Periphery Megathread: Everything Periphery

[JoeChugs]

Songs are great, really impressed and excited for release.

Love the guitar tones, can’t wait to find out what amps/models made it onto the record.

You better not be cheating on me bitch. Even if it's with Djent Jesus.

-2 points for not using "Djent Djesus"

I know this thread isn't for actually posting songs, but...

I dig it

great way to start 2023

 

[putnut77]

killer tunes and riffs.

Homeboy's looking like Bono's daughter.

 

[Masoo2]

Finally gave the two tracks a listen

Wildfire is easily one of the best songs Periphery has released since Juggernaut imo, an absolutely fantastic track. The layers <3 and ohhhh the Thordendal-style solo <3333

@bulb been playing Hades, have you
new tracks are great

Yeah haha, played a lot of Hades during session downtime!

I know people say we rip off meshuggah, but I did go full on thordendal rip off for that solo section haha. Just had fun with it.

Flagpole after school. To make it even, bring your band.

I thought the judge said you weren't allowed within 100 yards of any school?

It's blasphemy to play a solo like that on any guitar with a scale length less than 27".

 

[NoodleFace]

I dig the new stuff... fuckin nerds with perfect covers within a couple hours of release is both awesome and cringe at the same time. I think only Dream Theater has bigger nerds.

 

[bostjan]

I'm digging the new tracks.

Also loved how the guys went to go get refreshments during the piano solo in the video for Wildfire. That was entertaining.

[Ralyks]

They all ended up wherever they ended up, usually cut down to whatever feels right, we don’t really pay attention to song length, maybe we should?

Uh, no. If anything, bring back Racecar.

Wildfire is a great song, fantastic structure. I love the chorus it has an amazing vocal performance and great hook.

The songs got a bit of a The Dillinger Escape Low Feels BLVD vibe to it, you know what I mean.

 

[profwoot]

Hey Misha any reason why so many callbacks to Juggernaut specifically? Did some of these riffs start out as Jugg 2 material (inasmuch as that was ever a thing)?

Also, annual reminder that the obsessive anti-periphery dude likes Winger.

 

[Frostbite]

Nice to hear the Four Lights groove come back on Zagreus around 2:55 or so. Absolutely monster riff. Wildfire was a little odd at first. A lot happening, chrous was exactly that but was definitely catchy in an uneasy way. Cool vibes and I'm starting to like it the more I listen.

Anyone else think it's weird how many ideas are reused on these tracks from older songs?

I think it's great, it's like a touch of nostalgia especially when its elevated and displayed in a new context. You get this a lot in The Fragile by NIN, the same motif crops up in different songs each time with different instrumentation.

 

[Crungy]

@bulb is that the sexy sax man in the video? Like THE guy who'd play Careless Whisper?!

It's a little odd, I won't lie. Gives off a "we have run out of ideas" vibe. I doubt that's actually true, but I'll be curious to hear the rest of the album when it drops. Maybe these are just the playing it safe songs.
