Lyrics:
The prosthetic limbs of social norms are beating us today
The burdens we all must hide, or pay for it
Transgressions aside
Be a martyr for life and everything will be fucking fine
Transgressions aside
Having the time of our lives
Now pay for it and you’ll savor every last drop
Two as one
Fodder for the slaughterhouse
Quartered on the killing floor
You and I are searching for something beyond this social condition
Fill the ballot and give our permission
Over and over
Again and again
Sort your condition
Get down with submission
Searching for something beyond this social condition
Cast your vote and then move aside
Tradition of submission starting from the womb
You better watch what you say
They always know what’s best though
Conditioned by their vision
Sinking in our tombs
The pressure is always there
We know… they want what’s best though
Of course they do
I think it’s time to stop pointing fingers and start looking inward
Measure the cases ‘cause it’s not right just to generalize
Start staring down your life and maybe you’ll see things much clearer
Imploring what’s down in your mind to make an appearance
Sort your condition
Throw it in remission
Throw it aside
(Solo: Bowen)
Will it ever be?
Will we ever live in honesty?
‘Cause we’re falling apart, you and I
Will it ever be?
Will we ever live another day in honesty?
‘Cause we’re falling apart, right from the start, you and I
So paint that picture to sleep at night
No regard for another’s life
We'll be just fine, you and I - Hudba
Thanks guys, so glad to finally be putting some new music out, and I hope you enjoy!
Special nod to Supergiant and Darren Korb for their amazing work on Hades, which distracted us from working on P5. Seriously the album would have been out way sooner, like years sooner but had to get that 32 Heat run you know?
It's beautiful 😭 nonstop goosebumps.
I literally shat my pants when I heard the Hades motif
So what I'm hearing is you guys were so enthralled by Hades that Juggernauts themes needed some revisitation?
Absolutely awesome songs man I can't wait for the album 🔥
Hades is great, I dont blame you lol
Happy International “I need to fix my guitar tone” Day, everyone!
Haha of course you're here already (;
@@KeenanBreese mate I’m in Australia, I’ve technically been here since 14 hours ago
They sound gross as hell.. Very nice tones..
@@KeyanHoushmandLive That's one of the best parts about our part of the world. I've already listened to both songs like 10 times haha
@@ChrisFranklynn as of right now that’s ~0.75 plays per hour. Hate to break it to ya but that’s rookie numbers mate, let’s bump those up
that little datail at 1:41 when spencer says "cast your vote and then move aside" and the word "aside" shifts to the left ear
i hated this at the beginning but it has really grown on me
You never know what you're gonna get from a Periphery song. "This song is about dealing with grief, this is about the effects of bullying, this one is about a stoner who fights aliens, this one is about the plight of indigenous people, this one is a nod to our favorite video game..."
I thought the stoner one was about a stoner thinking that lizard people were invading earth? (Reptile)
@@HugoStiglitz88 that’s what I thought it was about. Satellites off that album completely caught me off guard with the “suck my balls” at the end😂
@@HugoStiglitz88 and then the aliens killing everyone and making a new world order? That song is imo one of the greatest ever made
"This one is about the earth asking humans to not destroy it, and humans responded with 'suck my balls'"
Are you referring to Ji as the song about the plight of indigenous people?
djent is a djenre
and a lifestyle
All djents are djenres, but not all djenres are djents
@@Zzzeeeeeeeee Not the djenre we needed, but the djenre we djeserved.
A SUBdjenre at best
Don’t you see that by calling it NOT a genre, it becomes much more expansive? An element that can be in just about anything
The nod to the “Hades” video game soundtrack at 6:57 Is just amazing 🤩
As soon as I heard that first chord I was like oh shit so they're doing that haha
I love it ❤️
@@JackVGM Same ! Chills all around
That explains the song title aswell hahaha
ive played that game! it sounds just like it lol
Well this song hit me like a truck. Zagreus was the name of our cat, we named him after Hades (Video Game). He passed on the third. This comes out a couple days later, same name, and very clearly inspired from the same place. I heard those notes. This was absolutely fantastic and a very cathartic experience that the universe decided to swing at me with.
Thanks.
Ya usually people can connect to music alot easier when it relates to their trauma
Woah very special coincidence. RIP Zagreus, wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
i'm not crying, oh my god. rip lil guy, I hope this song helps you in more than one way!
So sorry for your loss man, but thank you for sharing. Been through it, most horrifying experience of my life. All I can say, is that your resonance with this Periphery tune is the exact reason Periphery exists in all our lives. To heal broken hearts, laugh in our faces, and slide in at just the right time....usually with some fucked up shit no one csn quantify.
