You’ve probably heard by now, but Polyphia are officially back. That’s right: one of the most influential bands in modern prog metal released their first single in four years yesterday (11 June) – and what a return it was.

It feels like ever since the release of Remember That You Will Die in 2022, the band’s resident electric guitar virtuoso Tim Henson has been teasing what we can expect from Polyphia 5. Not only has he been getting familiar with an Ibanez eight-string prototype, Henson also told Guitar World that the new record would be heavier and more energetic than anything before it.
