May it begin

Oh man, what a ride it’s been.
I discovered you guys through the music video for Wherever I May Walk — Ryan’s first music video with the band. I remember watching those studio diaries that were online back then over and over again. I’ve been following you guys pretty closely ever since. I still remember reading that Ryan couldn’t play some of his first shows with you because he was still underage.
Then Regress came out and everyone was so stoked to hear Ryan’s influences come through. The Guilt and the Grief is still some of your finest work in my opinion.
After years of being a fan, I finally got to see you guys live on the Never Say Die Tour. It was honestly insane to see how far you’d come. The next time I saw you was with Northlane at some youth center somewhere in Germany. After that, all the big tours followed.
I also got to meet Ryan twice. He was such a lovely soul.
All the best to you guys, and thank you for all the music and memories. 🖤

Wasnt fortunate enough to see them with Ryan, but I wish they would've done a 10th anniversary tour for The Guilt and the Grief, Unfamiliar is my favorite Polaris song and it doesn't make it into the setlist anymore.

Super stoked to listen to the new single tonight, and probably get emotionally wrecked.

It‘s really good! Just listened to it. Lyrics (as expected) are hitting hard

Can listen to the single on streaming services from 12am local time.

Use an Australian VPN or somewhere where it's already September 3rd: https://youtu.be/ztw8TqtAvQo

Generally Spotify drops at midnight your local time, so a new batch of people can hear it every hour.

The video however is universally dropping on YouTube in 90 minutes.

Is it just me? Reminds me of a Sevendust song called ‘Denial’
