17th October 2024 0 By Jon Deaux

Since 2009 Polar has created a relentless, chaotic, and raw sound which is matched with a notoriously energetic live show. For the last 15 years, Polar has given everything to build a strong reputation and become a force to be reckoned with. In 2023 Polar went through a major line-up change leaving founding member Adam Woodford (singer) to carry the torch as the relationship between past members dissolved. Determined to take a negative situation and turn it into a positive, Adam Woodford rebuilt Polar bringing on board Stefan Whiting (Bass), Bruno Consani (Guitar), Simon Richardson (Guitar), and Max Flohr (Drums) with the focus to give Polar a whole new lease of life. With a fresh new perspective and positivity, the newly formed Polar have played the main stage at Resurrection Festival, completed European and UK tours and have written and recorded Polar’s 6th studio album with producer Jack Murphy (Crystal Sound Studios) ‘Five Arrows’ which goes deep into the subject of the destructive power of change, which Polar regard as their strongest work to date. With Polar finding a new positivity and determination, the band truly feels unstoppable and continue to grow from strength to strength. Polar are stronger than they have ever been and nothing will get in their way.

The band now continue their new album cycle with the release of ‘A New Mentality’ – The band recently announced their album ‘Five Arrows’ will be out on Arising Empire Records on the 22nd November 2024. Over the cycle the band has already had support from BBC Radio 1, Metal Hammer, Consequence, Revolver, Knotfest, Lambgoat, Impericon, Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, Pandora, Distorted Sound Magazine and many other publications.

Adam Woodford – “A New Mentality is about rebuilding Polar with the ambition of bringing Polar back to its glory days and realizing that with the new members and a newfound energy, this can be fully archived by approaching the new era with a new mentality. This new mentality that has been created by us all, really struck a nerve with the new era of Polar so much so that we wanted to use it as the subject matter of a song. The song is about showing resilience, accepting change, and embracing growth. We have archived all of those by changing the bands mindset, energy with a new mentality.”
