The Australian metalcore outfit Polaris has been steadily growing in popularity and fame. Rightly so, because with every single album they release, they seem to take leaps forward, delivering stellar modern metalcore music every time. So no wonder that about 5 years after their last appearance in Helsinki, they’ve climbed the ladder from playing a supporting show at a rather small club to headlining a pretty big concert hall show! And with them, they brought some very interesting company… The Californian metalcore band Silent Planet managed to create a cool atmosphere with their progressive take on the genre, countrymates Thornhill killing it with their pop-infused version of metalcore, and openers Paledusk kicking off the night properly with a highly infectious blend of genres, lovingly called “chaos-core”, like only Japanese bands can! What an excellent night for fans of modern metal and metalcore!
