And The 2019 Hardest 100 Winner Is...

Polaris' Masochist has taken out this year's Hardest 100! 

Hosted by The Faction and proudly presented by The Music, the countdown took place from lunchtime today to determine the best heavy song of 2019.

"I was not expecting that!" Polaris' drummer and songwriter Daniel Furnari said after finding out the group had taken out the #1. 

"I thought we might do ok, but this is incredible, thank you so much to all the people who voted!"

This is the first year that UK group Architects have not taken out the #1 place, with Doomsday taking out the Hardest 100 of all time in 2018 and Hereafter winning last year's countdown.

Joining Polaris in the top ten was The Amity Affliction's All My Friends Are Dead, Ocean Grove's Ask For The Anthem, Bring Me The Horizon's Ludens, A Day To Remember's Resentment, Slipknot's Unsainted, Northlane's 4D and Bloodline, Make Them Suffer's Hollowed Hearted and Thornhill's Nature. 

Six of the top ten tracks were by Australian artists and there was a total of 57 Australian tracks throughout the countdown.
