Polyphia

For those new to the band's work, Polyphia is essentially a 4 piece instrumental prog rock band formed in 2014. They have yet to find a drummer they can stick with, but the guitarists and bassist are permanent members. Fans of their early work will surely be disappointed over the relative lack of drop- tuned chug riffs on this album. Polyphia have now gone strongly in the direction of super- catchy melody driven songs contrary to their more percussive counterparts Animals As Leaders and other bands in the genre…

Remember That You Will Die - Polyphia - This new album has no fewer than eight guest spots (out of a grand total of twelve tracks), most of which are singers adding vocal and lyrical colour to the tracks.

Genre-blending instrumental heavyweights, Polyphia, have announced their third full length album, New Levels New Devils, due out October 12th on Equal Vision Records. In celebration of the announcement, the band also shared “O.D.” – the album’s second single – along with an accompanying video. “O.D” truly takes the band to new levels with syncopated riffs that melt seamlessly together, backed by percussion few bands would ever be able to attempt. Further blurring the lines of genre, Polyphia partnered with Y2K (Killy, Yung Bans) and Judge (Migos & Marshmello, Young Thug) on the production of the new single. Across the album, there’s a rotating cast of accomplished hip hop and electronic producers, plus features from guitarists Ichika, Mateus Asato, Jason Richardson, Erick Hansel and Mario Camarena from Chon, Yvette Young from Covet. The only vocal feature comes from one of this year’s most exciting new producer, singer and multi-instrumentalist, known as Cuco.

The Japanese pop-metal group’s third album, which arrives October 11th, will contain 14/16 songs and feature a bevy of guest artists. The musicians appearing on Metal Galaxy include Arch Enemy vocalist Alissa White-Gluz; Sabaton singer Joakim Brodén; Polyphia guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage; B’z guitarist Tak Matsumoto; and Thai rapper F.HERO.
