I think he has earned his “Metalhead” title after all the years of amazing content he has brought us. And I know he’s been to a fair share of live metal shows since all his exposure ✊🏻
@@liammark96 I wouldn’t say it’s messy. Everything structurally makes sense and is done with intent. They aim for a more chaotic sound. From a technical perspective, Periphery is one of the greatest.
Definitely one of THE MOST well thought out album ever. The fact they start out the album with their most well thought out song, is straight up BEAUTIFUL!
The best part about this is that normally these longer songs close off the album, but in this case, it's the opener to the album so you get hit with this masterpiece right off the bat
When I was in music school, and we were preparing for musical performances and stuff like that, they said that typically, the only songs that people remember are the first song in the set, and the last one. I think it's very important for any musician building an album to keep this in mind.
The whole album is like an hour and 6mins. I used to work as an order picker in a food distribution warehouse and I would use this album as a timer on big orders. The whole thing is awesome. My favorite song is Garden In The Bones.
This track along with Marigold and Habitual Line Stepper are my all time favorite Periphery songs. Rainbow Gravity, Hell Below, Bad Thing are also great.
I'm going to their concert in April and I'm so excited! I literally almost screamed when I saw this video in my notifications. Periphery is my absolute favorite band (and I Prevail, of course) and I'm so happy you're getting into them. They're truly masters of their work.
The deep voice doing the poetic style bit, is Mikey from Sikth. They really started all this type of melodic, almost theatrical metal music. Using multiple music styles and dissonance to create epic music. Periphery's guitarists said they were inspired by Sikth, and many others also. Periphery is my favourite band, but defo check out Sikth.
This was the first song I heard from Periphery, and has been favorite band ever since.... I listened to this album for 3 months straight! Every day. Then, I bought some of their previous albums, and have been very satisfied.
9:45 Just so you know, sway, what you're calling an "octave" is actually called a "key change" and Periphery use them all the time. So happy to see your progression over the years listening to more music, and seeing you recognize things like that in songs!
@@definitelynottigerwhitten5865 basically Misha writes weird chord progressions and Spencer tries to write a melody that fits to make it tie together and sound good
@@definitelynottigerwhitten5865 Well a key change IS a chord change, but it's changing to a chord that isn't in the original key. So if the guitars played a chord that the vocals don't harmonize with, it would sound off. But since the guitars AND vocals change to the same, new key, it sounds "right".
I don't often watch reaction channels, but when I do I love nothing more than seeing someone listening to uncomfortably nasty parts, and watching the face from from shocked to stank to grooving xD
@@benhemoth4693 Cmon though...P5 is still awesome. Wildfire is fkn awesome, Atropos is dope as hell and im tossed up between Wax wings and Dracul Gras being tied for third...Wax wings is beautifully written and Dracul Gras is a very theatrical. I lean more towards Dracul Gras though instead of wax wings because its fat dank vampire metal so why not?...it reminds me of reptile somewhat. I get your sentiment though...Reptile and Satellites are two legitimate masterpieces which may never be topped. Satellites is my favourite song from Periphery.
Been a big fan of Periphery for quite a few years, these guys are absolutely incredible. I've yet to see them live, but I'd love to one day. I absolutely love your reactions, you never disappoint. Keep it up my friend. 😎👍
Crap idk if my link disappeared but starts march 3rd in MD also will have loathe, if you search for underoath periphery 2023 tour metal injection has a full lost of dates
Periphery is an incredible artist. This is an entire story. About a stoner named Billy that saves the world from a reptilian alien invasion but dies in the end. The line "a grave is laid, a man within his cage" is still one of my favorites in all of music.
Ima need you read this and listen to a masterpiece, it's going to be one of the best metal songs of 2023.. "The Summoning" by Sleep Token. They have another great song in "Chokehold" but the first song is the REAL DEAL UNDENIABLE FLAME. I only say this because your channel is GOATED on this platform and I love the energy you bring in your videos and the guttural emotions you show!
Love this song and the album. Only song of this length I’ve ever heard that is just so utterly compelling and full of hooks from start to finish - whilst also being complex and heavy at the same time
Real talk, now that Chester's gone, I truly think that Spencer is the best thing we have in terms of being able to scream in key and flit back and forth from fry to throat singing, he's fantastic. And for the OGs, we've watched it happen over the years, he's improved so much.
Periphery has been one of my favorite bands for a while now, they are hopefully releasing a new album in the next few days. I hope you continue reacting to them because they have made some absolute bangers! Cheers!
@@mahockey3 Have they said march 10? Because they have been counting down on twitter for the last 5 days. I dont know what it is but thats what everyone is assuming.
@@icefire2231 it's probably for a single drop. Why would everyone think that it'll be an album when they haven't dropped a single song from it yet? Weird. I saw it on January 1st before they archived all the posts from their IG page.
@@mahockey3 Hm, that is a good possibility, however, knowing periphery, it could be literally anything that they are releasing tomorrow haha! Could be just a meme for all we know. I would not put it past them.
Bro love your reaction! That's how the title goes.. The reptile just like cameleon it changes colors = to periphery's djent transitions. The ups and downs off key tones are their trademark 🔥🔥🔥
It's funny you said "Stranger things?" at the end, as Periphery actually have a song called Stranger Things. It is the closing track on Juggarnaut: Omega, the second in a double album. It is also my favourite song, period. Also well worth a reaction.
You should check out Satellites by Periphery on the same album. It's a very beautiful and intense song, and as a big Periphery fan, I think it has one of the sickest peaks in a song I've ever heard, and everyone who has heard it knows exactly what I'm talking about. Easily one of Spencer's best vocal performances on a record, it's just nutty.
Periphery is one of my top 3 bands ever, and you’re getting into them just in time for their next album 🔥🔥🔥 they just dropped two singles today, either/ both would make a great video 👀
Spencer Sotelo: Absolute MONSTER of a vocalist. Beautiful singing voice too Misha Mansoor: Popularized a VERY niche brand of metal (progressive djent Matt Halpern: Unfathomably good drummer. Like scary good Mark Holcomb: Scary good guitarist that makes his riffs sound like solos, has his own line of guitars with Paul Reed Smith Jake Bowen: VERY versatile guitarist with his own solo project called 4SecondsAgo Adam "Nolly" Getgood: Basically the Victor Wooten of Progressive metal bass (Only studio recording, doesnt play live or tour with them really) This band is fucking STACKED. theyve been at the top of progressive metal for the past 15 years and will be for the forseeable future My absolute fav band
Ah yes, an old favorite band, Periphery brings the tasty grooves like you wouldn't believe. For some of their heavier and more techy fare, try MAKE TOTAL DESTROY by them. Scarlet is a fun melodic core track from that same album. Also, it's fucking criminal that TH-cam will put ads in the middle of songs on their website. Someone give their legal and business teams a swift kick in the balls, please.
Bury the light, pray through night! You buried that, buried that light! Now pray through night! That part is so good it makes you wanna slap your mama!
@20:21 "Stranger Things"? lol, nope... thats actually another one of their songs though! (I get that the synth pattern sounds like the shows theme song... but their song named Stranger Things is also fantastic)

