Artist: Periphery
Album: Periphery V: Djent Is Not A Genre
Genre: Djent
Haha nice
One of my favorite bands! Can't wait for album. Love Spencer's vocals.
We must be some of the few people that like Spencer's vocals ....I see alot negative comments about his vocals....
I think Spencer is a one in a million.
Even the lyrics are always dope!
@@shawnmasilela1519 Spencer is polarizing. He's literally one of the best and most amazing, which is the very reason for his praise and his hate. Anyone who is a vocalist can recognize that he is definitely one of the best.
Im with you all the way
@@bryceoconnor3927 well, primarily why he gets hate is mainly due to his way of singing like a pop artist
A style I love, but am not surprised a lot of metal listeners (and djent listeners) hate.
@@bryceoconnor3927 people talk shit about him because he used to be really nasal and his tone is very poppy, but its undeniable that the dude can sing literally whatever he wants, from lower notes to really high notes, singing screams, high and low screams, gutturals, dude is definitely one of the most complete singer in metal
periphery is my all-time favorite band. The guys are all insanely talented. Every song is so different and has its own elements.
Very cool for you to react to this.
Me too. The fact that the whole chorus is literally just The Event from juggernaut literally floored me.
@@Wiznarskiyeah man, I didn't get into the Juggernauts until after listening the sht out of P5 and I love the connections and references between the three records. I guess you could call it musical world building.
to reference Misha, they all don't like playing guitar solos especially since they have to play them live lol. they usually would rather let things be instrumental or have vocal parts. But if something really calls for a solo, they all have a very distinct sound to their soloing (Misha's proggier Meshuggahy scales and runs, Mark's liquidy slidey jumpy style, or Jake's super clean and melodic phrasings), so they can usually easily decide which fits the song/part best!
it's funny that Misha has a solo on their first new single because he was the one saying he never wants to play a solo again after the last album
Funny because the whole first album had solos everywhere so Misha must've loved writing them lol
@@MrFRNTIK I remember Misha talking about the Icarus lives solo once, and how he botched it live once even after playing it a thousand times.. that’s probably one of the many reasons why he Dosent like putting them in haha.
@@ericswearingenmusic9967 ya I guess if they want every show to be perfect. I think even if there's a slip up it's still awesome either way.
@@MrFRNTIK oh absolutely. But we all know how much perfection people demand now. One missed note, or one pitchy vocal performance and the internet will eat you alive… people are so used to hearing perfect takes on albums and can’t believe what music really sounds like live
@@ericswearingenmusic9967 this is basically why I'm drifting away from a tonne of modern metal bands lately. Despite the fact compositionally they are all writing incredible music, it's literally impossible to play with out being able to control every little detail like you can in a production process. As you said so many people think that all this perfect music is possible 100 percent of the time and it simply isn't.
Love Djent. My favorite genre
Djent is not a genre!
Djenre
@@Wrathchild6803 Djent is a genre. Look up Vildhjarta. Djent is also a sub genre of Progressive Metal. Just look up Djent
You sonofab
@@Wrathchild6803 …it’s a lifestyle!
That solo section is devastating. I’ve always loved the apparent Meshuggah influence in their music
Thats what I was just thinking. Those very ambient and dissonant solos with very disconnected lead parts. Definitely meshuggah inspired but I love that!
After listening to it I felt injured
It's not only apparent. Misha says he is Meshuggah's #1 fan.
All djent comes from meshuggah.
That's how good they are, they can quote Meshuggah without it seeming like rip off or gimmick.
Periphery really has us jumping into an elevator mid-song and I love it.
I love periphery solos because its not about the technicality of it and is purely based on note choice. Melody over everything
Herman having his guitar always ready makes it seem like he’s just ready to jam with some buddies 😊
One of the best choruses in metal songs lately! Brilliant!
The formula is there is no formula. So much time for all of their recent stuff. Quality control is immense.
