Polaris Present ‘Overflow’ From Upcoming Album ‘Fatalism’

Aussie melodic metalcore band Polaris have unveiled their latest single Overflow from the highly anticipated album Fatalism, set for release on September 1st. Despite the heartbreaking loss of guitarist Ryan Siew, the band decided to proceed with the album’s release.

The emotionally charged track Overflow showcases Polaris‘ signature layered sound. Drummer and lyricist Daniel Furnari sheds light on its meaning, delving into personal struggles and the impact on others.

“This is one of the much more personal and vulnerable tracks on the record lyrically, whereas the other two singles took a wider, more outward perspective.

“I feel like the meaning of the song is fairly self explanatory, and I think a lot of people will naturally interpret it through the lens of their own experiences, but essentially for me it’s about the struggle of fighting off a panic attack and the impact of that struggle on others.”

Check out the new song and music video below:

‘Fatalism’ by Polaris:

  1. Harbinger
  2. Nightmare
  3. Parasites
  4. Overflow
  5. With Regards
  6. Inhumane
  7. The Crossfire
