Polar have been making a name for
themselves in the hardcore scene since forming back in 2009 and with new three
track EP “Inspire Create Destroy” released this month through Drop Dead
Clothing, their success is set to continue. The EP may only contain three songs
but it is a musical juggernaut, and from beginning to end is gutsy, passionate
and relentless; what Polar do best.
Beginning with “Inspire”, the
onslaught of heavy drums immediately sets the tone for the track and indeed the
rest of the EP. Lead vocalist Adam Woodford commands the song which is filled
with intricate but aggressive riffs. “Create” ups the ante even more; faster
and more building, the vocals soar and with gang vocals to boot it truly is an
anthem sitting right at the heart of the EP. The bleak, stripped back opening
of “Destroy”, the final track on the EP, makes way for a musical ascent with
complex riffs and a barrage of percussion. POLAR don’t hold back and nor would
we want them to; they are full-on and unstoppable. The final track is defiant
and dynamic with a lull in tempo mid-song before coming back louder, stronger
and more antagonistic than before, closing out the EP on a high.
Precise but still holding down
that raw edge, “Inspire Create Destory” harnesses both the power of the band’s
impressive untamed live show and strong musicianship; the perfect trio of songs.
And with only three tracks to get your ears around, POLAR definitely leave you
wanting more. 9/10
“Inspire Create Destroy” released through Drop Dead Clothing on May 27th.