Coincidence. If only we could be that special. Sorry about your cat
I love how when Periphery tell us “Hey, we’re releasing two new tracks!” it actually means we’re getting 15+ minutes of bangin’ tunes, not just a measly 3 or 4 minutes of standard song lengths. 🎉🤗🤘🏼 Feels like I’m experiencing a whole EP this morning, listening on repeat.
When Periphery goes melodic it's the most beautiful shit ever made. Just straight peak.
But doesn't peak mean bad?
@@TheLowest No? That's not what it means in any language, not even close. No idea where you got that from.
@@TheLowest I don’t think so.
@@TheLowest The Peak Thing
@@JeremiahFernandez ha i see what you did there you cheeky scoundrel
This is a good moment to be a Periphery fan 😎😎😎
but great momen are being a periphery fan from P1
fan from Clear era here
@@JeremiahFernandez something about your aura is very pale
been a fan since Misha was looking for Spencer and had to go through Jake and Casey to find him
It's an honor to be fan of this great band for sure my brothers 😎
Periphery does the thing Rush did. They have a blast making music and don’t take themselves too seriously. That tends to make the best music. The artists who just enjoy themselves doing it.
This shit slaps.
Haken and King Gizzard are also great examples of this combo
'Have a blast'
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist4 🤓
You really didn't compare this dross to Rush right?
@@dragonballfanscantread2383 Periphery does have the same kind of a sense of humor. Ever seen Rush live?
Hearing the breakdown part from "Four Lights" at 2:58 and 6:32 was such a trip. I'm so ready to hear the rest of this album!
the riff from 3:00 is also from 4 lights
What is 4 lights?
@@FlipperWolf a periphery song from the album juggernaut alpha
@@FlipperWolf Song from Juggernaut Alpha. great album you should check out
I second this 10000%. The Alpha/Omega albums are such a good listen.
Spencer feels like one of the only metal vocalists right now that can write vocal parts that are equally as interesting as the disjointed and odd guitar parts he's singing over. While somehow making it fit even though it sounds very much like the opposite of what I might have expected him to do. Everyone in this band is phenomenal.
I feel ya man. Something I also noticed, watch a good band like this introduce a written statement or changing the purview of how a word is perceived. Then a few months later watch how all the bands that can make catchy songs with a few decent lines steal the unique thought processes this (and similar bands) develop only to get eaten alive by mediocre copycats. Then rinse and repeat
@@jaycameron and no one cares about yours. So why don’t you shove it, dear?
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@@jaycameron shut up nerd
you must not listen to much music
"Will it ever be?" section might have just taken my #1 favourite spot in any of your songs.
So simple, yet so powerful 👏
Hell yeah, melodically powerful, such a great moment !
Right up there with Lune and Sattelites instantly
Dude that melody is solid. I'm still making up my mind. Love these guys.
@@IIESPD00DII luck as a constant too!
@@l.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.l How could I forget? Nothing but facts!
Nice to see Haunted Shores, Four Seconds Ago and King Mothership do an album together 👏👏👏
Thanks for the wedding gift boys, we'll be blasting the 2 singles at our ceremony tonight
HELL YEAH CONGRATS
Congrats man!
F*** yeah! 🤘🏽 congrats, man!
Congrats dude,
Hahaha beastmode! We used music from BTBAM in our ceremony a decade ago - never regretted it!
Spencer's vocals just keep getting better on each album. AOTY for sure
Are there even any other albums this year? Maybe killswitch engage has one this year idk. But judging by their last and peripherys last I'd be shocked if it's better LOL
@@HugoStiglitz88 Haken album also will be dope. Tesseract announced also new stuff. will be a good year :D
Gonna be a hard one for me between this and Sleep Token's 'Take me back to Eden'.
That Four Lights breakdown....chills
also the four lights intro at 3:00
I fucking knew it. Someone said I was dumb for thinking it!
@@ivo_picha instant stank face
Also at 6:32 there's a nod to the breakdown in Four lights (in four lights its at 0:53) Edit:wrong time stamp
Great I'm not the only one who heard that lol, I love the reference to their older music with their new sound, this song is amazing
The riffs that go hard as fuck are amazing, always, but it's the melodic parts that always hit me right in the guts (the part from 4:40). You guys never disappoint.
"We'll be juuuuuuuuuuust ffffffiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnneeeeeeeeee" FUCK ME SPENCER YOU ARE A FUCKING GENIUS!