Letter experiment and Icarus lives are still up there on my playlist after all these years , periphery is still bringing it , an amazing Band. 🤙
Letter Experiment is incredible! I hardly see it mentioned 👌😮💨
@@ryanshreevedrums I think it's due to the fact that people simply don't know that album at all. New fans
Why am i just now hearing this band? Theyre awsome. Ill admit i havent been keeping up with any videos from anyone tho so i mightve missed something.
Oh boy if this is the first you're hearing of Periphery then you have all sorts of fun ahead of you digging into the back catalogue.
@@RedbeardMaximus for real, I absolutely love periphery. The first song of theirs I ever heard was Reptile, and after that I was hooked lol
been a fan since 2010, I'm excited for you since you have about 15 years of Periphery to look back upon LOL
like 8 albums or something (Periphery 1, 2, Clear, Alpha/Omega, 3, 4, 5 or something)
Periphery II was my favorite album, lots of lovely moments in that album. Have a Blast (insane! has Guthrie Govan and violins on it), Luck as a Constant, and The Gods Must Be Crazy! are my favorite songs off that album
welcome to periphery!!!
@@caixiuying8901 popular opinion probably, but the last minute of Omega (the song) permanently fused the albums and it’s an incredible moment. It’s hard for me to consider them two separate albums at this point.
Herman your insights are spot on. Fans know the band always does their own thing and we love it. It's fun to join them for the ride. You must be told though... you gut punched us all with that break you timed right in the mid of Spencers ripping it up...
Periphery obviously has some serious work ethic...this song is fire for sure....loved the unexpected changes at the end...it actually reminded me of Ola Englund's solo album, where a sax comes in toward the end of a tune and is just beautiful...also Misha's solo seems an homage to a Fredrick Thorndall solo....loved that...I have tried to learn some meshuggah solos and my brain got fried...
It's good that you have been introduced in the modern metal/core/djent generes and It would be interesting that you could implement those new influences on Dragonforce's music. Mixing some of both worlds, the classic influence from power metal and the new kind of riffs, dissonances, breakdowns from modern things similar as you did in The Game.
A lot of people would hate it but honestly I’m very interested
@@gub4941 metal elitists hate any modern metal or things that aren't grindcore it seems
@@gub4941 I honestly think people would be pretty excited about a Dragonforce breakdown lol. I can already see the thumbnails
really doubt it'd ever happen
not hating, been a dragonforce fan just as long as I had been into the modern, core, and djent stuff (2010 exactly)
not really into either nowadays, but there's a 1% chance they'd actually borrow core influences
@@spiritboxyxbox metal elitists also don't shower or really interact with the rest of society, so why would anyone care about their ignorant opinions?
I think they totally fight for who doesn’t have to do the guitar solo. “Mark and Misha, it’s your song so you two figure out a guitar solo. I’ll do 8 bars max, if I have to”
Djent is truly one of the genres of all time
It isn't even that.
Preach! When Spencer screamed "It's djentin' time" and started to djent all over the place, I almost died from joy.
I like your reactions because you actually have some idea of what is happening. Great stuff. Periphery is great also.
After all this time Plini ripping off Periphery (his words), Periphery listened to Plini's last album and thought, we gotta have a sax solo.
I wouldn't say periphery got inspired by plini for the sax part, Misha and Mark have experimented with sax since their Haunted Shores album, Viscera.
Plini and periphery are great friends 😂
@@spiritboxyxbox I know, I'm taking the piss 😂
periphery always dabbles with the cool stuff like ghost notes every since icarus album always delivers
they've been releasing great albums over the years, always evolving. I love these guys, it's a pleasure to see what they've been up to
I love Periphery and I'm so happy you gave your perspective as a fan but also as a musician (and one who knows the industry). I'm glad Periphery does what they want and that they're able to. And Wildfire is a jam!
I do want to also say, and you mentioned it too, their composition/arrangements and overall penchant for getting what they want is incredible.
Nice video, thank you Herman!
Love Periphery, one of the good guys for sure
Love the new songs and look forward to March 10th when the full album is released.
more of this content please!
