The production on this track is insane. Every time a new Periphery album comes out it sets a benchmark for metal production quality, at least in my opinion.
Fully agree. They’re a great band for drummers testing the waters for new time signatures just through listening to a song for maybe 1 to 2 weeks you can then tap your foot to a signature you have never tried before also as a guitarist I’ve found some awesome chord progressions, Reptile will, I think forever be the pinnacle of production and the genre of metal. The way they compiled an album into the first song of which it was representing was astonishing. They always manage to change your emotions which was especially demonstrated in this with the ending, the fact they can switch GENRES successfully more than once in a song to not only set the tone but also creat a vibe for an entire album is crazy. I could go on all day about how great this band is.
So excited for this album. This song was released with another single at the same time. Don't know if there's a video but definitely check out the other one!
me on release: I dunno... it's so dissonant. It's jarring... do I even like it? me 10 mins later: I'M BURNING LIKE WIIIIIIILDFIIIIIIREEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You had Sleep Token going randomly funky with The Summoning and now Periphery randomly adding Jazz to Wildfire. I really think bands are being influenced by Bilmuri and really going out there mixing genres in a way you wouldn't think would work.
@@Roguenjosh Ah, yes, been meaning to check them out. Btw, have you listened to the other Periphery track that dropped (Zagreus)? That one arguably slaps even harder than Wildfire.
same shit like the last album. production quality gets every year higher thats true, but there are no iconic riffs like marigold, icarus lives, passenger or or or.
I've been saying it for years, I love Periphery musically but, Spencer's vocals hold them back. Not that he isn't a good singer but, nothing he sings is interesting or catchy at all. Their first album was great but, that's because most of the lyrics and melodies were written by the other singers that were in the band before him. Nothing has compared since.
On the contrast, I think he is one of the best vocalists alive. I don't think his lyrics typically have as much substance or emotion as say sleep token, but I think he's a perfect fit for Periphery
I disagree. I'm a slut for catchy and interesting choruses/vocal parts and Periphery always scratches that itch for me. Wildfire in particular is one of the most interesting and oddly catchy choruses I've heard in a bit.

100% agree, them and buster from vildhjarta/HLB. They always raise the bar for production
@@daveb4mv thank you for this comment, HLD and Buster has made some absolutely RIDICULOUS tones and mix. I love it.
The vocal note progression of the chorus was so strange my first listen, but now is my favorite part. Oddly addictive
An acquired taste for sure, but one that pays off

The intro breakdown goes fucking crazy, the guitar slide + drum fill combo made me crowd kill my drywall.
The callbacks to the Juggernaut albums are what take it over the top for me. The Event, Four Lights ... I'm fiending for the full release now.
And the call out to Stranger Things too!!!!
@@iworshipTreCool12 Oh man I missed it! Gonna have to listen for it now!
@@tonyi8045 theres a bunch of lyrical references too, like Kill me slowly reperencing kill them slow, and one-way road being used in both as well
Misha unleashed his inner Fredrik Thordendal in his solo, and holy hell what a song
Jorgen Munkeby's sax solo hits it home for me, can't wait for the rest of the album
I love it more everytime I hear it
Further cementing their spot as one of my favorite bands!

I don't know why they didnt include the orchestral outro in the music video
Finally a genuine reaction to the song.
I appreciate that!
Thanks broo!)))
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad to see your reactions dude, thanks for your content! 😍
Hey Josh, zagreus is the other single they released, really good as well.

Periphery adding jazz is not really random. There were quite a few jazz sections in Juggernaut
They just keep getting better
Forgot that he's on the literal other side of the world when he said Jan 13th and I'm over here in Texas at 6:26pm on Jan 12th haha
Spencer will always be one of the best vocalists ever. The dude can do it all.
Love this band and love this channel ❤🍻🤘🏻
4:08 i dont see any song beating this as the breakdown of 2023 for me
That Bono look tho
What other stuff from this year are you referring to?
Sleep token, mind blowing!
@@Roguenjosh Ah, yes, been meaning to check them out. Btw, have you listened to the other Periphery track that dropped (Zagreus)? That one arguably slaps even harder than Wildfire.
Quite a journey to go on upon waking haha
Opening song for the album, so you know
Nice
aussies woke up Sadeg
forsen
Tbh I liked the other song more, this one is still a banger tho
same shit like the last album. production quality gets every year higher thats true, but there are no iconic riffs like marigold, icarus lives, passenger or or or.
It is still Jan 12 you must be crazy bro
DJENT IS NOT A GENRE

same stupid comment
His choices in P3 feel a lot more pop oriented and I find them catchy in a very unique way
On the contrast, I think he is one of the best vocalists alive. I don't think his lyrics typically have as much substance or emotion as say sleep token, but I think he's a perfect fit for Periphery
Completely disagree, Spencer is a perfect fit
