    5.0 out of 5 stars Breakthrough Album Of The Year, April 22, 2010

    This review is from: Periphery (MP3 Download)
    Formed back in 2005 Periphery is a band many have been waiting patiently to release their first full length album. 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. Whether it be the chugging riffs or the constantly epic flowing leads it is in fact the guitars that drive this machine. The leads go from chaotic tapping to melodic acoustics and back to the strange time signature riffs in seconds. And the breakdown/solo's are excellent.

    Drummer and skin master Matt Halpern deserves significant recognition for... Read more

    This review is from: Periphery (Audio CD)
    This album on first listen just feels like something is missing. And i can tell you that i felt that way for at least 2 or 3 listens through. And what i realized is that the same thing happens when anything new is introduced to you but is too much for you to comfortably grasp and enjoy at that time.

    Then after continuing to listen (The incredible musicianship on this album is unlike anything i have ever heard and is enough to keep anyone listening), something clicked. This happens alot, especially with any thing progressive. We need to digest what we're hearing and this simply can't be done with one listen (especially on this debut where so much is going on).

    The first three tracks, Insomnia, The Walk, and Letter Experiment, feature beastly polyrhythms that will sensually make love to your ear drums through to your cerebellum. Plenty of fantastic licks and fills and rhythm changes continually keep your more than amused as move through these tracks. The singing is... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, September 8, 2011
    This review is from: Periphery (Audio CD)
    This band is simply amazing! One of the first mainstream Djent bands, Periphery shakes the world with its first album release. The technicality of 3 guitarists along with singer Spencer Stoleto, bring this band up on par with Dream Theater.

    Any fan of progressive metal, or Djent will really enjoy this band. I highly recommend them!