Yo, I wouldn't have imagined a non-metalhead reacting to a 16min Periphery song, but thanks bro 😂
I think he has earned his “Metalhead” title after all the years of amazing content he has brought us. And I know he’s been to a fair share of live metal shows since all his exposure ✊🏻
The voice immaculate and the song a masterpiece. Periphery is slept on.
Periphery is massive lol, definitely not slept on.
Nah, their sound is just really messy
@@liammark96 I wouldn’t say it’s messy. Everything structurally makes sense and is done with intent. They aim for a more chaotic sound. From a technical perspective, Periphery is one of the greatest.
@@liammark96 lol what their sound is the opposite of messy. Everything is mixed and Writer to perfection.
They are prog, they are appropriate popularity level, the better thing to say is prog is slept on.
Definitely one of THE MOST well thought out album ever. The fact they start out the album with their most well thought out song, is straight up BEAUTIFUL!
The best part about this is that normally these longer songs close off the album, but in this case, it's the opener to the album so you get hit with this masterpiece right off the bat
Satellites forms the perfect closer to this album so a masterpiece intro and outro. Beautiful.
When I was in music school, and we were preparing for musical performances and stuff like that, they said that typically, the only songs that people remember are the first song in the set, and the last one. I think it's very important for any musician building an album to keep this in mind.
Spencer's vocal performance on this track is god tier.
I think Satellites is his best vocal performance ever, imo
@@ValkyrieLightwing both are god tier, but yeah satellites is such a perfect ending to this masterpiece of an album
@Dan Deller Weak troll attempt.
@@ValkyrieLightwingabsolomb
@ddv2.4he doesn't use it. Only on background vocals. They show recordings of him doing it live in studio, he's spot on
This band really is the Pink Floyd of modern metal imo. They just write masterpiece after masterpiece, really a class of their own.
Agreed ! A Complete journey
Dude, I saw them in 2019 when they played in Berlin and they opened their gig with this song. And they nailed it perfectly. Almost cried, so good.
I saw them as well in 2019 and it was one of if not the best day of my life so far. Absolutely incredible performance
Hamburg 2019 that Tour was superb.. hope reptile will still be an the setlist next time
i was at the same exact gig! it was phenomenal.. I even got to sing Lune with Spencer right in front of my face..
This is your best video to date! My man is having an out of body experience for 22 minutes and we love every minute of it!
The whole album is like an hour and 6mins. I used to work as an order picker in a food distribution warehouse and I would use this album as a timer on big orders. The whole thing is awesome. My favorite song is Garden In The Bones.
Check out Satellites by Periphery! Spencer's vocal delivery on that song is absolutely next level
Second this, I’d love to see his reaction when the song hits 😂
Couldn't agree more. He is incredible
So happy you decided to give periphery a look. Such a great and diverse band! Glad you liked it!
It's crazy to watch them play this song live from beginning to end! "Talented" is an understatement for these dudes.
I never thought of this track as cinematic, but you nailed it! It's a musical movie!
They opened their tour setlist a couple years ago with this song. It was a badass way to start the show.
Fun fact you mentioned Stranger Things. They have a song called Stranger Things, and it's another beauty.
This track along with Marigold and Habitual Line Stepper are my all time favorite Periphery songs. Rainbow Gravity, Hell Below, Bad Thing are also great.
Glad to see another P3 fan. Seems like that album gets overlooked but it’s my favorite of them all.
Marigold is amazing

