  • On this episode of Sounding Off we have Guitarist and Founder of the Progressive Metal (Djent) band Periphery! Yes, he does Djent.
    PERIPHERY is a Grammy-nominated American progressive metal band based in Washington, D.C., formed in 2005. Their musical style has been described as progressive metal as well as Djent. They are considered one of the pioneers of the djent movement within progressive metal. The band consists of vocalist Spencer Sotelo, guitarists Misha Mansoor, Mark Holcomb, Jake Bowen, and drummer Matt Halpern. Periphery released their self-titled debut in 2010, followed by Periphery II: This Time It's Personal on July 3, 2012. On December 3, 2013 they released a teaser for their EP Clear, which was subsequently released on January 28, 2014. Periphery's third and fourth studio albums, entitled Juggernaut: Alpha and Juggernaut: Omega respectively, were released on January 15, 2015. Most recently, Periphery released their third self-titled album, Periphery III: Select Difficulty on July 22, 2016.

      Hi, whats the guitar at 0:24 ?

    • @primarypenguin
      @primarypenguin Před 6 lety +7

      Misha, about what you said about learning synthesis and orchestral arrangement after being a bit uninspired by metal guitar, watching you go through that through your instagram posts is what inspired me to do the same thing, and suddenly i'm writing a ton of music again. You helped me without even realizing it, so thanks for that.

    One of the best bands of this current era, everything from songwriting, live performance to production is flawless.

    One of the biggest names in modern music today.. “we don’t really make any money from it...we just make music for fun now.”
    Legitimately one of the most depressing things I’ve heard in a long time.

    • @poulwinther
      @poulwinther Před 6 lety +29

      ....and yet you probably belong to the mob flaming Lars for putting his career on the line trying to avoid this state of things.

    • @MishaMansoor
      @MishaMansoor Před 6 lety +108

      It shouldn't be though, it's kinda nice to be able to just make music for the sake of making music. That's how I got started and what made me happy in the beginning, and it's good to be able to have that dynamic now.

    • @JesterMasque
      @JesterMasque Před 6 lety +11

      @Misha Of course!! By itself, it is truly a beautiful thing, and I fully understand where you're coming from. But it still feels a bit like you're saying that there's no such thing as a career as an artist in the music industry anymore, only marketing and sales. I'm not saying that the state of the industry isn't what it is, I think that is pretty clear to see. But I want to hear about what we can do to draw people back in to the idea of supporting artistry here in the US. It does seem bleak, but I think it's only up to us to try and turn things back around. We just need to know where to start.

    • @bellmeisterful
      @bellmeisterful Před 6 lety +6

      Poul Winther Knudsen so true. I'm an old metal head and I didn't hate them for being against Napster way back when.

    • @JesterMasque
      @JesterMasque Před 6 lety +8

      @Poul I think that's an amazing perspective that people never look at. They think that he was just trying to scrape a few more pennies from the album sales, but it was a legitimate reflex because file sharing was going to flip the industry on it's head. And look where we are now.. I'm not saying that I want to make millions of dollars just to play guitar, but we can't sit here and think that it's okay to trivialize the artistry that goes into the music that we consume.

      I super enjoyed Periphery III! Hope you liked what you heard, OP. "Catch Fire" is one of those tracks that just grooves real great for me. Their other albums have some incredible stuff on it as well, but I think III is my favorite.

    Another great interview. Rick, this is what makes your channel so amazing! Your appreciation for ALL musical styles is very infectious. Ive always like Periphery. They do a great job combining progressive metal with an almost pop appeal. Very listenable to a novice. Ive been writing some game music ideas and reference Periphery for their beautiful ideas, sound, and production. Misha seems like a great guy. He’s very articulate and down to earth. Thanks again…

    • @RickBeato
      @RickBeato  Před 6 lety +12

      Thank you Tom. It’s musicians like yourself that get it. Being able to appreciate all styles of music only expands your musical vocabulary. Most people become limited by their narrow musical tastes which typically happens in your 30s.This is really important for people that write music for film or TV.

  • @hi-friaudioman
    @hi-friaudioman Před 6 lety +20

    Whatever Misha, you're excellent at mixing! Also I've been listening to you and tosin since 2009 dude! You turned me on to toon track bfd 2 and were the only person I gave a damn about who got a pair of opals.

  • @LasseHuhtala
    @LasseHuhtala Před 6 lety +24

    Personally I make the music I like to listen to. But yeah, a few months after the release of a new album, I don't want to listen to it, having listened to the songs under a microscope so to speak, during the production cycle. So far I've just had pleasant surprises when putting on one of my own albums after that cool down period. Knock on wood. :-)

    Great video Rick! I'm a metal guy. Grew up on classic rock (97 Rock, Buffalo), country, alternative, 80s & 90s rap, 80s hair metal, classic metal and nowadays, European power metal and some screamy stuff. But when I'm not playing or trying to write riffs, I LOVE listening to smooth jazz. Totally chills me out, always a good groove to be had.

    Great video Rick and Misha! Another suggestion for someone to get on Sounding Off would be Trevor Rabin from YES with his very interesting career, writing 90125 before joining YES, his film scoring work, studio engineering/mixing skills, the new band "reunion" (YES feat. ARW) etc...

  • @jasonchavez4304
    @jasonchavez4304 Před 6 lety

    I’m glad that Misha was very clear on the state of the industry. I see a lot of kids jump on trends thinking that’ll catapult there career and they’ll make a lot of money. Plus, I think the genres are over saturated and convoluted. It’s too bad but hopefully the market will flip but good advice and got a lot from this episode.

    It is utterly discusting to me that bands like periphery cant get those millions. They are by far the most talented band i have ever heard in my entire life.. And if they cant do it, something is wrong with the industry and with fan support PERIOD. The worth they have brought to people and music deserves that money PERIOD. Days of bands just having to have spectacular attitudes should be over. That is a FACT.

    @negromister Před 6 lety

    Misha is awesome. It always baffles me when he keeps saying Periphery is not profitable at all; I've seen them live a few times and it's always packed. I understand that may not be the case outside major markets, but the way he talks it's like he makes $100 per gig.

    • @MishaMansoor
      @MishaMansoor Před 6 lety +5

      As I said in the video, we might have generous guarantees, but after everyone is paid off, then we pay off our manager, then our business manager, then we split everything 5 ways, then we withhold 40% for self-employment taxes, there really isn't a lot left. Definitely not enough to cover rent/mortgage/bills let alone luxuries like health insurance. If I relied on Periphery money to get by, I would have to rent a room in my parents' basement and I would live below the poverty line.

    • @negromister
      @negromister Před 6 lety

      Thanks for the reply, Mish. I wasn't doubting you or anything, it just insane to me that a successful band pays less than a nondescript office job. Looking foward to your JST amp sim.
