Polyphia

About

Polyphia isn't just a band; they're a meticulously crafted sonic experience, a testament to instrumental virtuosity colliding headfirst with infectious grooves and shimmering melodies. Hailing from Plano, Texas, this quartet, fronted by guitar maestros Tim Henson and Scott LePage, has carved a unique niche in the progressive music landscape. Their sound, a complex tapestry woven from threads of progressive metal, jazz fusion, EDM, and even hip-hop, defies easy categorization. Imagine Animals as Leaders throwing a rave hosted by J Dilla. Initially rooted in djent, Polyphia shed their metalcore skin over time, embracing intricate polyrhythms, soaring guitar harmonies, and a newfound focus on melody. Albums like "Renaissance" (2016) and "New Levels New Devils" (2018) showcased this evolution, propelling them to wider acclaim. Their breakthrough came with the viral success of tracks like "O.D." and "G.O.A.T.," solidifying their position as innovators. Polyphia's willingness to collaborate with artists from diverse genres – from rapper $NOT to singer Sophia Black – underscores their genre-agnostic approach. With the release of their critically acclaimed album “Remember That You Will Die” (2022), featuring collaborations with Deftones frontman Chino Moreno and Steve Vai, they've further cemented their status as a musical force, pushing the boundaries of instrumental music and captivating a devoted global fanbase. They continue to tour extensively, leaving audiences in awe of their technical prowess and undeniable musicality.