I was thinking that too. Glad someone else confirmed for me thanks!
Hm, sounds like a chord change to me. And he is using a fuk ton of octaves. What key did they change to?
@@definitelynottigerwhitten5865 basically Misha writes weird chord progressions and Spencer tries to write a melody that fits to make it tie together and sound good
@@carloss.sounds yea, it's awesome. sounds like chords based around Gm to me.

So glad I requested this one, I’ll be requesting another one by them soon

What you are doing is very important. You influence people in a positive way. I love it . keep it up
Every Periphery song is an absolute journey man, you are heading down an amazing path!
The problem with a masterpiece like reptile is that it is setting the bar for every song you'll ever write afterward.
And I'm not a fan of their new album because of it 😢

I saw Periphery before the pandemic started. What an experience. Hope it comes around for you soon, my guy.
That pause @13:31 knowing whats coming.... I actually yelled at my screen.
I am jealous of the ride you are about to go on with your dive into Periphery. Fantastic musicians.
Rumor has it that Periphery is dropping two new songs Monday
Say you swear👀 new sleep token was immaculate plus periphery😵💫
They’re dropping two singles tomorrow. Jan 12th
Periphery is an incredible artist. This is an entire story. About a stoner named Billy that saves the world from a reptilian alien invasion but dies in the end. The line "a grave is laid, a man within his cage" is still one of my favorites in all of music.
So glad you finally found Periphery. Never to be slept on again!
One of my all time favorite songs, just a rollercoaster of a ride.
One of my favorite Periphery songs. So exciting to watch someone go through the rollercoaster that is this track for the first time. Awesome video.
If you thought this song was insane, Periphery just released a new song called Wildfire and that definitely needs a reaction video!

Not the song i would have picked for you to react to, but still an amazing song from my favorite band. Good to see ya back mang!!
Your reaction to this is my favorite of all time.
Love your appreciation brother
one of the best bands on the planet. people don't respect their musicianship enough
I don’t know if it’s been suggested but on your own time or on here you gotta check out Racecar. Original reptile. That’s what got me into these guys.
"Movie inside of a song" absolutely accurate lol
Such a brilliant song
NEW SINGLE SLEEP TOKEN - CHOKEHOLD, THE SUMMONING!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!
The summoning🔥🔥🔥
Man looks like he’s in tears lol pure joy
Bro i cant belive you actually listened to the whole track. mad respect!
This man really slapped himself with his own keyboard over sleeping on Periphery 😂
It puts a goofy smile on my face to see more of the culture experience Periphery. And starting off with Reptile of all songs is no small feat.
My favourite song by them! Absolute banger!

Thank music for Periphery 😊
Bury the light, pray through night!
You buried that, buried that light!
