Instrumental rock hybridists
Polyphia continue to push their sound into ever more far-reaching areas with their third full-length album, 2018's
New Levels New Devils. The album follows up the equally progressive 2016 effort
Renaissance and genre-bending 2017 EP
The Most Hated, both of which featured more forays into pop and R&B. Produced in collaboration with Y2K and Judge,
New Levels New Devils finds
Polyphia embracing yet more cross-pollinated sounds including hip-hop, electronic, and, as always, their own brand of sophisticated metal. Joining them are guest guitarists Mateus Asato and
Jason Richardson, as well as Erick Hansel and Mario Camarena from
Chon, Yvette Young from Covet, and more. Included on the album are the tracks "O.D.," "G.O.A.T.," and "Yas." ~ Matt Collar
