The Top 30 Albums Of 2020 (So Far): Polaris - 'The Death Of Me'

'The Music' team on the albums you need to hear from 2020.

More Polaris Polaris

"Very strong, memorable and dynamic… the musicianship is tight and the production is punchy as hell."Rod Whitfield

Describing themselves as “five dudes from the Sutherland Shire and South Sydney, just writing music that we want to hear and we think sounds cool”, momentum has been steadily building for Polaris. 

It accelerated earlier this year with the release of their second album The Death Of Me, which sees them now well and truly at the forefront of Australia’s metalcore scene - and a placing at the #1 spot of this year's Hardest 100 is further testament to that. 

They don’t rest on their laurels though, and it’s this pushing of themselves to do better that elevates The Death Of Me above the pack and bodes well for the future of the band.
