Periphery Megathread: Everything Periphery

[Joose]

for the record I think he's a great singer, I just don't like his screaming. But for what it's worth, I don't like the screams of chris or casey either that much, though chris probably had the best one.

I like spencer's clean voice a lot, that's it, and even though I'm not a huge fan of the band, I do like them, and I generally like Periphery the most when there's clean singing going on, I think it sounds a lot better over such busy but still melodic music. that's all.

I'd say that's pretty understandable. I didn't like Chris' cleans, but I loved his screams. So, that on top of the music being awesome, made me listen. Hearing Spencer the first time, on "Light" was awesome. Good cleans are so much more important than good screams in my opinion.

Frak me! This song is gettin' played in between each song off "The Discovery" lol.

I think Spencer's class and seemingly has a monumental work ethic, which is fucking fantastic and inspiring. I thought he added a tonne of depth to Jetpacks (which was already a fantastic instrumental tune imo) and I honestly cannot wait for the second album which should see a load of input from him.

I never liked the straightforward (if I'm using the correct word) voice of Chris. He didn't add anything personal to the band. Just sayin'.

The two tracks he did are not an accurate representation of that guy's skill. In my opinion Chris is the absolute pinnacle of modern metal singers.

The scream 3 minutes in is....so fucking disgusting.

Word broseph. I respect Spencer so much, especially compared to past Periphery singers. Casey is the only singer I really cared for. Casey has immense talent (as does Spencer), but they're like comparing Apples to Tomatoes... Honestly though, I don't care for Chris much. Maybe it's partially due to what I've read about how he's a jerk and whatnot... If any of you haven't heard the new group he's in, Ever Forthright, I encourage you to check em out. I watched the guitarmessenger vid of their song Counter Shift and I was blown away... I don't like it as much with Chris' vocals over it though, haha.

... Why? I think it's a great climax in the song because it builds and builds until it hits a peak. At least, that's what I see and hear when I listen to Jetpacks and it comes to that point.

It's ok. I think we're allowed and I think they like the attention I was quite the fanboi when I saw them last week

 

[space frog]

arent you a famboy the moment you go see a show?

Hahaha. Yes.

I was also pretty damn impressed with how clear the guitars sounded last night too. I'm not sure if they were using the Mackie setup or not, but usually (by far) the most prominent thing you can hear in the mix is the kick drum at Station 4...and everything sounded really balanced.

 

[windu]

new frak track is tits!

btw not sure if anyone has seen this, got me a nice awesome good laugh haha

 

[JamesM]

I've never dug that dude's videos, I'm not sure why.

Ah I'm glad to hear that, you can thank our sound guy and our axefxs for that haha! We love both dearly! And yes we are using the mackie hd1221 wedges for personal monitoring and the hd1531 speakers for some stage sound for the front rows. Most consistent and awesome setup I have used yet!

 

[rug]

Yeah, it sounded killer, in a venue where that isn't usually the case. Well done!

April 8th is the second day of my adulthood! It's like a late birthday present for me from Periphery.
