Nova Polaris: Socially conscious metal for a world on the brink

Musical style

Nova Polaris take inspiration from a diverse range of influences, weaving together the classic sounds of Judas Priest and Black Sabbath with the fury of Code Orange, Corrosion of Conformity and Power Trip. Their sound seamlessly incorporates thrash titans like Anthrax, Megadeth, and Testament. Rounding out their sonic palette are classic rock influences from legendary bands like Rainbow and Led Zeppelin.

Bio

Formed in London in 2023, Nova Polaris make heavy music about heavy issues, crafting metal sounds into politically conscious protest songs. Their debut album, The Future is Already Here and lead single Remember? were released in 2024, a suite of songs bemoaning the state of the world and calling for change.

While their lyrics leave you in no doubt about their stance on money, politics or the environment, the true identity of the Nova Polaris lineup remains shrouded in mystery. Band photography depicts shadowy, figures whose features are carefully hidden from view: just who are the men behind the music?
