ABOUT PolyphiaFans

Welcome Here Dear Polyphia fans

Polyphia is a primarily instrumental progressive rock band based in Plano, Texas, formed in 2010. The group consists of guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage, bassist Clay Gober, and drummer Clay Aeschliman.
Polyphia's sound is noted for incorporating virtuosic guitar parts with other styles of music.[2] Initially rooted in a metal-focused tone in their early releases, the band's music evolved to a more progressive rock sound in their later productions, combining electronic music and hip hop. Polyphia has released four studio albums, one live album, two EPs, and numerous singles.
Their third album, New Levels New Devils, was their first to chart, reaching 61 on the Billboard 200. Their fourth album, Remember That You Will Die, released in October 2022, debuted at number 33.
History
Polyphia formed in 2010 and first achieved mainstream success after the guitar play-through of "Impassion", from their EP Inspire, went viral on YouTube. Since then, the band's popularity has grown and they have shared the stage with progressive metalcore artists such as Periphery, Between the Buried and Me, and August Burns Red.[3]
The name of the band comes from the word "polyphony", meaning music whose texture is defined by the interweaving of several melodic lines. [4]
They first began to experiment with incorporating pop, funk, and electronic elements into their music on their first full-length album, Muse, released in 2014. The album also featured other guitarists on several tracks, which the band has cited as a source of inspiration.[5] The band was signed to Equal Vision Records after the album charted on the Billboard Top 100, which led to
Style and influences
Polyphia was originally known for their guitar covers of classical songs on YouTube. Their first EP, Inspire, and first LP, Muse employ more progressive metal influences than their later releases.[12] This associated them with the djent movement, although they were characteristically less heavy and more melody-based than their peers.
Their second studio album, Renaissance, saw the band diverge further away from metal, into a more progressive rock and math rock-influenced sound. They also began to mix elements of EDM, funk, and hip hop, with the non-album single "LIT", a remix of the song "Light", the second track on Renaissance.[13]

This sound was further developed with the release of their second EP, The Most Hated, and third full-length album, New Levels New Devils, which featured production from hip hop and EDM producers Judge and Y2K.[14]

Their fourth studio album, Remember That You Will Die, has continued in this vein, further exploring "trap percussion and hip hop stylings", as well as incorporating a variety of genres, such as bubblegum pop and bossa nova.[15]
