Periphery - "Icarus Lives!" with Casey's vocals posted!

[FoxZero]

Fuck all, I think Sentient 6 is one of the greatest songs in metal ever, from concept, to lyrics, to musical content... it just is fucking SWELL.

@Metal Ken, yeah the screamer stuf just wasn't my thing. I grew up listening to alt rock so I just could never get into it no matter how hard I tried. There are some exceptions though, like Jens Kidman and that guy from Devil Driver.

Downspell has some cool vocals if you've heard of em. Really insane death metal, I love them.

@Blexican, yeah sorry, I really steered this off course!

 

[The Dark Wolf]

Eh, it's all good. 10 pages about Blub is enough, I say. Time to see where the spirit takes us.

 

[Blexican]

It's all good dudes, just joshin' ya.

 

[FoxZero]

Yeah Bulb's threads are always loaded with replies.

But at least I'm glad some people see my point

 

[Kakaka]

Listening to it for the second time after a while without listening to the older version now made me like Casey's version a lot.

Triple thumb up for it!

 

[JPMDan]

new vocals are ok, need a few more listens to get used to it. Highly prefer the instrumental version.

 

[WarriorOfMetal]

Is he still living in Boston or has he moved down to where you guys are now?

still in boston....as i recall, he'd signed a lease on a new place up here right before he was asked to join Periphery, so it wasn't really an option to move down to DC yet. i was just over at his place yesterday, it's pretty sweet, can't say i blame him for wanting to stay here

 

[mustang-monk]

i like both versions. finally got to listen to it through good headphones n yeah it sounds awesome. the bit at the ends a bit unneccesary but really like the new singers vocals

I dont like Devil Driver that much, and Jens was always my least favorite part of meshuggah


See, i didnt like it at first either. Shit, i only listened to power metal for about a year or 2. Then i edged into thrash and children of bodom (Before HCDR even came out). After THAT, i actually grew to like the style of vocals a lot.

But as far as sentient 6 goes, its the only song i skip on TGE. Psalm of Lydia owns ALL though.

 

[The Dark Wolf]

Bleah.

Sentient 6 is my favorite song on TGE. God, that song is so blissfully and wonderfully amazing.


Whippersnappers.

 

[sakeido]

I hate to say it but I really prefer the old version. I've been listening to it once or twice a day for the past three weeks and I haven't grown to like the vocals at all. The stuff he did for Juggernaut was way better.

Icarus Lives is part of Juggernaut.

 

[eleven59]

Icarus Lives is part of Juggernaut.

Seriously? That's even better!

 

[Randy]

Listen to Serious Business and everything will be alright.

That song fucking rules.

 

[sakeido]

Icarus Lives is part of Juggernaut.

Well I didn't know that. The vocals might flow better then, but as it sits, I think the vocals in this song sounded intentionally weird while the ones in the "new juggies clip" were still perfectly unique and suited the song ten times better.

 

[Crazy German]

Hes got a great voice, as a singer i prefer him over the previous one, style wise i think it matches quite well with the quite acoustic parts where he is singing but he should growl more durring the heavier part just to set it off more.

 

[Allexi]

The older was the way better...(((

 

[neon_black88]

I dont really have any comment on the vocals besides Id like to hear some more aggressive parts, but who am I to complain, you guys are still the most talented un-signed band I've ever heard.

And Warrel Dane and Nevermore kick-arse period. TBH I never liked Warrell Dane in the beggining either, but now I could not hear Nevermore in my head with any other vocals.

 

[Espaul]

But the question is... that is casey's normal voice at the end right?

 

[Chris Feener]

It took me a few listens to get used to the new Icarus, but It's possibly one of my favorite songs of all time now.

GRAVITY IS JUST A FEEBLE PLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

That part absolutely fucking kicks my ass. I always have to rewind.

His screaming voice is identifiably THE scream I wanna be able to do some day - loads of grit, not too death metally, and he can go from intensely high ranged stuff to ass-rapingly low-pitched growls in the matter of seconds.