This has huge Protest The Hero vibes and I love it
Glad I'm not the only one who hears it! That outro is so PTH I get chills everytime
LOVE IT! Amazing shoutout to Hades game at the 6:56 mark. Goosebumps.
Was waiting for that the whole song! SO glad they included that little nod to Hades' motif.
@@bham206 Yup. Me too. Was so good.
Heard it instantly and kinda wanted to play it again!
Was about to point his out too :D Zagreus was kind of a dead giveaway though.
What is it now please explain. I'm not looped in.
2:58 IT'S THE RIFF FROM FOUR LIGHTS
The more i listen to these new songs the more i realize how much care and attention has been put into each note being played
"Djent is not a genre", but delivers one of the most djenty songs of the band.
Both songs lol
It's not a genre, it's a lifestyle
They are not djenty
Didn't even listen yet, just immediately clicked thumbs up
I strongly believe there is no band which connects more deeply with its fanbase. It's some kind of mutual love and respect.
*ahem* phish
@@danianderson8373 what kinda weed you puffin on?
*PISH UNREAL*
@@thlldeeznutz6163 how can you disagree? If you know anything about them and have been to shows, you can't say otherwise. They consistently do so much for their fans and provide a live experience unlike any other. And you'll never see the same show twice. Nor will you ever hear the same song played the same way twice. 40 years strong too. I love periphery a whole lot. That's not a question. I'm just replying to this comment with what I know.
I think BTBAM is up there too. Especially after Colors II
How long do you think their set list be on this upcoming tour? I’m debating if I should go or not
Imagine this in a concert hall with a live orchestra
A fully orchestra-backed Periphery show would be incredible. This song would work amazingly well in that context
This is literally the ONLY band where I don't think to myself, "man, I miss their older stuff." I like some albums more than others, sure. But this band is top tier when it comes to inventiveness and creativity.
Periphery never miss!
If this is what the first two singles are like than this album will be EPIC!!!!!
Lol your name is like a bad Tom Brady alias
6:11 This transition is pure Catch 33. Heavy AF, love it.
Genre is genre 👍
i like the callback to Four Lights at 2:59
1:37 "searching for something beyond"
I forget which song that was a quote from
@@lasagnasux4934 he says “longing for something beyond” in Omega, so I think that’s the callback
5:19 if that's a "far too high" reference i love that, so stoked for this album
wow great catch, love that song!
To this day I have considered Juggernaut to be their best work. This album might just take its place..
This album will truly be Periphery at their good damn finest
Yeah I got a feeling about that...I feel like they are hitting back on their roots with this one.
Idk. They're always great but I don't think they'll ever top P1. The musicality on that one is just on another level. Their compositions are improving though which is nice
@@HaroldnolikeGerald this doesn't sound like their roots at all lol have you heard p1 and p2? This is more like juggernaut tbh. That's not their roots
"This is gonna be bloody...blood damn good well good damn!"
Wait for Silhouette. It's gonna be the most polarizing song on the album. Channeling some serious "The 1975" vibes.
The Juggernaut references in this and Wildfire are awesome!
Look call me a dreamer, but my head cannon is that this is going to be Jugg 2 basically
JuggerStan vibes for me.
@@kornslipknot202 They said it felt too forced and gave up on doing that...I believe them less after hearing these two songs, lol
Is "Djent is not a Genre" an elaborate red herring? That's probably too far-fetched, but you never know...
Seeing if anyone else noticed the absolute masterpiece @ 3:40-6:00. That has to be one of the most powerful and moving parts of a song I have ever heard.
That Four Lights callback at 2:58 🔥
And 6:32 ;)
4:12-5:40 is such a beautiful part
I really hope the whole album is full of moments like this. Nothing beats the catchy and melodic side of Periphery.
Agate
More Spencer low screams pls holy shit
Someone's been geeking out on Hades.
Oh my god, the little bits and pieces of this song that call back to the 'longing for something beyond' theme of Alpha-Omega is genius and beautiful
This Time It's Personal, Select Difficulty, Hail Stan, and Djent Is Not A Genre.
These absolute memers. I love it. Also dope sick ridiculous epic fucking song or whatever.
This Djent album is going to hit hard.
What you're talking about, djent is not a genre
@@rez6624 This song disagrees
Hugh hugh hugh good one
I had a sandwich that had Djent on it and it tasted great!
