I am one of those people, having followed the band for a couple years now and seen them live twice I can honestly say this band could be "The Next Big Thing" in the Metal industry. Opening for well known acts like DevilDriver, God Forbid and Fear Factory it goes without saying that the band's following has only gotten larger.Spencer Sotelo's style of vocals might be a bit odd at times but overall this is a very.. Very minuscule offset to some of the best musicianship i have heard by a newer group in years.

One of the first mainstream Djent bands, Periphery shakes the world with its first album release.

I highly recommend them! |
