As someone who have followed them religiously since their first EP, it’s so cool to see them still retaining the early 2010s DJENT/ Prog-metal influences. I can hear references to Meshuggah and Vildjharta on this one.

And i have nothing against hip hop or w.e. but its just silly and feels immature. But ig if it makes them happy / money then wtf am i doin here.

They manage to incorporate things that wouldn't normally be apart of the genre (whatever genre you want to consider it)such as rap beats. Have you heard of or listened to 'The Most Hated'? Not to mention that's a large part of the reason they're popular, aside from the crazy technical stuff they incorporate.

FINALLY! A Polyphia song I can actually kill it at karaoke 😂

Polyphia is one of the few bands that can convey emotion so brilliantly with nothing more than sheer technical and creative ability. Their music is so unique I actually don’t like a lot of their songs at first and then after listening a few times I fall in love. Audacity was a track I though seemed weird, but it’s just because I’ve never heard anything like it. The entire album is amazing. My favorites are chimera, bloodbath, and audacity. Congrats to the band on the release and try not to make us wait so long for new content.

i can see scottie perform with the v playing the distortion parts and tim with the tod10n ibanez playing the spanish classical parts

All the vizualizers are amazing but this is my favorite by far, the organic distorded motions give such an odd uncanny feel, absolutely love it.

best song of the album along with Reverie imo. Chimera does a wonderful job of showing off the styles they've picked up over the years and masterfully blends them together in a way where you can clearly tell where each one ends and the next begins but it still manages to connect perfectly and sound great. Truly deserving of the name Chimera. Honestly it gets better each time you listen to it.

God I love that nylon riff so much

0:39 to 1:00 is sooo insane i love it best song on the album imo

Like bro, this touches my soul.

This song makes me think of a conversation between a man and a woman.. The softness of the woman with the first guitar and the heaviness and authority of the man with the second.. It may be a personal interpretation but it do i feel

Chimera is my favorite song. There's something that's solid in this song

I'm so torn between this and "Reverie" for favourite track. Tomorrow I'll probably be vacillating between two different tracks. These are the BEST dilemmas. Thank y'all so much for this album.

Tim back on the nylon love it. Crazy idea. Tim and Scott back on nylon and Clay on a double bass. Downsize the kick drum a smidge…then see what these geniuses come up with…

Good lord everything they do is just nuclear fire. I seriously stumbled across "Playing God" having never even heard of Polphia and just can't bring myself to listen to anything else. Everything they do is my absolute favorite thing in that moment. I can't find anything by these guys that isn't an instant classic for me. It took all of 45 Seconds to realize that want to be at as many shows as I can, buy their merch and spread this music to everyone who'll give it a listen. Instant Life-Long fan.

0:17 idk what it is about this part but it felt like my brain was vibrating I LOVE IT

Man, this new song is dope! The visual part of the video fits perfectly with the song) It's cool that Polyphia have chosen William Blake's "Red Dragon" as a clip inspiration.
