INFO: Periphery is an american progressive rock band formed in Washington D.C. in 2005. Over the years the band has proved to be one of the prime movers of the so called djent genre, although many would simply label them progressive metal or progressive metalcore. The band has released six studio albums and all of them were self-produced by the band members themselves. Their latest album Periphery IV: Hail Stan just released earlier this month and they’ve become quite creative with their video uploads. There’s a full documentary about the album’s creative and recording process on their youtube channel. And more than that, they also run their own label now. In this video we’ll talk about their discography, band members and a few background stories to get you up to date with the band
What rock band/artist should be next?
alice in chains pls
Parkway Drive
Spacemen 3
Understanding Rishloo!
THE POLICE
No mention of Matt Halpern... Shame on you.
Yeah I thought the same. Like ummmmmmmm where’s Matt? His face is there 😂
@Veredika ...and who are you?
No clue if its him but periphery had a singer with the last name veridika a long time ago
@@mellindrums Jake Veredika. He was one of the vocalists they used before Spencer.
Yaa shame on this guy
Hey, this is the band with V-Sauce as the bassist
Sadly, he's no longer the active bassist in the band... but he still works in the band as the producer...
funnily enough, i think he used to study astrophysics (if i'm not wrong) before dropping out to focus on music
But they have charlie day as their vocalist
Seab The Doggo Well, not active to the extent that he does not practice or tour with them. He still records bass as he did on Hail Stan
That's not Michael from V-Sauce lmao it's 'Nolly' GetGood
2 things I'd add:
Djent was indeed influenced by Meshuggah but also the far lesser known Sikth, especially when it comes to the style that Periphery performs.
Also Misha used to play in a band with Tosin Abasi and the founder of Sumerian Records Ash Avildsen. Jake Bowen is John Petrucci's nephew by the way.
Nap-0 Misha and Tosin, god damn
Also... Matt Halpern.... embarrassing not to mention the drummer.
@@americanmetalhead7318 probably a good thing theyre all in respective bands i think my brain would explode
CMIIW, but as far as I can remember Misha has never played in Reflux. However, Evan Brewer was a member of Reflux alongside Tosin and Ash.
Matt's the best drummer in metal hands down
I can verify, HAIL STAN is a mastapiece
jaredy18 And I can verify that you are right.
MASTAPEACE indeed.
I'm not feeling 2-3 songs, but overall it's another fucking awesome Periphery release. I love it.
Heellll yeah by far every record is getting better
I can't get enough. Reptile is my new favorite Periphery song
Pretty informative, but how did you make it through this entire video without even mentioning Matt Halpern?! You kinda totally glossed over the amazing drumming.
Yeah, but he made sure to insinuate that Periphery basically stole their sound from Meshuggah.
@@gregoryl.levitre9759 How did he do that? I think you're taking it a little weird here
dude Matt is incredible.
Because he basically just read out the Wikipedia article which doesn't really mention Matt either
There is someone named Adam Getgood. I've heard it all now
Funny thing is, he was the best guitar player in the band
My man Nolly is the best Periphery's member. Yes, _he is,_ 'cause even if he's no longer an active member, he still works for the band, as producer and studio bassist.
I remember reading a football player named drinkwater 🤦
@@ieatyourbrain8478 we had a tennis player called "Henri Cochet", which sounds exactly like En Ricochet in French.
He has his own TH-cam channel. I think it's called VSauce or something.
Can you do animals as leaders? Since Misha has worked with tosin abasi In the past I think it'd be cool to also do a video on them.
yes please!
Ouh a lot of people are requesting this! And i'm a big fan of them myself, so it will most likely happen. Can't promise it's in the close close future tho
Misha also helped in a huge way with tosin’s first album of animals as leaders
@@LieLikesMusic 1 year later and theres no video abt it
You forgot to mention when the great Matt Halpern joined them on drums
I know right! Matt is a beast.
Matt is amazing. If you guys haven't seen it yet (wtf why not), go check out his drum playthrough for Lune. He puts so much emotion into it and it is incredible.
I'm so lucky to have picked up on this band right when they put out P1 way back in 2011. I have been obsessed with every album they've put out since and it's been amazing to watch them grow. Their music is a part of me now.
Same here
Same here! I saw them open for Dream Theater back in 2012. They blew the crowd away!! I've been a fan ever since that show.
first song I heard was "Icarus lives" when the video came out. It's so good to see how periphery evolved over time and how they keep bringing up new ideas and content. :) I still can listen to P1 and every album got its pearls. Never regretted listening to them :)
That's so sick bro. Music is a beautiful thing 😁✌️
Understanding Meshuggah?
shotgun wedding that’s a feat no one can achieve currently
Maybe maybe. I have a bit of homework to do if i ever choose to talk about them.
