That chorus is so frickin' catchy, I love it. It's gonna take a few watches to figure out the video though, was a guy under house arrest being forced to play a video game to correct his mistakes?
diazzsama I wouldn't agree with that, they make cameos just for shits and giggles; the video has its completely separate and meaningful universe... I'll try to gather my thoughts/interpretations in a comment but whoah, not easy to speak about this.
I feel like I need to say, that juggernaut, both albums are masterpieces/works of amazing art, in which sound truly amazing! This song alone is perfect in every way, just like the rest of both albums! Amazing release from the best band on this planet right now.. Thank you Periphery.. Take care!
Why is everyone complaining about this song?? It's catchy and heavy in equal measure, which about sums up their approach to songwriting from P2 onwards...don't get me wrong, I still love and listen to their first album on a frequent basis, but they couldn't keep doing that stuff forever, and any dabbling and experimenting with accessible songwriting have produced great tracks! 'Djent' in its zeitgeist form has had it's time and these guys are showing what else can be achieved with the subgenre. This, of course, is all just an opinion, but I do implore you to listen to new record if you haven't yet. It's killer (again, in my opinion) :)
Just listened to Alpha and Omega, I must say the album is A LOT better than I expected, all the songs have singular indentity while keeping most of the technical part. I hope they will make a video clip for the bad thing and rainbow gravity. I also can't help but hope an accoustic version of A black minute and priestress.
Yeah, I love how people are judging them based on this song, one of the two poppy and catchy songs on the album. 22 Faces, Rainbow Gravity, The Bad Thing, The Scourge, Omega, and Stranger Things are all heavy as hell and great. These albums have it all.
misha,I love your movie tron legacey and I also love your song icarus lives!!! It cheers me up when I'm sad playing minecraft!!when I grow up I want to build computers!!just like you I am vary interested in the digit world. Well done misha well done you have impress me that you have changed my life
What annoys me more than haters is the people feeding them. Let them express their opinion, no matter how wrong you think it is, without coming back with some asslicking comment about how the band is perfect or whatever. I can see why people might not like this type of Periphery, but I think it's pretty sick and and I'm loving this new material. Again, my opinion, everyone's entitled to one, just enjoy the music or go somewhere else. :)
How is this song so unpopular?? I've been listening to it for months on my phone and i was expecting at least a million views... 135 thousand?? Is that it?
Just to say - when I listened to the songs that periphery released before the full albums, I felt quite disappointed. However, listening to the whole albums back to back about 5 times completely, I would really say this is one of their best creations ever. So good I've listened to it non stop!
Omg you guys need to all get over yourselves, when was Periphery ever not poppy? Like never, not even on their first album. Just embrace it now that it's out there.
Javin Maillet Pretty much. As someone who would have hated this track six years ago, I think a lot of 'metalheads' are closed-minded. Whatever direction Periphery are going in, I like it a lot. There's nothing wrong with catchy, harmonious music.
if the vox were "poppy" and the song was "poppy". this would be getting air time. guess what? it isn't. this is far from poppy as well as the album. don't judge the band and their work off of a song or two. listen to tracks from them like 22 faces or ragnarok or buttersnips or racecar or jetpack was yes or hell below or mk ultra. all of those are insanely complex and heavy tracks. dive deeper into the band before you place a full opinion on them. spencer is arguably the best vocalist out right now. his low growls are monstrous and his clean vocals are mesmerizing. just because he's got an actual range doesn't make him a pop vocalist. and all the people complaining are the ones that think 80's metal was superior because there was no such thing as clean vocals. if you don't like it, fucking leave and don't comment.
Everyone's saying that Periphery would be better without a vocalist, this song smacks everyone in their face! I think Spencer makes up a huge bulk of this song and it wouldn't be nearly as good without him!
Why is having good and memorable vocal melodies considered "poppy"? Shouldn't that be a good thing? Plus if this were a Bulb or Haunted Shores song, guaranteed, most of the people complaining would eat it right up.
It's because the fans who grew tired of Icarus Lives and Scarlet were hoping they took a different turn with the new album. We were wrong, they ripped up Scarlet and sprinkled it over 12 tracks... Therefore people are calling it "poppy".
It's less about melodies and more the tone of Spencer's voice that gets me. Somehow he managed to make it sound more sugar coated than some of the previous songs from past releases. Its more obnoxious and less subtle in delivery, if that makes sense to anyone. I give it the benefit of the doubt though, since his voice always kinda sounded like that and always managed to complement the music quite well - this song being no exception.
everyone's commenting like "oh this is s*** periphery has sold out" I believe haven't actually listened to the album in its entirety. I believe this is their most solid release yet, not mentioning the INSANE production. The diversity and multilayered complexity of the LP is nothing less than impressive, with Spencer's vocals which are actually better than I expected, a sort of Chester Bennington in a progressive metal context. You can hear the band's intention to get BIG and why not, "famous" in a broader sense. What's wrong with that? We're talking about real musicians here, very, very far away also from bands in the same context (think about After the Burial's last release...).

