“Polyphia”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Polyphia is a primarily instrumental progressive rock band based in Dallas, Texas, ^[1] formed in 2010.

History

Polyphia first achieved mainstream success when the guitar play-through of "Impassion", from the EP, Inspire, went viral on YouTube. The band continues to grow in popularity and have gone on several national tours sharing the stage with the likes of other progressive metal giants such as Periphery, Between the Buried and Me, and August Burns Red.^[2]

Polyphia has featured guitarists such as Jason Richardson (Chelsea Grin, Born of Osiris, All Shall Perish and All That Remains), Aaron Marshall (Intervals), Mario Camarena (Chon), Erick Hansel (Chon), Yvette Young (Covet), Rick Graham, Nick Johnston, Jakub Żytecki and Mateus Asato.^[3]

The band states that their influences come from artists of all genres. The group started out with a heavier shred-oriented sound but has since matured into a more melodic-focused band. When describing the album, Muse, Timothy Henson says that the primary inspiration comes from pop and rap music as to not draw influence from other artists of their genre.^[4]

Style and influences

Polyphia is known for their catchy melodies, mathematical rhythms, funky grooves, and progressive song structures.

The band was originally known for classical guitar covers on youtube. Their first EP, Inspire and first LP Muse both show the band's admiration for pop music. However, both works employ more progressive metal influences than their later releases. ^[5] 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 into the mix with the single LIT, a remix of the song Light, the second track on Renaissance. This sound was further developed with the release of their second EP "The Most Hated" and third LP "New Levels New Devils."

Contemporary music critic Anthony Fantano labeled the band as math rock, with a mix of elements from progressive rock, progressive metal, R&B, and hip-hop.^[6]