@@LieLikesMusic ta din tid, hade varit intressant!
@@LieLikesMusic get on it!!!?
They've actually mentioned that one of their biggest influences is SikTh
it really shows on blood eagle. sotelo's vocals seem like a direct call out to Sikth's style
@@blitheringape5321 Mikee Goodman did the spoken word section in that song
that was on reptile
Meshugga are more of an influence but sikth definitely on hail Stan shines through
Ran into Adam "nolly" at a sikth gig last year, so you're not wrong. He produced/recorded their last album I believe.
Whoever hasn't listened to the Clear EP yet, you're doing yourself a disservice. Listen to it fully and you'll be amazed. Every time I listen to it, I want it to last longer!
What's your little ranking?
Mine is
1: Parade Of Ashes
2.Pale Aura
3.Summer Jam
4.Feed The Ground
5.Overture
6.Extraneous
7. Zero
@@TMmodify Fuck, that's a hard question. I'd have to think about it really hard, but in each song there's at least a part that I LOVE.
Also the icarus album too. Frak the gods is epic and so is captain on
@@TMmodify parade of ashes sucks. Pale aura is clearly the best. How dare you suggest otherwise. And how could you put zero last? What is wrong with you lol
@@HugoStiglitz88 well clearly the thing wrong with me is that 1 I have different tastes from you 2 if I wanted to listen to shit like Zero in 2013-14 I'd listen to the Bulb demos that weren't good enough to be made into Periphery songs
Understanding Opeth or Steven Wilson
I second this
YES
YES OH MY GOD
This is quality content indeed!
Understanding Devin Townsend/Strapping Young Lad
Yessssss
It should go to mention that everything they've done to promote HAIL STAN, the guitar playthroughs, studio updates, even the hour-long documentary, they did for Select Difficulty a couple years ago.
What about drummer Matt Halpern and his skills and performance?
leaving out one of the most important members
Yeah I was waiting for a part about him. He's an incredible drummer.
Yea I thought Matt was there since the debut?
@@DragonKnightX12 I believe he joined up with the band after Travis Orbin left, he's been around since P1
The only guy who can break 3 cymbals with one swing of the stick
How about Polyphia or Chon next?
P2 wasn't entirely selfproduced. My man Taylor Larson did the majority of it
*Taylor
Only P1 and P3 were entirely self produced for that matter
@@JKGuitarPro You're right, i constantly mispell his name lmao
😂
actually he just helped mix it. As far as the actual recording goes they've always done it themselves. They outsource some aspects to Nolly, and other producers like the orchestral sections, but the majority of the process happens at misha's and Nolly's house
YOU DID PERIPHERY, I’M SCREAMING!!!
Are you still screaming my dude?
I was surprised that he covered Periphery, a pleasant surprise
Would you wanna do Dance Gavin Dance? Im going to see Periphery open up for them next week
Is it the Artificial Selection Tour with Covet and Don Broco? I just went on the 3rd. Awesome show. Especially DB whom I never heard of.
Me too man. In MI 😎
Enigma Don Broco and DGD are probably my two favorite bands rn, so it’s sooo not a tour to miss
Lucky bastards. Have fun, guys. :)
Hope you had fun!! Saw then last week on April 12 NYC. I've never heard of Don Broco before but I'm now a fan after seeing them live.
Periphery 2 was produced by Taylor Larson
Everything periphery touches turns to gold
I love the band even if I don't listen to their music that often. When I do, I am always really impressed with the musicianship and production. Remain Indoors: The Making of Select Difficuilty is a really good watch.
Periphery has been one of my favorite bands since 2016, I never knew ragnarok had a music video.
I was super confused until went back and realized I did know that. It's just live footage stitched together of each of them during playthroughs they posted separately, plus extra live footage.
If you're into TesseracT, Meshuggah, and Animals as Leaders, you're DEFINITELY into Periphery! Hail Stan! \m/
Not into any of those. Just periphery
@@chimricholds1910 you should check these bands out, you won't be disappointed! I'd start with TesseracT if I were you.
@@rmr5044 Completely with you, I only listen to instrumental periphery.
@@samvictor6084 I remember finding out about Tesseract. After coming from Periphery I was expecting harsh vocals like Spencer's growls, but met completely clean ones. It took a while to absorb all cleans coupled with djent, but tesseract has been added to my list as well.
TesseracT is my favorite band but I don't like Meshuggah and Periphery.