They can't please everyone, but they sure as shit tried! I mean have you HEARD this album? I think they covered every part of the musical spectrum. This happens to be one of the more melodic, hooky tracks, and everyone jumps on here to complain that all their new stuff is weak. Sorry children, nobody wants to make an album of tracks that all sound like 5 minute breakdowns. It's called "dynamics."
Don't worry about it. Within a few months those same people will be back on the comments sections saying how great these albums are and they were wrong etc....same shit with P2. Everyone hated that as well and then were jacking off all over it later on. Metal heads are pretentious picky pricks. Get used to it lol. It's why I hate most of them.
This band is so strange. Its like either their songs are trash and unlistenable or they are incredible and groovy and beautiful. There is no middle ground.
Periphery has always been a bit boyish, but the first verse kinda reminded me of One Direction. But hey, Periphery is sort a guilty pleasure anyway, so I don't really mind.
That chorus is so frickin' catchy, I love it. It's gonna take a few watches to figure out the video though, was a guy under house arrest being forced to play a video game to correct his mistakes?
Mitch showed me this song a while ago, and it's so good!
It might just be the thing to get me into Periphery. Who knows.
Murica!
Holy shit it's Dave :D
No dave, it's just the continuation of mustard vs ketchup
diazzsama I wouldn't agree with that, they make cameos just for shits and giggles; the video has its completely separate and meaningful universe... I'll try to gather my thoughts/interpretations in a comment but whoah, not easy to speak about this.
I love how a gigantic mustard bottle spaceship is actually a part of Periphery "lore."
Your use of the word “lore” is so fucking genius.
@@psychedelicaii1165Oh how the world has changed. 😅
I feel like I need to say, that juggernaut, both albums are masterpieces/works of amazing art, in which sound truly amazing! This song alone is perfect in every way, just like the rest of both albums! Amazing release from the best band on this planet right now.. Thank you Periphery.. Take care!
I love the connection at the end to scarlet and the mustard ship, lmfao
I loved how they're watching the scarlet music video on TV at one point.
Jackson Pickens scarlet is better !!
L' anglais we never mentioned alpha being better...
Jammin this in the office right now - another doozie, well done dudes!
Basick Rec' approves. An Algorithm/Periphery collab' maybe?
J. Cobb woah! now that's gonna be THE thing!
This vid has just got VERY real for me. Thank you, Periphery. Thank you.
Love that polyrhytmic 8-bit outro
Chorus are still catchy, screams so flipping love.
Periphery is by far one of the most talented bands.
Why is everyone complaining about this song?? It's catchy and heavy in equal measure, which about sums up their approach to songwriting from P2 onwards...don't get me wrong, I still love and listen to their first album on a frequent basis, but they couldn't keep doing that stuff forever, and any dabbling and experimenting with accessible songwriting have produced great tracks!

