RIP Ryan Siew

2023-06-27 by bellovddd | 29 Comments
The Australian Metal scene has lost an amazing talent, Ryan Siew guitarist of Polaris has passed away.

Ryan came to prominence by posting guitar cover videos on YouTube. Ryan joined Polaris in 2013 and released one EP and two albums, with a new album set to be released September 1st.

The band released a statement this morning on their Socials:

It is with shattered hearts & the deepest sorrow that we tell you our dear brother and bandmate Ryan Siew passed away on the morning of Monday June 19. He was 26 years old, and for 10 incredible years he was our best friend and artistic soulmate. Those years will never be enough.

A very sad day for not only the Australian Metal community but the whole Metal Community as we have lost a one of a kind talent.

RIP Ryan.

spent hours watching him when i was trying to learn meddler in middle school, dude always seemed a few steps ahead and gradually took off, felt pretty validated having someone my age who was into the same stuff with the confidence to just toss his covers into the internet void. really jarring going back to this in light of the news, dude had his whole life ahead of him

Damn. This sucks. He wasn't with them on their current tour already. Can't do anything but wish them and his family and friends all the strength in the world to make it though this toughest of times.

Another thing: We don't know if it was suicide, but since the Werther-effect exists - if you're thinking about suicide, please get help. We want you alive. No matter where you are there is a suicide hotline you can call for immediate help. Reach out, make it through this

Reviewed Dichotomy for a website that doesn't exist anymore back when it dropped and immediately thought they'd get big in the scene. Glad they did and glad he got to see some of the success it seems he deserved. RIP

This is such a bummer. Talented guitarist and seemed like a really cool person when I met him at a show here (the whole band did tho).

Followed Ryan for over 10 years on Youtube. Was incredibly talented and definitely felt like he had a bright future ahead of him. RIP.
