Web page loads, video does not.

^^^^ Same here. Found it on youtube though. Here's the link



I like the whole water concept...pretty sweet, and like others said, better than the warehouse.

 

[InCasinoOut]

finally found it on youtube since every other site that posted it seems to time out



watching it right now!

edit: DAMMIT!!!! beaten by a few minutes.

 

[right_to_rage]

Nice job, I also liked the water idea. I think it was a well done performance video, especially on a budget. The video isn't all about the visuals, remember to crank the volume to fully enjoy haha.

edit: the more I watch it and the louder I turn up the volume the better it gets!!!!!!!

sorry Im confused, how does a band become mainstream and start writing mainstream material when there still underground ? I mean misha and the rest of periphery have been posting songs on there soundclick years before they got signed. as far as the type of material they put out they've, from what I understanded, turned down several offers before sumerian even approached them and even still they pretty much sculpted the deal so that A) they owned there own material and B) had exclusive creative control so ya know what I do hope they get huge or at least big enough to make some money at it. everyone has this convoluted idea that when you get big you sell out but you know as well as I do that we would all like to do this for a living and that means selling records and selling out concerts.

ye, they're still underground. There's a bit of an misunderstanding here. What I mean when I say mainstream is that their sound as a whole is sounding more and more like todays popular metal bands (a sound that is not necessarily good ). I don't want periphery, a band with sooo much potential, to become metal by numbers. All I hear everywhere is how great they are and it don't seem as they get bad critique at all. I want to do my part to push it in the direction I want sounds selfish, but we all want to have the opportunity to influence one of our favorite bands and make them go the direction we want don't we?

Btw, Yes I really do hope they get so big that they can make a good living from it. I want more music, and that requires monnies

Dude, Icarus Lives was on soundclick literally years ago. Because today's trends have trended toward Periphery does not mean that Periphery are chasing trends. Light with vocals has been up for a long time as well, and it's in the same vein.

So what is it exactly you're expecting of them? To abandon the sound they've forged for themselves because the mainstream has started to accept bands like Periphery?

twas a cool video, but not what i expected at all. i loved how alex was just given 'er the whole time

We do not push our music in any direction other than the direction that WE want. That has always been, still is and will always be the case. You are free to express yourself, but know that you will not influence our direction any more than the next guy, and that if anyone has influenced our direction in the past it has been because artistically we agreed with them and took it upon ourselves to let in their critique, not because someone posted a comment on a forum somewhere expressing their opinion. So im sorry to disappoint you, but there never has been an opportunity to influence us, now maybe that comes off as selfish to you, but we have always made the music that WE wanted to hear for OURSELVES and if people dig it, then that is our icing on the cake!

 

[eventhetrees]

I just realized in the beginning when Alex leans over to turn up his amp....the amp isn't on, nor is anything plugged into it.... lol

After watching it in HD I like this video a lot, especially for being a low budget video it doesn't look cheap and it looks like something that should get air time!

 

[lctdmf]

It was a decent video, better than the thousands of warehouse music videos. Good job.

 

[Forresterc]

First, great low budget video. I feel like it could have done more with the water effects, instead of just using it as a "fog" effect around the band.

Second, at the beginning, from 16 till 24 seconds, it kinda looked crabcore, and i laughed.

 

[synrgy]

If there's another legitimate reason to make music out there somewhere, I'm all ears, but to me, what you just said is the only way music should be made.

Well said.

 

[Cheesebuiscut]

Bulb out of curiosity was the water edited on top of you guys or were there like cameras behind them and you taped it?


Oh and if anyone asks or complains I would just go with this because it plain sounds bad ass and informed

The water may be too do with the story of Icarus and Daedalus, when Icarus falls in to the sea after flying too close to the sun.

Its like saying *icarus lives* after falling into the sea, makes me picture a guy walking out from the ocean onto the shore heaps of water falling off em.


Anyways I enjoyed the music video regardless of the naysayers, ty for making it! Looking forward to the next

I'm confused as to why you're saying their sound is shifting more to the mainstream. Every song on the album has been up on Soundclick forever, some even with vocals. It's the same songs with a generally better mix

 

[DigiV]

Not a fan of this. Still can't understand why some people get hard over it. It's basically a Meshuggah cover band with a punk pop singer. lol.

 

[Necris]

I have never understood the mentality of some fans that makes them think they have a say in the musical direction of a band simply because they buy the Albums or like the music, it's absolutely baffling . If you aren't involved in the writing process you have no say whatsoever.

prepare for the neg rep bro. If you don't like it, you don't have to post such inflammatory remarks. Also, Meshuggah is awesome, and pop-punk is awesome.

Alex flexes and deems you untrue.

EDIT

and Taking back Sunday? Seriously, if Spence is similar to anybody, its Anthony Green from Circa Survive, but even then there is a clear difference.