Also, +1 for the track reference in the videogame title...
Chris Rowland Will you explain the reference please ^_^
Rainbow Gravity is one of the tracks off Alpha :)
Chris Rowland Riiight! Thanks :)
You can't please all the people all the time... but I'm enjoying the band showing us the many different aspects of their musicianship.
Love the song and album! Cant wait to go and see em LIVE!
Fucking amazing song.. Just like every other Periphery song I've heard so far, great band!
This track is just....
...prefect, a good work !!
The best band of the world. Juggernaut is PERFECT!
And one more thing: COME TO BRAZIL! :(
Juggernaut - what a band...
Raven D Shane Notice the ellipsis at the end of his first sentence?
DeeZaster Notice the humor in life?
Raven D Shane Notice that mustard in the background?
DeeZaster Notice the flying car?
hell yes, i love how it fits in with the scarlet video towards the end!
Pewdiepie looks awesome in this video
Just listened to Alpha and Omega, I must say the album is A LOT better than I expected, all the songs have singular indentity while keeping most of the technical part. I hope they will make a video clip for the bad thing and rainbow gravity. I also can't help but hope an accoustic version of A black minute and priestress.
They are creating the peripheryverse
Hands up. They won the internet.
This is actually really good! Happy Days!
Yeah, I love how people are judging them based on this song, one of the two poppy and catchy songs on the album. 22 Faces, Rainbow Gravity, The Bad Thing, The Scourge, Omega, and Stranger Things are all heavy as hell and great. These albums have it all.
Mk Ultra, Four Lights and Hell Below as well. Lots of heavy, lots of melody, lots of everything on both records. People are picky twats though.
misha,I love your movie tron legacey and I also love your song icarus lives!!! It cheers me up when I'm sad playing minecraft!!when I grow up I want to build computers!!just like you I am vary interested in the digit world. Well done misha well done you have impress me that you have changed my life
Awesomeness in its purest form.

The lyrics are truthful and fantastic. Juggernaut is a fantastic piece of art as a whole.
Esse é um dos melhores vídeo clipes que já vi!
How is this song so unpopular?? I've been listening to it for months on my phone and i was expecting at least a million views... 135 thousand?? Is that it?
Words of wisdom from Periphery: If you are ever tempted to drive drunk, just throw your car into space.
Bands like this and Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! are what keep this genre alive
The part when the car pass outside the periphery's ship is just fucking awesome
otra paranoia como la de Scarlet... me encanta!!! nos vemos en el Resurrection!
Quite an awesome band, like it :)
Just to say - when I listened to the songs that periphery released before the full albums, I felt quite disappointed. However, listening to the whole albums back to back about 5 times completely, I would really say this is one of their best creations ever. So good I've listened to it non stop!
A dubstep remix of this would be so dope.
No it wouldn't on any level you crazy person
Best f_in chorus of the whole double album
песня шедевральна, клип шедеврален 10 из 10
обожаю Periphery
SO MANY EASTER EGGS.
Omg you guys need to all get over yourselves, when was Periphery ever not poppy? Like never, not even on their first album. Just embrace it now that it's out there.
a perfect Vid ^^
Pedazo de video
Metal head logic- chorus is catchy= song sucks.
Javin Maillet Pretty much. As someone who would have hated this track six years ago, I think a lot of 'metalheads' are closed-minded. Whatever direction Periphery are going in, I like it a lot. There's nothing wrong with catchy, harmonious music.
Javin Maillet I recently saw the weirdest metalhead: He claimed a metalsong was bad because the chorus was NOT catchy.
Javin Maillet Well, I didn't like this chorus. But the rest of the music I pretty much enjoyed
+Javin Maillet more like vocalist sound like a pussy = music sucks
Make Total Destroy is still their best music video IMO.
Interconnecting plots between videos? Yes.
I need to go to bed. Halfway through, I was like,
"Why am I listening to Periphery? I can't hear the video!"
Life isn't that bad. it's the mind that causes me my problems.
Well, I really liked the message in the video.
I sincerely hope I'm not the only one who realized that the 'Scarlet' music video is on the TV at 2:35... :D
if the vox were "poppy" and the song was "poppy". this would be getting air time. guess what? it isn't. this is far from poppy as well as the album. don't judge the band and their work off of a song or two. listen to tracks from them like 22 faces or ragnarok or buttersnips or racecar or jetpack was yes or hell below or mk ultra. all of those are insanely complex and heavy tracks. dive deeper into the band before you place a full opinion on them. spencer is arguably the best vocalist out right now. his low growls are monstrous and his clean vocals are mesmerizing. just because he's got an actual range doesn't make him a pop vocalist. and all the people complaining are the ones that think 80's metal was superior because there was no such thing as clean vocals. if you don't like it, fucking leave and don't comment.
Aha i like how they incorporated the scarlet video into this! :D great song, nice video of pewdiepie playing games ;D
Step out in the rain

