It's okay, I accept your apology. And if you seriously consider us to be the Justin Timberlake of Metal, I will take that as a huge compliment, that dude owns! Thanks for the kind words dude!
I think in every single interview where people ask about the origin of the word i have credited it to Meshuggah and Fredrik Thordendal. I picked it up on the Meshuggah Forums way back in the day, and i have only ever known Djent to refer to a palm mute, not a genre. I started using it casually to describe tone and i think a lot of people misunderstood it to be a style or genre which it wasn't. But just for the record: I did not invent Djent, and i did not coin the term. -misha
FUCK!!! Every single time I hear this song I am like : " YOU FUCKING SON OF A BITCH SPENCER SOTELO WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING AWESOME AND INHUMAN????" These vocals are like ten times further than impossible. Light years away from the progress of humanity!! How the FUCK can you do so AWESOME vocals??? GOD DAMN YOU -_- !!!!
I am a late convert, but I am absolutely falling in love with every song this band has written, with this one, quite possibly, being my favorite. Such an amazing, amazing band.
laber mich nicht zu In terms of skill, yes, but sometimes simplicity is the best way to create something magical. That part just ties the whole song together, and in itself is very triumphant.
Misha said himself that Meshuggah invented djent. Misha also happens to be one of the most down to Earth musicians out there right now, he connects with his fans all the time. Long live Periphery and Justin Timberlake.
His live vocals are terrific. He has improved so much as a vocalist. Plus, with no pitch correction on the main vocal lines, I think he can pull it off live also.
I think it's fair to say that one will listen to the recorded version of a song far more frequently than they will hear it live. Modern recording and editing techniques make it possible to make each word and each beat absolutely perfect, and Periphery are ambassadors for perfect production. I must have listened to the new album 100 times, and not for a second do I wish it was any less perfect, no matter how they went about achieving that perfection.
Actually, Misha Mansoor was also in Haunted Shores. They both were the guitarists and all the tracks they made sounded like this. This is definitely one of the better instrumentals/demos they had going. Spencer did a track or two along with Elliot Coleman and Mike Semesky. I'm so glad this is a Periphery song now.
I had the same problem but the other way around. I was very oldschool haha. I hated screaming/growls but I adapted and started gaining a taste for growling because they just sound so aggressive and heavy. Goes to show you what can happen if you just broaden your musical horizon.
***** It's weird you said that.. A few days ago I was listening to After the Burial's Nine Summers and it reminded me a lot of Sonic Adventures and Street Fighter. Something about the guitar at about 1 min in.
+The Cerulean Effulgent Solo Projects (OFFICIAL) Ha yeah this is the song that got me into periphery, then I listened to 22 Faces and that song made love this band.
Why do we need to compare Periphery to any bands? Periphery is Periphery. They're the most unique and coolest band Ive ever heard. Theres no one to compare them to.
Dude, only like 2% of any kind of band ever (especially metal) sound as good live as they do in studio. That's just how it works. By the way, Spencer did this album with ZERO pitch correction. When he isn't layering vocals, that's EXACTLY how he sounds live.
How much i liked their old stuff.. How much i love their new stuff too.. This album must be the best album i've heard in my whole life. I can see it too, how much they all have improved. :)
I was drawn to this track for the amazing guitar riffs but the more I listen to it, the more I'm taken in by the amazing vocal melodies and the superb lyrics. I love this song!
We all know that Periphery is a progressive metal band truly, but this song (and the album itself at points!) has some definite post-hardcore essence, and they rock hard at it! I like the elements that were on this album, I'm glad they're evolving and exploring their sound.
Not one comment on this video that i have seen just simply says that was one of peripherys BEST SONG EVER and i hope that they keep it up like this KEEP EM COMING!!!
Exactly what I was thinking, but also...I think we just shouldn't really care what the people who dislike it think. They didn't give it a good enough chance like you said.
i used to listen to the original version a lot from Haunted Shores. I fell in love for it and now i have another reason to listen to it Damn, periphery made this song sound so much better and Spencers vocals? OMFG, he rocks in this!
However, you can judge a chef on theory of food while you have none. You can only judge the taste that you can't even comprehend. If you knew about the theory of music, and then listened to these guys, you would be blown away, but you're too busy asking if it "sounds good."
