Polar continue to dominate the music scene with the release of their brand new single, ‘Unkillable,’ alongside the pre-order start for their upcoming album Five Arrows, set for release on November 22nd, 2024 via Arising Empire.
Following the impactful anthems ‘We Won’t Sleep’ & ‘Swimming with Sharks’ which captivated fans with its intense lyrics and pulsating rhythms, Polar’s latest track ‘Unkillable’ delves into themes of survival and resilience.
The lyrical concept for ‘Unkillable’ was born from a period of profound challenge and transformation for the band.
“We came up with the concept for ‘Unkillable’ when the band regrouped and became what Polar is today. There was an indestructible feeling amongst us, and we were all inspired by that feeling. This was one of the first songs we wrote together and lyrically, we wanted to convey this feeling of being indestructible. We all agreed on the title ‘Unkillable’ as we had survived death, and the band had returned with a newfound desire to live,” shares Adam Woodford, Polar’s vocalist.
In 2023, amidst significant lineup changes that led to the departure of several original members, founding vocalist Adam Woodford took the reins. Determined to turn adversity into opportunity, Woodford revitalized Polar by bringing on new members Stefan Whiting (bass), Bruno Consani (guitar), Simon Richardson (guitar), and Max Flohr (drums). This fresh lineup has injected new energy and perspective into the band, further amplifying the defiant and transformative message of ‘Unkillable’!

Together, they have produced Polar’s 6th studio album with Jack Murphy at Crystal Sound Studios, exploring the theme of change’s destructive power. This album is considered by the band as their most impactful work to date. With renewed positivity and unyielding determination, Polar has reached new heights of strength and shows no signs of stopping.