The amount of intellectuals on youtube is astounding.
Che dire, bomba!
Game has an awesome soundtrack and has impressive graphics. But only 720p 30FPS

"Too much mustard."
.-ING
mariotaz 30fps makes it look more cinematic
Ralph Dreijer Not to mention the human eye can't see more than 30FPS.
mariotaz supposedly only 24 fps, but still you'll notice a difference between 48 and 24 fps, for instance in fast action scenes.
this is so pop.
Everyone's saying that Periphery would be better without a vocalist, this song smacks everyone in their face! I think Spencer makes up a huge bulk of this song and it wouldn't be nearly as good without him!
THE MUSTARDSHIP!!
Sophie Burrell brought me here!
Can we talk about how fucking sick that intro riff is?!
@@CollapseOfReason sickest ever!!
Just noticed his keys had Spence, Nolly, Mark and either Misha or Dave (couldn't tell) as well that his keys say "MK 22".
If the whole plot to juggernaut is actually deep down written about the great ketchup and mustard war I wouldn't be surprised.
2018 and reading the comments all like “ahhh too poppy” “too generic now” HAHAHAHA where the fuck are y’all now
He's playing the steam machine what a lucky bastard haha
Is Periphery under Century media Records or Summarian Records? Both labels are claiming this album is theirs
Summarian Records for north america and century media for the rest of the world.
Century Media is their European label, so I think both
Why is having good and memorable vocal melodies considered "poppy"? Shouldn't that be a good thing? Plus if this were a Bulb or Haunted Shores song, guaranteed, most of the people complaining would eat it right up.
It's because the fans who grew tired of Icarus Lives and Scarlet were hoping they took a different turn with the new album. We were wrong, they ripped up Scarlet and sprinkled it over 12 tracks... Therefore people are calling it "poppy".
It's 17 tracks, unless you were intending to list the 12 tracks that sound like Scarlet...
kaingates You make that sound like a bad thing. It's not, it's just not to your tastes.
It's less about melodies and more the tone of Spencer's voice that gets me. Somehow he managed to make it sound more sugar coated than some of the previous songs from past releases. Its more obnoxious and less subtle in delivery, if that makes sense to anyone. I give it the benefit of the doubt though, since his voice always kinda sounded like that and always managed to complement the music quite well - this song being no exception.
***** Nah man, that's why people are calling it poppy, I dislike the new periphery-sound myself but I can see why people like it.
rock on fellaz!
I think this dude was in the scarlet video too? I'm guessing he makes the videos.
exactly, first thing after watching that was Scarlet video :)
This is my snare reference track
NEXT PERIPHERY SONG: LOVE YA FOREVA (FEAT JUSTIN BIEBER + KATY PARRY) FUCK YEA!
hey I know this is pretty late but does anybody know how to get a physical copy of Alpha & Omega ordered into New Zealand?
Thumbs up for stratospheric car!