This song makes me want to escape my father's home in the pits of Tartarus and fight my way through the souls of the Underworld with aid from the Gods of Olympus, only to be killed and sent back home just so I can do it all over again.
1:06 This part "Over! Over!" is apparently my favorite bit of the song
"In the name of Hades! I accept this banger." - Zagreus (most definitely)
It's a certified hood classic
Gangsta as doorags
I'm so glad to know that they are still out there working hard and putting out amazing music.
It's technical, it's aggressive, progressive, it's melodic and brutal
It's beautiful.
Periphery easily one of my top favorite bands
2:13 This is just filthy. I feel very fortunate to be able to listen to music like this! Another new release, another jaw dropped.
Wow! This song sure does Djent!
Thank god there's new Periphery, 2023 is already a good year. Spencer continues to be the best vocalist in the game
Fuck yeah!! There are so many bands who get the instrumentation right but the vocalist just takes a shit on the vocals and I pray they release an instrumental. Periphery... No. Okay I'd be down for instrumental but Spencer is so sick that I'd miss him
@@austinstorm711 they had released an instrumental version of their entire first self titled album many years ago but they removed it from all the streaming services a few years ago. I’m still bummed about it. Luckily you can still find it on CZcams though
@@DiegoJ1023 where?? I’ve been trying to find that for fucking ever because Spence hadn’t quite become the vocalist he is today
@@xXxThelegend27xXx After checking, it seems like a lot of them have been taken off of CZcams too. I’m sure you can find the entire first album if you do a bit of digging

PIII: czcams.com/play/PLSTnbYVfZR03JGmoJri6Sgvl4f0VAi9st.html
The vocal work in this one reminds me to Rody Walker quite a bit. This band simply can do no wrong!
That ending. Jesus! It's like a Hans Zimmer movie score!
God that part from 4:13 is so good
I’d have too agree
it was such a pleasant surprise
Beautiful! Jesus Christ!
I was NOT expecting that... Nobody shifts gears as well as Periphery these days!
God damn I could put that on repeat all day
This song literally says a lot about society
Will it ever be?
Will we ever live another day in honesty?
'Cause we're falling apart, right from the start, you and I
“Stop pointing fingers and start looking inward” 😳☝🏼💪 -Spencer
4:13 i wouldnt mind a whole song with that vocal line
Those pop-ish vocal lines are top tier
6:56 nice reference
Is this to the Juggernaut albums or the game Hades?
It refers to the juggernaut album too? Tell me more
nvm I figured it out
they´re in their prime. Glad to be there
DJENT IS NOT A GENRE
DJENT IS LUV
DJENT IS LIF
This album will be the best Periphery album. I heard 2 songs and I’m convinced. It’s like the band read my subconscious and tailored their album to my preferences. I love this direction for Periphery
Naaaah every album is a gem.
Neither song so far is on the level of anything from P2 or P3 to me but that's music, subjective. The mix on this also seems like their worst mix ever.
@@derpderpin1568 this mix is certainly not as bad as p1 or p2 lol, it's a very polished sound though which i get that not everyone will prefer.
I personally think Hail Stan is their best to date, but I'll be curious to see if this one can top it. I have my doubts, Reptile and Satellites alone make P4 a hard album to beat.
@@BionicleSaurus From a listeners perspective, Hail Stan is probably the most approachable album they've released. Now, in my opinion as a guitarist, P2, Juggernaut, and P3 take the cake for pure guitar nerd listening pleasure based on riffs alone.
6:39 is also a Four Lights reference, it's the last breakdown pattern from that song... is this album going to be full of Juggernaut references??? These 2 singles have me so excited
Right After it it Sounds like „the Event“
There are sections lyrically for both songs that give off the impression of a secret Juggernaut sequel and I might be looking to deep into it but it’s such a cool thought
I think I heard Misha mention in a live steam a while ago that they wanted to pursue a sequel to the Juggernaut albums. We might be witnessing that sequel.
I think this is the sequel. Wildfire seems like the continuation from some parts of the last story. After all the cycle started again at the end of stranger things. So I think this could be a huge possibility.
A little of MK Ultra
“Take this Bruise as a sign
We owe you now and forever”
Four lights and Prayer Position
The way the guitars and drums from 5:58 and on weave in and out of sync within the time signature is so damn awesome.
metric modulation
@@guglani22 thanks yeah that’s the term
I can proudly say I am the 420th viewer. Album art is pretty sik. Also love the hades soundtrack at the end, had a feeling this was related to that game
This song, especially 5:58, is so heavy and unbelievable. Already a masterpiece.
