Polaris at Irving Plaza

Polaris has announced their North American tour to promote their third full album, Fatalism. The album is described by the band as "holding up a proverbial mirror while also galvanizing the trademark blend of melodic metalcore, lush post-rock, electronic flourishes, and beyond." It builds on the bleak imagery and hard-hitting soundscapes permeating Polaris' ARIA Award-winning music.

The band wrote the album in a way that encompasses the sense of despair and dystopia that has engulfed the world over the past few years, brought upon by the worldwide pandemic. They have since expanded their thematic gaze and created an album based on a heavier sonic terrain.

Daniel Furnari expounds on this, saying, "I think for a lot of people over the last few years, when you're facing a constant barrage of horrible news coming from every corner on a literal daily basis, eventually you reach a point where the initial shock and sadness wear off, and you find yourself becoming almost numb to it." These thoughts are what led them to create this new album filled with raw emotions and angst.

Since the band's formation in 2012, they have released a wide range of metalcore songs that make listeners feel engulfed by the thought-provoking lyrics. Their songs talk about real-life experiences of dealing with anxiety, depression, and loss. In today's age, it is vital that you never feel alone throughout your struggles—that is what Polaris stands for. They aim to humanize these experiences and make you feel that you are not alone; and you, just like them, will come out stronger.
