The fact they basically mixed their old style and their new one is really cool, sometimes I missed the old-era when they got some shred.. but having both (the shred, the dududu tchtch-tch-tch MAAAAAAAAATH etc) is really nice

That’s been there for a while tbh. Tim never takes the forefront for “solos” His Melody’s sound like solos, but even looking back on songs like G.O.A.T. Scottie really took the defined guitar solo of that track. I definitely agree it’s nice to see more of it. He’s a phenomenal player who gets shadowed sometimes by how ridiculous Tim is as composing hooks.

The thing that I love polyphia for is how they revive my love for music it makes me want to write my own tracks.

These two singles are absolute euphoria. Long Time metal head and I appreciate this band’s creativity.

Gonna appreciate the videography going on here too, guessing it's a robotic arm with a camera on the end of it, synced to the track. It's sick

Polyphia have really shown that they can do literally anything they want musically. It's incredible. From the old shred days of inspire to this now almost sounding like an 8bit video game tune played out on guitar

"It almost sounds like Ariana Grande's voice" - made so much sense when you said it

Tasty melodies and tight grooves!

Happiest song that rips at same time!

My fav part of this song is they let Scott play. A usual song is just Clay and Tim in the video and Scott is my fav member of the band.

"it almost sounds like Ariana Grande's voice" nail on the head I knew it reminded me of something

The drummer playing live had a problem where his earphones didn't play the click that he follows to the temple the song, so he went off of the tapping on his foot by an assistant. It was explained reaction video by DragonForce that it would be very difficult to do. Drummer should get some praise

The melody is super lyrical.

Nik, I'd love to hear you react to Revocation's new single 'Diabolical Majesty'! I feel like you would really enjoy their stuff

Ready for you to get them on a collab vid.

Would love to hear Ian Kennedy from karnivool feature as a guest vocalist for one of their songs

I so agree with the comment that the guitars are the lead singers. Definitely reminds me of Renaissance with a new level of precision, songwriting, and production

Watching Polyphia videos is an experience

you should do some Drift lab reactions in the future :)

This is literally what I think of when I imagine Jazz and Metal together. This reminds me of of the metal version of BadBadNotGood.