5:35 I LOVE YOU, SPENCER
At like 3:00 or near there they start playing the Four Lights riff. That's what sold me.
That mid guitar solo break almost sounds Opeth-y. Damn. What a dynamic song this is.
Came here for this comment. Very Opeth. The boys are obvi Opeth fans so checks out
I think I've heard Jake say that he's an Opeth fan and this is his solo
10000000%
Yeh, got massive Opeth - Burden vibes but still original!
The part to follow reminds me of Reptile.
you better make 4:13 - 5:55 into its own song right now you beautiful bastards how dare u bring a tear to my eye
6:57 gave me chills, this song is fucking incredible
This song goes so hard - thank you so much for more grandeur, Jake, Misha, Spencer, Mark, Matt, and Nolly ❤️
2:59 anyone else notice the riff from "Four Lights" from their Alpha Album
These two singles rock!!!! can't wait for the whole album
this is Metal... not Rock....
@@vicibanzio You're very observant lmao
Over 1 hour of heaven when it releases
So many periphery singles make me start crying. This is one of them. Maybe I’m a softie but their music is just so beautiful to me and speaks to me so directly. Also, holy shit, Spencer’s lows are getting so brutal lol I’m loving it
Jesus... these guys are still the best. Both songs are fucking great
THE FOUR LIGHTS CALL BACK
i don't think any periphery album has blown me away this fast lmao holy shit
just hear Periphery first Album.
@@vicibanzio yea, the original blows this completely out of the water lol
My favorites are I, II, and Clear. There's a few songs from other albums that are really good, but those are the only solid albums in my opinion. All of Misha's old SoundClick material is solid as well. That's where I started before the albums existed.
@@idiot_city5244 I hate these singles compared to every other piece of work I've heard. Trash to my ears.
You haven't even heard it yet
Cmon, any periphery fan should know their music need to be listened to in full album format. Therefore 2 songs cannot possible define the whole album
Djent is not a Genre, It's pure Emotion ❤
GOD, THAT WAY TO START A SOLO IS JUST SO..uwu
Fucking gay
This is how you properly mix heavy with soft. Dark with light!! Track is flawless 🤘🏼🙌🏼
This song went to an unexpectedly beautiful place.
I feel like I'm listening to every album they ever put out so far with these 2 new tracks, and my mind, body and soul are happy as fuck. I can't wait for this album. Top tier.
Literally one of the last bands on this shtty rock that gets me excited. and no not a crack rock. this shty earth rock. PERIPHERY IS ALPHA. THIS IS WHAT WE BEEN WAITING FOR. ALL HAIL PRPHURY WTF EVEN IS HAPPENING. GOD TIER OVER 9000 LETS FKKNG GO BOIS
ONLY 7:30 IN WTF IS THIS BEAUTFUL NOISE HAPPENING!?!?!?!?
DEAR GOD ITS JUST GETRTING BIGGER
IT STOPPED WHat A TEASE ALL HAIL PERIPHERY SPENCER I LOVE U GDAMIT MY VOCAL HERO!!!! WHAT A LEGEND practiced all my high notes in car to u years ago and sounded like dkfuk but ALL HAIL THE DJENT LORDS LETS GOOO
These two song are like perfected Periphery III songs......SO.FUCKING.STOKED.
Symphonic metalcore djent. Amazing music.👍👊
Unpopular opinion
4:13 Spencer sounds so much like Late Chester Bennington 🥺❤️
Glad I'm not the only one who hears it.
Spencer loves Chester
Check his song Astral, he released it under the Endur moniker
6:54 absolutely love the little Hades nod at the end here.
The Juggernaut callbacks are so fire.
I thought it might be from the title, but that Hades riff at the end confirmed that this song is just one big love letter to Hades
Imma straight up steal the hook at 4:13 and write me a winner for the Eurovision song contest lol. Great work with some amazing music as always @Periphery
6:56 I hear "Death and I" from the video game Hades. Rad.
You know when the orchestral elements are introduced at the end of the track you know the next song Is gonna hit hard.
The album name defined the guitar tone itself 🤘
Thanks for dropping such banger songs on my birthday!!! Its a really cool gift to have on this day, specially when the songs are really good !!!
Thank you guys for bring me good songs at this days. I really waiting a lot for that day.
I see you 2:58 and 6:40 Four Lights riffage. Nice 🙂🙂
The first listen had me in tears of joy 🥺 Holy shit boys, thank you for making the most gorgeous music time and time again 🖤✨️