Periphery Lyrics
Follow Periphery
on Bandsintown
"Alpha"
It's always better on the other side of it
Wanting what you'll never have
And it's a goddamn broken state of mind
Yeah, the one that we've been living in
It's never greener inside the mess we're in
Wanting what you'll never have
The less we are content, the more we throw away
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from me
But still I have no adamant will to leave
What little time we have
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
It's envy eating away at the core of us
Wanting what you'll never have
And isn't it the point of living to breathe?
Knowing this is all we need
It's never greener inside the mess we're in
Wanting what you'll never have
The less we are content, the more we throw away
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from me
But still I have no adamant will to leave
What little time we have
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Show them that we're not blind
Come on, show them that we're not blind
We're not blind!
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Fly past the withered trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
Fly past the withered trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
This want is menacing, it will not leave us be
Can we purge this?
The bastard in our brain will chew until it bleeds
How did we get like this?!
How did we get like this? (Can we purge this heart?)
Step out in the rain
Feel life in our veins
Step out in the rain
Feel life in our
Feel life in our veins
(How did we get like this? Can we purge this? The bastard in our brains will chew until it bleeds)
How did we get like this?!
Just call me angel of the morning angel.....
this band gets weirder every video they release.
The 'Scarlet' video is on the TV in the background. Lolz.
If you could morph Pewdiepie and Spoole together, the guy in the video would be the result.
2:35 Look on the tv! Looks familiar? :D
I'm starting to find all the butthurt "Omg Periphery sucks now" comments hilarious.
Man.. wonder how much money this music video cost to produce. =O
vocals make me chunder, i honestly think one direction is less saccharine
Jeez...
Pretty sure I've seen Mark Holcomb's crazy eye stare at some point in the TV screen, LOL
Yep lol, pause @ 3:23
***** HAHA YES!
Seeing a lot of closed minded "metal heads"..
+Young Sandwich calling people "closed minded" is the new thing I guess. Maybe I'm to closed minded for liking 14-year-old vocals.
+VonSeux Show me one 14-year-old that can actually sing like this. Go ahead, I'll be waiting.
press play on the video above
They can't please everyone, but they sure as shit tried! I mean have you HEARD this album? I think they covered every part of the musical spectrum.

Don't worry about it. Within a few months those same people will be back on the comments sections saying how great these albums are and they were wrong etc....same shit with P2. Everyone hated that as well and then were jacking off all over it later on. Metal heads are pretentious picky pricks. Get used to it lol. It's why I hate most of them.
2:35 just me that noticed the interrogation scene from the video "Scarlet" going on the TV in the back?
Wow, I can't believe even Periphery is going to crap, goddamit, this world is so fucked up.
I tought it was pewdiepie
SO MANY SCARLET REFERENCES!
I wish I could get into Periphery, don't really dig the vocals but the rest is simply eargasmic
Hey it only took em three albums to go pop metal!
This band is so strange. Its like either their songs are trash and unlistenable or they are incredible and groovy and beautiful. There is no middle ground.
Nice. Nicki Minaj will join the band really soon.
Are you high?
Young Sandwich hi I'm high, you called?
Adrian Pelaj I did, i need your services.
Young Sandwich My sweet fresh young sandwich, I will do anything for you.

Oh, you're one of them metal fans.
Periphery has always been a bit boyish, but the first verse kinda reminded me of One Direction. But hey, Periphery is sort a guilty pleasure anyway, so I don't really mind.
Why are they a guilty pleasure? They are brilliant musicians. Nothing to be ashamed of at all.
Is this Periphery or Meteora era Linkin Park?
ahahahahah "PERIHPERY"
He's holding the controller wrong.
is that monster ranchers on acid???

Those close-ups of the controller though... Why the F would we be interested in seeing that shitty fantasy touchscreen controller all the time...
