\"\"<\/a>2018 is the year that Sydney five-piece,\u00a0Polaris<\/strong>\u00a0have cemented their place in the global scene among Australia’s most elite heavy music exports with a metalcore torch held high in their hands.<\/p>\n

They recently slapped a sold-out sign on the \u2018Dusk To Day\u2019 Regional tour which followed the sold-out national \u2018The Mortal Coil\u2019 headline tour in April \u2013 two back to back sold out Australian tours in under 4 months. With no signs of slowing down,\u00a0Polaris\u00a0<\/strong>announce their biggest Australian national headlining tour with some heavy-weight international supports in tow. In November,\u00a0Polaris\u00a0<\/strong>will be back on the road hitting all major cities in Australia for their most ambitious run to date joined by\u00a0The Devil Wears Prada<\/strong>from Ohio USA, Alabama\u2019s\u00a0Gideon<\/strong>\u00a0and Melbourne\u2019s very own,\u00a0Thornhill<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“This November we will be doing another lap around the country with The Devil Wears Prada, Gideon & Thornhill.\u00a0These shows are going to be the biggest headline shows we have ever had and to say I\u2019m excited is a huge understatement with TDWP being my all-time favourite band you can bet you\u2019ll be seeing me front and centre in the mosh every night of this huge run.”\u00a0<\/em>Says\u00a0Polaris<\/strong>\u00a0vocalist, Jamie Hails<\/p>\n

One of 2017’s most anticipated heavy releases,\u00a0Polaris’\u00a0<\/strong>debut album,\u00a0The Mortal Coil<\/em>\u00a0stunned audiences and critics upon its release in November, landing at #6 on the ARIA Album Charts and #1 on the Independent Albums Chart, scoring a Triple J Feature Album –\u00a0surpassing the already high expectations around the band set by 2016 EP,\u00a0The Guilt & The Grief<\/em>\u00a0and its impressive touring cycle, which had seenPolaris<\/strong>\u00a0gain a reputation as one of Australia’s most invigorating live heavy acts.<\/p>\n

The road, literally and figuratively, brought\u00a0The Devil Wears Prada<\/strong>\u00a0to their sixth full-length album\u00a0Transit Blues<\/em>. The band has embraced transition and change since their 2005 formation. After the pivotal breakout\u00a0With Roots Above and Branches Below<\/em>\u00a0in 2009, the boys challenged the status quo and notched widespread critical acclaim, landing two consecutive Top 10 debuts on the\u00a0Billboard\u00a0<\/em>Top 200 for the conceptual\u00a0Zombie\u00a0<\/em>EP [2010] and\u00a0Dead Throne\u00a0<\/em>[2011]. 2013\u2019s\u00a08:18<\/em>\u00a0continued to expand their imprint on heavy music, while the intergalactic concept epic\u00a0Space\u00a0<\/em>EP most recently blasted off to a #18 debut and praise from\u00a0Alternative Press<\/em>,\u00a0Loudwire<\/em>, and more. Along the way, they\u2019ve treaded countless miles on sold out headline tours, on the\u00a0Vans Warped Tour<\/em>\u00a0multiple times, and in tow with Mot\u00f6rhead, Slayer, and Slipknot. Throughout the past decade-plus, the band charted a course to this juncture.<\/p>\n

Alabama\u2019s\u00a0Gideon<\/strong>\u00a0released their fourth album\u00a0Cold (<\/em>produced by Will Putney) in 2017, which had impressive debut spots on multiple Billboard Charts. They have toured and shared stages with artists such as Motionless In White, The Ghost Inside, Being As An Ocean and Chelsea Grin and have performed at festivals and tours such as Vans Warped Tour, Bamboozle, Heavy Montreal, South By So What and Never Say Never. Melbourne five-piece,\u00a0Thornhill\u00a0<\/strong>formed just shy of two years ago where Ethan McCann (guitar) and Jacob Charlton (vocals) met in math class and wrote the songs from their debut album,\u00a013<\/em>. They have toured with the likes of Hellions, Void of Vision, Northlane, Architects, In Hearts Wake and Parkway Drive. Their second EP,\u00a0Butterfly\u00a0<\/em>sees the emerge from the chrysalis with six new songs that mark the next phase of their alternative metalcore evolution.<\/p>\n

Polaris<\/strong>\u00a0are touring North America throughout August with Gideon and in September with Parkway Drive before returning to Australia to finish the year off with their biggest headlining tour to date.\n<\/div>\n

To coincide with the tour,\u00a0Polaris\u00a0have released the new music video for\u00a0Dusk To Day.\u00a0“This was definitely our most ambitious clip in terms of concept and execution, and\u00a0 it was really exciting to work on something with more of a visual narrative which we haven’t done in quite a while, with our friend Kieran Ellis Jones who we’ve been wanting to work with for a long time!” Says drummer, Daniel Furnari<\/p>\n

Daniel Furnari also adds,\u00a0“Lyrically,\u00a0Dusk to Day\u00a0deals with insomnia, which is something that a couple of members of the band have really struggled with. It’s a song about that awful consuming anxiety that can comes from being awake when everyone else is at peace, and the way that can play tricks on the mind when it’s allowed to wander. After tossing around a few ideas we realised that to get this right we would have to tap into a feeling of paranoia, so we started to develop our own little psychological thriller short-film.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
