Check out the Origins stream below featuring Tim Henson guitarist Polyphia and Trivium frontman Matt Heafy. In this interview, Tim dives deep into his culture and his outlook moving forward, as he looks towards Polyphia's and his own future.
Henson on the Justin Bieber song that Inspired Polyphia:
"I remember Justin Bieber's song, the one that's like, 'My mama don't like you, and she likes everyone...'; that one. It's so simple. It's just him and the guitar, yet it's such a great song. It's just in its most simplistic form, and I was like, 'Dude, we got all these billions of layers and shit. What if we made it stand on its own?' And so we did that, and then added billions of layers after that."

Since their formation in Plano, Texas in 2010, Polyphia have made a name for themselves by blending intricate guitar riffs with hip-hop rhythms, bass-heavy trap music, and progressive metal & rock influences.
With three celebrated studio albums - Muse (2014), Renaissance (2016), New Levels New Devils (2018) - as well as two EPs and a handful of singles under their belt, Polyphia raised the game yet again with their new and fourth studio album, Remember That You Will Die, which was released in October last year featuring collaborations with $not, Chino Moreno (Deftones), Brasstracks, Steve Vai and more.
Polyphia released the "Ego Death" single from their new album, Remember That You Will Die, in September 2022. “Ego Death” features Grammy Award-winning guitar virtuoso and composer Steve Vai, most known for his work with Frank Zappa, Motörhead, Alice Cooper, and many more. Grammy Award-winning producer and trumpet player Brasstracks also appears on the track.
