a very riff-heavy song, with the guitar being passed back and forth a lot between Rick and Ryan and all of us weighing in, so I think we all had an early attachment to it for that reason."

Polaris zal in september hun nieuwe album "Fatalism" lanceren met een nationale headline-tour naast August Burns Red, Kublai Khan TX en Currents, voordat ze aan een internationale run beginnen ter ondersteuning van While She Sleeps in het VK en Europa, optreden op Aftershock 2023 en de aftrap geven voor een North Amerikaanse headliner in oktober.
