    Wildfire is incredible, but Zagreus is just another level. Especially the melodic/anthemic part after the solo is pure goosebumps

      I’ve been playing Hades right now, so the name Zagreus already gave me that metal gear solid **!**
      Looking at the album song names, the last one is “Thanks Nobuo” 😂 expecting some Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger nods in there

      ​@@igorqmoreira I was the opposite; I had Hades sitting in my library untouched for the longest time, but listening to this song made me finally sit down and play it. I must've spent 4-5 days straight playing it, I absolutely fell in love with that game. Super excited for the sequel!

  • @sweettangoTIMMY
    @sweettangoTIMMY ปีที่แล้ว +8

    What I love about the song is that at 7:20, they include the sound effect when Zagreus, the main character in the game "Hades," dies. Definitely the inspiration for the song, and it's an amazing touch

    • @yuugur666
      @yuugur666 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also plays when Hades dies. It's a sound of both success and failure.

    • @Short_Potato

    @amytt1996 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    I guess the only "con" we might have for both the singles is attached to the prog idea, basically. It's not very beginner friendly and may be very hard to keep up if you're new to this world. With that being said, the songs are straight bangers and Zagreus is my favorite one.

    • @Sonic_Kirbo
      @Sonic_Kirbo ปีที่แล้ว +10

      That’s what I love about these songs, it takes more than one listen to catch everything and for them to really hook into you, these are awesome tracks.

    • @flufficornss
      @flufficornss ปีที่แล้ว +4

      that isnt necessarily a con since not everything can be for everyone, and by trying to make it so it wouldn't be the same song

    • @AllOutOfEnemies1

    Damn that poppy section in the middle kinda reminds me of old school pop punk. Panic at the disco kind of stuff
    And the outro is very very Starset. Very Starset. Add some synths that feel like they're transporting you to space and then it's basically a Starset outro

  • @codybeinert1109

    Periphery is a band that I respect more than I regularly enjoy I guess. I don't know if it's necessarily because I find their music that challenging or anything, but I for whatever reason cannot get into Spencer's voice, even though I thoroughly appreciate his range, passion, and creativity as a vocalist. Still looking forward to this album though, it will definitely be one of 2023's most interesting prog metal albums for sure.
    Also, DJACKET

    • @Ana7hema
      @Ana7hema ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Strangely that's how I feel too. Spencer is a great vocalist, one of the most impressive. His performance on Satellites is crazy to hear. Still, I'm not a fan of his way of singing, of delivering words. It depends on the songs. I'm listening to their albums currently and they are many songs that got my attention more than others.

      im in the same boat. i was a huge periphery fan when i was first getting into metalcore, but after hearing vocalists from bands like invent and currents etc. i just can’t help but feel like is screaming technique is just kinda…..bad? idk you can hear the strain in his voice, how hard he struggles to get them out. his screams sound like nails on a chalkboard uncomfortable almost lol.
      his lows though were new, they weren’t bad tbh
