I stumbled across a review of Polyphia‘s latest album, Renaissance (Equal Vision Records), in a recent issue of Outburn (they have a huge review section, including reviews of a broad range of albums). The reviewer wrote very highly of the group’s music, so off I went to YouTube to find a music video. The top search result was “Euphoria”, and I fell in love with it pretty much immediately:

Here, also from Renaissance, is the music video for “Nightmare”:

The band members are incredibly gifted. I highly recommend Renaissance to all fans of instrumental, rock and guitar-led music. Superb, and easily one of my favourites from the past 12 months.
