Polar is an English hardcore punk band based out of Guildford, Surrey, first formed in 2009.
The band is currently signed to German record label Arising Empire. They were previously signed to the American label Prosthetic Records.[1] Polar is known to play typical hardcore music with some metalcore elements, since the released of their 2014 album "Shadowed by Vultures" there have been more melodic elements in their music. Frontman and vocalist Adam Woodford provides raw screams for the tracks that stand out particularly. With the album Nova released in 2019, the band's style was described as softer, but also more serious and complex.[2] Back in 2014, Polar toured Western Europe with bands like Being as an Ocean, Hundredth and Counterparts. In 2018, Polar toured Europe once again with Being as an Ocean, Northlane, Alazka, Casey, Currents, and Thousand Below on the Impericon Never Say Die! Tour.[3] In 2019, Polar toured Germany after the release of their fourth studio album "Nova". They received support from the band Tripsitter, among others, who presented their debut album "The Other Side of Sadness", which was also released in April. After almost four years of silence, the band released their fifth album "Everywhere, Everything" in early 2023 under the label Arising Empire.[4]