I find songs like this to be very refreshing. Songs that follow trends and the basics for guaranteed success are not bad, but hearing a song that just doesn't give a f*ck is nice. No lie I would listen to that mid jazz bit as a standalone song lol.
Thank , you made me listen all the song whit your description at start that they just do what they want and whit all the song we could find something great in this
Love this band, follow them since the first album. Energetic af.
My favourite band!
This is actually rlly good usually don’t like scream metal rock but this 🔥 bro the jazz part bro that’s sick out of the ordinary is crazy to
You probably want to check out Periphery 3 and 4, they have some more chill songs on those albums mixed in with their crazier stuff.
@@opliko bet
You'd fuckin love Leprous man, hardly any screams and just as technically skilled as Periphery, I'd argue they're more creative and unique as songwriters too. I'd start with Bonneville and the drum playthrough of Illuminate
Love these guy's
Oooo I get to see these guys in less than a month!!!!!
Herman you do the justice on the comment. Thats really nice review
This is my favorite band because of how unique and talented they are.
Great song for sure. I'm digging it. Their other single they just released is fire also
This song smokes everything else out of the water right now
Damn cool!!
It has a "Blagh!". I'm sold.
That guitar solo was very Meshuggah like.
I was lucky enough to see Periphery about two months before full on lockdowns from covid. Hearing Spencer live was like...holy shit! That dude can fucking belt out some vocals. If somebody thinks he only sounds that good in a studio...you are wrong. He's insane! The rest of the band was phenomenal as well. It did suck not having a live bassist though.
Similar story except it was Devin muthaphuckkin Townsend, HOLY SHIT!
Anyway yes I've seen Periphery maybe 3 or 4 times over the years and Sponce has never disappointed!
Me too! I saw them in atlanta in february of 2020, the day before Spencer got laryngitis. It was an insane concert, they could have just done Reptile and it would have been an amazing show.
saw them in 2019 in são paulo and it was one of if not the best night of my life, i had my best friend with me and the concert was incredible, spencer was flawless, everyone in the band was perfect, i can't wait for them to come here again
I did not see the sax coming. Nice.
periphery mastodon meshuggah nuance is the game they all have progressive down to a science and all them have their own variety.
Great song
Music business is kinda like the devil.. hit the nail right on the head man. Keep rocking! 🤘🏻
Up until the heavy 1:30 break it reminds me of Every Time I Die.
Thats indeed prog for ya 🤘🏾
they always release gold🤟🔥🎸🤟🔥the production and sound of the guitars sound incredible!🎸🤟🔥🎸🤟I've been a fan of them since before they picked up Spencer on vocals🤟he's a great vocalist & overall humble guy,I managed to meet them at a small venue & none of them had an ego or didn't walk away from me when I wanted to chat as a true fan of them for years😎all of them are cool humble guys that love their fans👍😎herman you should totally do a guest solo on their next album man🤟🔥🎸😎
Hey Herman!
Herman’s got an entire guitar center in his home studio. Absolute dream.
That room looks like the dopest guitar center showroom in the world.
The thing about these guys, the three guitarists all bring a different style to the table. Adam and Matt are just monsters and add so much to the music. The style of the solo in that song reminded me of some of Meshugga's work on the album "Nothing".
I agree with you.
Today there is another new one with trippy visuals
This is what good music should make you feel. It should take you on a rollercoaster of emotions. Part of the reason I like Dragonforce and Periphery. They make you feel a certain type of way.
Herman Li saying your music is cool is the highest compliment
you gotta do a cover
hope he tries to listen the other track as well
I agree.
Omg i♡ Periphery (╥﹏╥)
Hey Herman, are you also waiting for Starfield and TES6 to be released?
We reach new heighhhttsssssss
Herman Lee is the cool boomer uncle I wish I had.
now after the burial XD
Want to hear that solo played backwards.
Meshuggahristic solo
If you’re interested in something more speedy, check out Perpetual Windburn by Haunted Shores. It’s a side project by Mark & Misha
I think he could angry his way through a brick wall!
Periphery’s best album in ages in my view.
