Polaris are one of the standout names in modern Australian metalcore, emerging from Sydney with a sound that blends heaviness, melody, and emotional weight. Their music combines crushing guitar work with soaring clean vocals and aggressive delivery, giving their records both impact and replay value.
Since their early releases, Polaris have grown from underground favourites to an internationally recognised act within contemporary heavy music.
Rather than relying on pure aggression, Polaris build songs around contrast and dynamics. Their material moves between intense breakdowns, melodic passages, and reflective lyrical themes, creating albums that feel cohesive rather than just collections of heavy tracks.
The lineup features Jamie Hails on vocals, Rick Schneider on guitar, Jake Steinhauser on bass and clean vocals, and Daniel Furnari on drums. Founding guitarist Ryan Siew also played a major creative role in shaping the band’s recorded sound and is widely respected among fans.
We carry a range of Polaris releases on physical formats. Stock rotates as distributor availability changes, so popular titles may not stay in for long.

These releases highlight the band’s progression while keeping their core melodic metalcore identity intact.
All Polaris releases we carry are high-quality CD and vinyl editions, sourced from authorised labels and trusted distributors.