What I love is that the band progresses their style so well, while still maintaining their signature sound. All their songs are pretty much metal but none of them sound that similar at all, except the ones that are supposed to like the stuff from Alpha, Omega ofc.
I love these guys and they deserve everything they've achieved.
This was perfectly timed, I saw them last night
Also how Periphery grew so well from their first album to their latest. From straight up Djent to something so much more groovy and unique.
My all time favorite band, absolutely love these guys.
Understanding Mudvayne (L.D. 50 especially, that album HAS to be talked about).
*L.D. 50* is the pinaccle of nu metal, when said genre stopped being just a _"goofy term"_ in the eyes of music elitists, and became an actual art movement with great potential.
@chrisataurY2K The self titled album (2009) is up there with first 2.
@chrisataurY2K yeah, man, I liked all the songs except one. Heard It All Before is obviously a highlight of the album in my opinion. That song is perfect.
@chrisataurY2K Hm, quite smart of you to assume that, I've never thought of it and now I can unhear the similarity. Both are slow, kinda grim and slimey sounding. I just love that drum transition with the mysterious delayed guitar before the second verse. Excellent musicianship from their side indeed.
@chrisataurY2K About 6-7 months ago guitarist Greg Tribbet said that Mudvayne reunion "will eventually happen". He said that around the time Vinnie Paul of Hellyeah died.
I believe he's right, because there is no apparent continuation for HellYeah without the drummer, however, it is too awkward and/or early for the reunion talk even right now, cuz Hellyeah is said to release an album soon.
By the way, Chad Gray replied to my comment once. I praised the "Not Falling" song and he seemed pretty grateful of Mudvayne's success.
I honestly liked them when hearing the original demos with their original singer.
Four Seconds Ago was created during their time with working on Periphery IV (Jake and Misha were inspired); Haunted Shores lives on spiritually through Periphery, with instrumentals being reused on Periphery albums; Periphery is just an evolution of Bulb (think of Misha as one Power Ranger; Megazord = Periphery).
I'm going to say something that I cannot say about any other band: Every single Periphery song good. Every. Single. Song.
Don't care which song you land on, they are ALL amazing. If you haven't checked them out, do it. The amount of pure talent in this band is just fucking amazing.
And you know what else is fucking amazing? Meshuggah. They have no mediocre tracks. ALL of them are amazing.
god i so wish you used the "we're not listening to ourselves" part at 6:51
anyway, i was so excited when watching this video. periphery is my favourite band of all time
Periphery are a progression of a British band called Sikth with a bit of Meshuggah on top. The even guested on each other's records in the last two years. Give them a listen, really.
I'd give anything for another album I love as much as P2.
I love that they did a cover of FF7 prelude bombfare. Plus I’ll occasionally listen to Haunted Shores, which Mark has used some of the tracks for periphery
Understanding King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
word
In that case, time for a 45 minute long video.
The old days of Sevenstring.org were amazing. I remember stumbling upon Misha's work and being enamored by his writing, and I've followed them ever since. It's been a long time since 2008.
It's not just what _they_ called the "Summer Slaughter Tour", that was the name of the tour.
Awesome video man!
If I can suggest something, you should do Understanding Daughters
Got myself a ticket for the periphery tour this year today! Can't wait
Ryan Wainwright wow lucky!!!
that bleed riff still gets me every time
Periphery have released five studio albums. Juggernaut Alpha and Omega is a double album that is one package.
You could buy it in a single package but you could also buy it in 2
Also there's clear.
_Clear_ is an EP, just like _Icarus._
@@miserirken it's 30 minutes and 7 tracks, so pretty fucking long for an EP,plus I believe the guys themselves said that it shouldn't be seen as an EP
@@TMmodify It's recorded as a package, and they share a name, and are also refered to as a unit, so I think it counts as one.
Also, Clear is most definitely an EP.
Understanding Northlane man... They have a pretty simple history, but I feel as if some fans won't be familiar with the fact that they managed to re-earn the love of their fans back after switching their vocalist and sound at the height of their career.
From what I remember, Northlane picked the most controversial vocalist (Marcus, at the time) over many other fan favorite vocalists and this caused a lot of backlash in their community because they hosted the audition performances publicly. Although he provided a completely different sound, I and many others were blown away by the sheer incredible versatility and improvement in his vocal performances and quickly become idolized and respected for his talent.
You can say Fredrik Thordendal in my ear all day.
Understanding the fall of Troy
Understanding Cult of Luna's Vicarious Redemption
i like the fact the you show "it only smile" for the album Hail stan
Misha is a hero for spreading his knowledge!