Idk how they go about writing solos, as for live performances, ive seen them play rock, paper, scissors right before the solo
I started my journey at metal by listening to every single DragonForce album at the time. Then my taste kept evolving, as I now also love djent. Its funny watching my former genre and my present being kind of collided
They knew wild fire would be the best banger of the year. And they released it in January.
I love this fucking tune...do you understand?
Check out indistinct if you like djent!
Guitar centre reacts to periphery
Honestly, they sound better off of Sumerian Records.
Who needs coffee when you've got the intro to Wildfire?
👍🤘🫂🙏🙌
They're just Paired with Furry! Love them!
DJENT DJENT DJENT EEEEEEE DJENT DJENT EEEEEE
The sax solo stops everyone in their tracks 😂
They fight NOT to do guitar solos haha.
Please reaction to Alip ba ta-semoga original song by him i hope you reaction
I believe djent even originated from Misha / Periphery way back
Misha was -and is- a huge Meshuggah fan. Meshuggah has the title for the ‘djent originators’, However, Periphery has taken that torch (here and there) and ran to sagittarius A*. But I would like to say that Periphery helped popularize the sound of the ‘genre’. There is no question the impact Periphery has had -and still has- on ‘their’ genre. I always get inspired by listening to new stuff from Periphery, they are innovators and truly unique.
@@Guitariac definitely one of a kind and insanely talented. I love all their work.
2:50 "the innovator of this subgenre of metal... it's not djent, it's something!" lol at this point anyone debating whether djent is a genre, including Periphery themselves, is just hung up on the etymology of the word, that it's an onomatopoeia of a palm muted power chord. but thanks to the way language evolves, onomatopoeias have and do serve as the names of genres. see: ska and beebop.
Good, take it so high that it leaves Earth's orbit 🤭
Man I wish I could stand the clean vocals.
To be honest it doesn't really seem like "new heights" this is just the same heights. Good song, but nothing different or groundbreaking.
The solo hasn't a single not on the scale, it's not that easy listening or something you'd play your first day. Where's the shitty strat one hundred twenty years before Bon Jovi?! Namastè.
This one actually feels like the periphery I like. Listened to the last album like once or twice and was done with it.
I felt like everything sandwiched between Periphery II and IV was just meh
Clear, Alpha, Omega, III, IV, whatever else they might have written, I just forgot about it
PI was so foundational that I can't blame them for mostly just having cool sections rather than coherent songs, but PII had always remained my most "complete" periphery album
V seems like I might enjoy it though, sounds like an evenly balanced combination of every album they've released previously, not even in a bad way
It's not a genre!
totally copied a meshuaggah solo
Just sounds like a Dillinger cover band heavily ripping from Chaosphere era Meshuggah
It’s true they have similar qualities but neither of those bands have nearly as much of an emphasis on melody as periphery does. I know it’s the meme to say they’re a meshuggah ripoff but that just couldn’t be further from the truth.
Yeah but no. Way to sound totally biased and ignorant.
Bro it's the same shit it was 15 years afo. Nothing has been taken to any heights. Its just regurgitation at this point. Djent was the trap/soundcloudrap of metal and its kinda tiresome at this point. How many chuggachugga breakdown riffs as intros can you really listen to?
The solo was great, super interesting.
Don't really care much about the rest of the song though.
I thought Djent died in 2015, Idk about anyone else.
This music has nothing to do with art. That's why I listen to Speed Metal, which has its own musical qualities.
lol
It’s a shame that periphery has gotten so predictable. The first two albums were such classics and now everything sounds pretty much the same.
I disagree, the juggernauts sounded very different from p1 and p2, p3 did feel like periphery going back to their roots, but p4 also sounded very different. So I'm excited to see what p5 is going to bring
I think Periphery 3 was good too, but you're right, they have yet to outdo themselves since Periphery 2
yeah because you knew there would be a jazz break down huh?
@@-vrazr-4177 lmao do you play music? No? I didn’t think so
@@disintegratesintobinary655 that’s fair
I was expecting something else by the title, but meh! sounds so 2012, nothing new
