    My initial plan was to cover something off the new Architects record over the weekend, but honestly as much as I love the new album in a musical sense, there just weren’t enough standout riffs to justify a cover IMO. So anyway here’s some more Polaris haha.
    Tuning is drop B. Enjoy! 🤘

      Amazing as always! And since you want riffs, you should cover veil of maya's new song. I cant stop listening to it lol

      I was kinda thinking the same but i still tried some songs of the new Architects album, and to be honest Goliath is pretty fun ! I'd say the main riff of Libertine is cool as well ! But i feel you man !
      Incredible work anyways, this song is fire, and you're insanely good ! Wish i was as talented as you ahah

      @@MikeMrqs Fully agree man, those are the two tracks I was considering learning. The libertine riff is sick, especially after that cool synthy sorta intro. But yeah I dunno, just didn’t feel motivated to learn it haha
      And thank you 🖤

    Man Ryan Siew is such an amazing guitarist. I wouldn’t go as far as to say he’s underrated because he’s definitely clearly well known in the modern metal community, but he has such an incredible ability to create easily digestible lead lines that fit so well melodically into Polaris’ music but still maintain such a high standard of complexity and originality. I’m so stoked that there’s this sort of world class talent coming out of Australia
