Double album AND coming to Charlotte right before I probably move? That's some pretty spectacular news right there. I can go to bed at peace now.

IIRC, it was originally meant to be a double album, but then they went on the Dream Theater tour and thought they might have to sacrifice some material. Glad to hear that's not the case.

Apparently release date is Jan 27th!

PERIPHERY to Release "Juggernaut: Alpha" and "Juggernaut: Omega" on January 27th - Prog Sphere

Seeing the Jan 17th show in Houston, moving to Denver, seeing the show on the 31st lol.
Win!
Extremely excited to hear both albums front to back, methinks it'll be epic.

Lucky dog!

I hope I can see them next year. I was going to see them when they came through to Lansing on the last tour, but I'm so damn low on money I couldn't afford to see them then.

Totally stoked to hear two new albums of Periphery music, though!

Waiting for preorders! Ahhhh

You in CLT Joose? My and my girlfriend are trying to decide between the opening Cat's Cradle show and the Filmore date...

Yessir, for now at least. Fillmore is a pretty nice venue from what I've heard.

It's great! Super organized and efficient, clean, good lines of sight pretty much everywhere in the room, sound system is top notch (never needed earplugs, even with BTBAM, Devin Townsend, Deftones)... my girlfriend calls in "the Starbucks of live venues"!

Probably hit that one... the new Cat's Cradle is basically a concrete box, but more importantly, I work til 6 that day and wouldn't make it on time! So most likely Charlotte for us!

Sounds like the perfect venue for a band as flawless as Periphery then!

Oh, January... you're too far away.

We wanted to have two discs but not force people getting physical copies to get both at once if they didn't want to. Also with it being a long album we wanted people to digest it properly and felt that if it was part of a double album the second half might have less importance than the first. Finally being able to have separate artwork for each half and not having to do one of those bulky double disc cases (which brick and mortar stores are not big fans of stocking) or one of those flimsy slim double cases was much more enticing to us.

Pre-orders are going to be for both discs though, correct? I'm curious to see how you've worked all that out with all the various artwork and all that typically goes along with pre-orders.

I think they said there would be preorders for each album, and preorders for both together.

Personally I think preorders might make more sense as a bundle since those cater to the more loyal fanbase and those people will likely want both albums, but keeping it separate after release will be good for casual fans. Ultimately we will figure it out with our management and label.

Every time new Periphery comes out, someone comes in and makes that joke.
