Australian metalcore band Polaris has released ‘Without You’, their first new music in three years. The single serves as a tribute to guitarist Ryan Siew, who passed away in June 2023.

The band described the track as ‘the sound of crushing loss, shock, grief and heartache’ intended to help them process the tragedy. The release features a music video combining archival footage with new scenes of the band performing in a cathedral. 

Following the release, the group is scheduled to tour the UK and Europe in late 2026, supporting I Prevail.