I personally was shocked by Hail Stan. Wasn't big on past albums at all, which is funny since prog metalcore / djent / prog in general's my favorite genre. My favorite band, Erra's, a prog metalcore/djent band, I love Born of Osiris, Veil of Maya, Vildhjarta, Invent Animate, Animals as Leaders, Chon, etc. Yet new Periphery. Hail Stan was fantastic. I reviewed it and it actually ended up getting a 9/10. Fantastic fucking album. :)
7:31 and now they'll be playing together in _Chile_ of all places, i feel so lucky about that, i'll be able to see both *Periphery* _and_ *Monuments* in the same stage the same night. Nice!
Periphery is the epitome of modern metal music.
Understanding Jason Richardson next please 🤘🏼🙏🏼
Love Periphery
correction: bulb wasn't a solo project at first, it was misha's previous band. but the name stuck and people thought bulb was just misha, so he adopted it later on
they made an hour long documentary for P3 too. it's called remain indoors
understanding Hail the Sun. they’re not as big as some of the other bands you make videos on, but their music is completely worth it
An important fact is that Jake Bowen is John Petrucci's nephew. I'm not saying John pushed their careers they are awesome anyway. I just found that fact interesting. To hear them play together is very cool. There's a video where they interview each other and they talk about being related. John taught Jake some but Jake is naturally talented.
Misha was also heavily involved in Tosin Abasi's debut Animals as Leaders album.
Hail Stan is AMAZING.
Dingus The Bingus so is your name
Highly recommend people to listen chocolate croissant podcast, where matt and misha goes deep dive into peripherys history
Also missed their Icarus lives ep where they collaborated with many people in the music industry remixing their single Icarus lives (including dubstep artists) and using it to release a previous haunted shores song under the periphery brand with Spencer singing.
you should update this now as there is a new album now
I going to steal this from Become the Knight, but I would describe Spencer Sotelo as an extremely expensive pop singer that can sing metal.
Understanding Coheed and Cambria!!!
well i guess it was a perfect time to subscribe to you when i did. this was a great thing to wake up to
What on earth was that? You didn't mention the great Matt Halpern even once. Don't you think that is a bit rude to him as a person and bandmember of Periphery since 2010 and his skill and passion on drums?
Neat video! I was a little surprised that the last time the drummer was mentioned was Travis replacing Jason (~3:06), with no mention of Travis leaving before the debut album to be replaced by the illustrious You Know Who
SO glad they found Spencer!!!!!! Chris was good too! Thanks to this vid I found him and he had some good tones :) Spencer all the way, tho!
Can never get enough of your videos, do you ever think you will do a video on Ariel Pink?
Pet sounds/Beach Boys/understanding Brian Wilson
Been a fan since bulb on the forums, still have my old bulb demos, my favorite album is still Periphery II
Periphery is amazing! Listen to hail stan now!
Understanding DFA 1979
Periphery!!!🖤🖤
d j e n t
Understanding opeth next?
Hell yes
The biggest inspiration for me 👌🏼
Put this on 1.25x speed, thank me later. Dude, great video but you talk awfully slow.
You just have adhd. Normal speed is quite comfortable
Ooh I have never heard of Bulb before.
1. Why didn't you talk about Halpern. 2. This is really small but you should've mentioned the fact that Select Difficulty was originally supposed to be an EP
This is more like an extended biography of the band, though you did a good job at that.
You should make another episode called ' Understanding "Nolly left the band" '
Impossible to understand
This was awesome!!!
No one ever mentions Tom Murphy. And I don’t think he ever actually mentioned Halpern
This video is all over the place with timelines and data. Stuff like Murphy, Halpern, "This Tour it's Personal" being called that because of P2's album name, the timeline of Nolly and Jeff Holcomb, when they did docs (they did ones for Juggernaut and P3 as well), Haunted Shores and Four Secs Ago's involvement in Misha's life (and Mark/Jake's lives too respectively)... and heaps more
understanding a day to remember
YES
I reccomend one on stone temple pilots
I don't know how to feel about this band.
I've seen them live, small venue so I could really look and take note on their performance.
It was great.
Loud, started out with scarlet.... went through their new album, not stan but last one.....
I think they are talented, and treat their fans right. Aka free music and will drop albums for all to listen not immediately buy.
No mention of bassist Tom Murphy? He played on P1
At 12:06 whose band is the 3rd album ? (the one after the meshuggah) i have listen to it somewhere but i can remember anything.
Would love 'Understanding Father John Misty.'
Great video!
Never forget when i as teen discovered misha and bulb. Later then the first prfifri. Neva fogettti
One does not simply understand Periphery.
Periphery understands you.
Good choice!!
Do an video on Electric Light Orchestra
