PolyShred is the electrifying collaboration between virtuoso guitarists Shred Sean (Sean Maier) and Thomas Polychuck, blending high-energy shred, cinematic prog, and melodic storytelling. The project fuses 80s-inspired nostalgia with cutting-edge modern production — think neon-lit synths, blazing solos, and riffs that hit like a movie soundtrack for the future.
Shred Sean, known for his expressive phrasing and technical command, first rose to international recognition with Blessed by a Broken Heart before carving his path as a solo instrumental artist. Thomas Polychuck, a Montreal-based guitarist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, brings a genre-bending approach that merges prog, fusion, and pop with precision and emotion.
Together, they formed PolyShred to push instrumental guitar into cinematic territory — bold, melodic, and visually inspired. Their debut single “Trail Blazers” marks the dawn of a new era for shred: futuristic, emotional, and undeniably powerful.
