Speaking about focus track ‘The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Violence’ Adam Woodford – “The concept for this song really came from learning to live in the hostile world we all now live in; it struck me to the core how aggressive and unapologetic humanity has become. It causes me pain to see and witness acts of mindless violence and the trail of destruction that it causes. I felt I needed to translate these emotions through the lyrics, to compliment the heaviness of the music.”
On the album itself he continues – “Five Arrows is the beginning of a brand new era of Polar and the record is a symbol of resilience. The album allows the band to break the mould musically to what has come before, pushing the sound sonically in a brand new direction but at the same time not losing the rawness and energy that the band has come to be known for. To accompany the newfound sound, lyrically it digs deeps into the theme of the destructive power of change and the positive and negatives that come with it.”
