Periphery Megathread: Everything Periphery

[Fat-Elf]

Wow, just wow. First listen behind and that was mindblowing. I didn't think I could be anymore excited about the new album but now I just feel like running laps until the album is released.

Btw, were the main lead played on synth in the chorus? Because that's what it sounded. Even though I saw Nolly play it with the guitar in the studio updates, I'm not sure.

 

[Slunk Dragon]

Holy shit, that new single is absolutely astounding!

 

[Maggai]

I think Spencer really just sounds like Spencer. Just better than ever.

This single is so amazing, and im loving the heck out of the low end and especially the vocals! The thing has a whole different vibe to it, that weren't that present on the self titled album. This just ties it all together, and its easy to hear that it was a collaborative effort to make this single (album).

Dis es nies!

So, I was actually about ready to start defending Periphery from the detractors before I even heard the song, just because I am such a big fan of them as musicians and people, but I decided to wait until I had a chance to listen to the song through high quality headphones.

As I listened, I was actually blown away at just how great it sounded! Spencer's vocals are not only more professional sounding, but are just absolutely crushing and massive, and the musicianship is top notch. I really, truly like the song, and not just from a somewhat fan boyish perspective. I can't wait for the album .

Great freakin' track. Had it on repeat for the last 30 mins or so while I wait for my running partner to turn up. Love the main riff, absolute PHILTH

We actually spent a lot of time leveling, and i would say that the only place where the vocals tend to jump out over the mix would be on laptop speakers, especially unibody macbook pros (basically anything that is really midrangy), so i'd highly recommend listening on a nice set of headphones or speakers to get the full experience!

Yep! My 17 inch macbookpro made the vocals and drums dominant. Headphones and my car sound tits. Strong work.

This kid fucking sucks

I prefer Spencer's old vocals comapare to his new ones to be honest. Hopefully they'll grow on me.

 

[cronux]

the thing about Periphery for me is that I never could get pass the vocals...

instrument wise, the new track is really great - shows you really grew as a band and I like the production as well. waiting to hear the whole album

question: would you ever consider asking Jens (Meshuggah) to be a guest singer on one track? That would be interesting

 

[Sebski]

Gets better on every listen, but is there anywhere from the UK I can buy the single??

Hahaha. Why would you want his boring monotone voice to flatten all the dynamics of a periphery song?

well... it could be interesting

 

[Valennic]

Well he DID say he was gonna try to get Dave Grohl for the next album....maybe in the future we can see a mess of guest vocalists? I think it'd be awesome to see Joe Duplantier on a Periphery track. But that's just because I'm a Gojira fanboy, and IMO anything Joe puts his voice over is automatic gold.

Also have the new track on repeat. I'm in love with this. I remember one of the vocal lines from an update a while ago, and it was stuck in my head for months, and here it is again.

how is this even possible...

new song is way busier than what I like listening to these days but it kicks ass anyway

 

[ROAR]

I HAVE AN OPINION CHECK IT OUT

 

[slumber_party]

Love the song. Vocals have improved vastly.

 

[gatesofcarnage]

Digging the ultra fuck out of Spencer on this. Also is anyone else stoked for Froggin Bullfish??

 

[the hittmann]

I can't wait for scarlet, its so groovin.

Looking forward to the album as a whole, but Froggin Bullfish is the highlight for me as of right now.

Whatever track is at 0:04 of this update is seriously pumping me up, the groove is ridiculous. I like the harmonic pick slide also.

What song is that if any band member can chime in?
