POLARIZATION Signs With MEDIASKARE RECORDS

March 20, 2012

Los Angeles-based instrumental progressive metal trio POLARIZATION has inked a deal with Mediaskare Records. The band's debut album, "Chasing The Light", will be released in the spring.

The brainchild of guitarist and songwriter Prashant Mathias, POLARIZATION came together a year and a half ago when Mathias moved here from his native India to attend Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. "It's a big step for the band and for me personally," he states. "I came here two years ago as a scholarship student for MI. I've already achieved the first of many goals by signing a record deal with a label I respect — especially [because they have] bands like VOLUMES and EXOTIC ANIMAL PETTING ZOO."

POLARIZATION's lineup is rounded out by drummer and fellow MI student Tom Asvold, a Swedish transplant, as well as bassist Steve Hilson. They've carved a name and niche for themselves with a heady mix of progressive musical ideas, straightforward metal riffs, free jazz and pulsing electronica that has coalesced into a sound that is uniquely their own.

To date, POLARIZATION has shared stages with ANIMALS AS LEADERS, FAIR TO MIDLAND and PRONG, among others. They will play next on Thursday, March 22 alongside PRONG, BLACK TUSK, IT'S CASUAL and EARLY MAN.
