POLARITY is the 3rd full-length album by FAREWELL TO FEAR and first album release with Crusader Records. The title says it all. POLARITY pulls roots from a variety of rock genres giving the listener a rollercoaster ride throughout. Heavy, melodic, raw, nostalgic, thrash, gritty, emotional, angst and even modern could be used to describe this album.
The gloves came off when we started writing ‘Polarity’, no rules, no formula. We wrote what we felt and what moved us in the moment. Lyrically, the album draws on many emotions and feelings that we all have shared over the last crazy few years, and as true to form, a message of positivity and hope in the darkest of times." - Farwell to Fear

Brainwashed
Brainwashed, the anticipated new single from Farewell to Fear is as melodic and as heavy as they come! The track features heavy, grinding guitars and a thundering rhythm section, coupled with haunting, spine tingling vocal melodies that elicit the deepest of emotions.
Played Again
The third single at bat from Farewell to Fear is rightfully titled “Played Again”. Played Again takes the angst of all the experiences of feeling used and channels them into a fist pumping anthem. Slashing guitar riffs compounded with Craig’s Panera-esque vocals punish the listener. Crank this one and feel empowered.
If Tomorrow Never Comes
“If Tomorrow Never Comes” the latest single from Farewell to Fear hits home for all of us at one time or another. As we reflect back on our lives, we contemplate the choices we have made, the chances we didn’t take and the pain of regret. This hard-hitting anthem is a huge wake up call, we only have one life to live, let’s make it count!
Weight Of The World
Depression is real and “Weight of the World” touches on this reality for so many. This track is laden with emotion and energy.
Fall In Line
Fall in Line hits hard and gives the listener a taste of Thrash nostalgia drawing inspiration from Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeath and Death Angel. Heavy rhythm section and scorching guitars throughout!
Forgive It All
“Forgive it all” is a modern active rock anthem to all young rockers dealing with so much struggle today. Life is too short to hold grudges and be disappointed. FORGIVE, Live life and be happy.
Falling
Everyone falls victim to darkness and depression; ‘Falling’ delivers the message that you are not alone and this feeling won't last forever. The track features a powerful vocal melody, heavy riffs and duelling guitar harmonies on top of a thundering rhythm section with a slamming groove.
Crash And Burn
“Crash and burn” tackles the love vs hate we see in society today. As a collective, the choice is ultimately up to us to determine our outcome and unfortunately we have seen the scales tip in favor of hate. "Love is stronger than hate and we can certainly make the change."

ABOUT FAREWELL TO FEAR
Their first full-length album New Blood, produced by Brett Hestla (Creed, Dark New Day), generated an incredible three singles on Sirius XM’s Octane channel, a rare feat for an unknown band. As well as landing them at #1 on Amazon’s Hot New Rock Singles chart and #8 on iTunes Rock chart, their debut album also earned them direct support from Howard Stern, including the rarest of moments on Stern’s show… airing an entire song as opposed to the normal 20 second snippet he usually shares. That track, a cover of Rihanna's ‘Diamonds’, recently eclipsed 2.5 million streams on Spotify.
Inspired by the overwhelming success of New Blood, FARWELL TO FEAR released the Legacy EP, allowing them to seamlessly merge their skills and styles together to create heavy rock songs that deliver a strong punch to the gut, while staying melodic and delivering impactful lyrics hitting all ranges and octaves.
Shortly following Legacy, the band released their Voices album. Voices was produced by Damien Starkey (Burn Season & Puddle of Mudd) and elevated the bands' sound to a new level. Expect no stone unturned with this album! The highly anticipated single 'Underneath my Skin' landed at #29 on the Billboard Rock Indicator charts. The single sent a powerful sucker-punch with its message of love and obsession. It moves as an emotional gut-wrenching song that will inspire the devil within.
The band wasted no time spreading their new sound with the masses at various rock festivals, touring with artists such as Fozzy, Like A Storm, Palisades and Flaw throughout North America and Canada, including joining Chris Jericho/Fozzy and friends performing on the 'Rockin and Wrestling Rager at Sea' cruise.
Staying true to form, FAREWELL TO FEAR immediately went back into the studio amidst the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to release the ever timely single 'I Won't Be Your Tragedy' which quickly shot to #21 on the Billboard Rock Indicator chart and eclipsed over 100K streams on Spotify in 3 months.
FAREWELL TO FEAR is set for an explosive 2022 and has already been invited to perform at the Rebel Rock Festival in Orlando, with Five Finger Death Punch, Limp Bizkit, I Prevail, Sevendust and many more!
