Photos by Scott Mayberry – 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.
The band has stated their influences come from artists of all genres. The group started out with a heavier shred-oriented style but has since created a more melodic-focused sound. When describing the album Muse, guitarist Tim Henson says that the primary inspiration came from pop and rap music.
