There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if you're listening to metal in 2012, you have at least heard of Periphery before. Exactly how you feel about the band that Bulb birthed* might vary, and might have a lot to do with how you feel about this whole "djent" thing they're one of the leading purveyors of, but I know you know who they are. They just released their second full length, Periphery II: This Time It's Personal, and they're on the Summer Slaughter tour alongside the likes of The Faceless and Between the Buried and Me. Oh yeah, did I mention that all three of these bands are playing Sunday at Heavy TO?
But back to Periphery. Your song today is "Scarlet" from the aforementioned Periphery II. Between this new album and their first one, Periphery has a bunch of cool tunes I could have chosen, but I went with this one for the catchy (if not the most original) riff and for Spencer Sotelo's great vocal performance, which at times is very reminiscent of Rody Walker from Protest the Hero. Give it a listen and see what you think of Periphery.
While I'm in the process of commenting on my own stuff to keep you up to date, check out the new video for this song. Ketchup or Mustard, kids?
