In order to see that vision all the way through, our North American shows will now take place in February/March 2027. We know a lot of you already made plans to come see us, and we don’t take that lightly. Thank you for being patient with us and sticking with us. We genuinely can’t wait for you to hear this record and experience it with us.

A press release offered more details on the album:
“In an effort to seemingly better understand and treat trauma, addiction, and obsession, a med-tech company called Liminal-Neuro runs psychological tests on various subjects by administering an experimental drug labeled ‘Neuro Veil.’
When these experiments fail, a radiant ancient female entity known as ‘The Veil’ materializes, embodying the subject’s most intimate desires. This manipulative force brings out the worst in her victims and incites unimaginable horror.
Undeterred by ethics, Liminal-Neuro’s lead doctor makes it his mission to find her…”
Vocalist Noah Rich commented:
“‘while(True)’ is our most ambitious and personal release yet. Through the story of a failing medical technology company experimenting with dream manipulation, we explore themes of trauma, addiction, perception, and the unseen forces that shape the way we think. More than anything, this album represents our growth as writers. We challenged ourselves creatively, stopped following expectations, and made the record we truly wanted to make. We can’t wait for people to experience the world of ‘while(True)’ and find their own meaning within it.”
Guitarist Owen Miller continued:
“People will see things happening and choose not to do anything, because it’s easier than taking action. Developments like A.I. data centers deplete natural resources, but nobody seems to care. ‘The Veil’ represents this sort of selfishness. Even though the company Liminal Neuro promises to get rid of your fears and worries and empower you to become the person you want to be, the doctors are merely using everyone just to find ‘The Veil.’”
With this news, the group have also shared a music video for their new song “Swarm.ING_.” Rich added the following about that track:
“This song is about the feeling of something taking over your mind and feeding off of you, only to realize you are the thing that’s been consuming you. When this one started it felt like we tapped into a new, almost nu-metal direction for us, while still keeping that core Glasswaves sound.”
Polyphia will be releasing a new album, titled “BE NOT AFRAID,” on October 23. With this news, the band have also shared a music video for their new song “POWER IN THE BLOOD.”
“BE NOT AFRAID” Track Listing:
01. “LET THERE BE LIGHT“
02. “WITH EYES TO SEE“
03. “SCREWTAPE“
04. “POWER IN THE BLOOD“
05. “THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO“
06. “MARK OF THE BEAST“
07. “CAN YOU FEEL IT“
08. “NEAR DEATH“
09. “J-BOMB“
10. “DENY THE FLESH“
11. “DEVIL GET BEHIND ME“
12. “FEAR GOD“
Guitarist Tim Henson commented:
“Instead of going wide on ‘BE NOT AFRAID‘, we went as deep as we could. There are so many layers to pull back. Every time you listen to it, you’ll notice something new. Thematically, it’s by far the most meaningful record we’ve ever made.”
“The album takes you through the extremes of two different worlds / moods: one being very uplifting and triumphant, the other being spine-chilling and terrifying. There are moments on the record that legitimately scare me when I listen to them.”
“During the making of this record, we went down some pretty dark rabbit holes. We kept coming across things that were so depraved they sounded insane when you said them out loud. Then some of the very things we had been talking about started appearing in documents released to the public. You can read that stuff and feel disgusted, demoralized, and completely powerless.
‘BE NOT AFRAID‘ is our response to that. Rather than allowing the ugliness of the world to paralyze us, we put everything we had into making something beautiful. We weren’t afraid of whether something was too different or whether people were going to understand it. We just followed what excited us and made what I believe is our best record to date.”
Guitarist Scott LePage added:
“We physically can’t make the same album twice. We have a yearning to evolve. It was so much fun to write this one together too – the writing sessions for past Polyphia records typically looked like us gathering our ideas separately first and bringing them to each other second, so we took a different approach with ‘BE NOT AFRAID’ by treating the sessions like an opportunity to create with everybody in the room first before getting into the separate writing. It was a much more communal approach that led to us having so much fun making it that the fun itself was the magic being captured.”
