Periphery w/ Chris Barretto - Light 

Laughing at Jakes hair

Love this version, but I'm glad we have Spencer in periph, and Chris is monuments.

listening to this, it makes sense why Spencer sounded a bit croaky in the screams, emulating Chris' exact screams which he probably isnt used to doing. but he has vastly improved on his own

WOw this guy isnt half bad. i really like it, but Spencer has that periphery look and his clean vocals are just there

From what Bulb says about Chris' behaviour, I'm very happy that Spencer is in the band.

I like chris because hes just a "Heavier" singer like a deeper tone and more brutal screams but Spence has a higher range and has improved so much since their first album that it makes up for the Mediocre singing on the first releases

I don’t think I could associate him with Periphery, but his voice is phenomenal. I would love to hear some of his other stuff.

I think it's obvious that the debut Periphery had to have no vocals at all, and not just because I heard all the demos of all tracks back in 2008 and got used to the instrumental versions. The debut album was a lot about tech-y and groovy things that already sounded outstanding without the vox. You can listen to this album for months being amazed by its complexity and melody. The vocals performed on this album by ANYONE would be just overflowing and redundant. Both Chris and Spencer have gained more vocal skills through time, and Spencer is fantastic on Periphery II, just as Barretto on the Monuments' Amanuensis, so, I think there's nothing to be regretful about at the moment.

Barreto's fantastic.. what a voice!

Funny thing is, Baretto could wreck this song nowadays. Go listen to I the Destroyer by Monuments... That high note in the last chorus, same exact note as the end of Ragnarok

Disclaimer: may not contained all band members as advertised.

If you could find a vocalist with Spencer's singing and Barretto's screams that'd be perfect.

I was bound to be in Monuments

if you listen to the latest periphery stuff with spencer you´ll notice how much he has improved. i employ everybody to listen to their cover on metallica´s "one". he sing and screams very good in it. i think his high singing range really complements their songs. it adds a more dreamy atmosphere.

I really wish there was more of P1 available with Chris' takes.

2017 y sonando increíble!!

I can't believe I haven't heard this yet! This is pretty good!

You can really hear the baritone strain on the highs in the chorus, haha xD Dude's improved immensely though, his vocals for Ever Forthright and Friend For A Foe are unbelievable. Spencer and Casey definitely fit this band more, but neither of them would be able to do what this guy does in EF. Truly a unique and versatile musician

ROPE IN YOUR EYEEEEESSSS!!!!!

Dude I remember hearing this on a Sumerian compilation way back in like 2010, I think it was the summer sampler 09.

I am a big fan of Spencer, but I have to admit that Chris sounds better to my ears on this track. I mean, it makes sense, this was probably written with his vocals in mind. In the scheme of things, I think there couldn't be a more fitting frontman for Periphery than Sponce, but Chris is definitely a beast on the mic.

Gotta give props to this Chris guy.. Good cover man!

The drums were played by Matt on an electric kit hooked up to the Superior 2.0 samples. Matt basically took what Misha had already programmed and improved on it :)

Don't forget about the versions with Jake, which are freaken awesome.

great fucking song! thank you Chris Barretto for dropping these vocals, definitly perfect for this song. hell yeah.

@SuperchargedXX Thank you... the man switches bands so fast I can't be expected to keep this shit up to date. XD

In my opinion, there are some songs I prefer with Chris' vocals, some with Casey's, and some with Spencer's vocals. This is one of the ones where I think Spencer just kills it. The Walk, on the other hand, Chris owns it, and Icarus Lives! is all Casey territory. Again, just my opinion, but I feel like Spencer is the most well-rounded vocalist Periphery have had to date.

Chris is full of win, he has a very soulful singing voice, and ground-breaking growl!

love it one of the best , imo

thanks for uploading

Woah when did Keith Urban play for Periphery?

@lamerit it's on the second page, "Light (with vocals!)"

Yes he can, have you ever seen them live?

The best vocals this song will ever have!

the 1:36- 2:02 drumming is fucking insane! look up a cover of it and your mind will be blown

I love that version 😍 Chris my afro baby 😝

love this!

He's alright. I just prefer Spencer's range. I saw them live during summer slaughter and he was flawless. He definitely picked up throughout the years.

Have you heard Chris' new project (Ever Forthright)? That guy is good :)

Chris has fucking sick high screams bro, holy shit!!

So is the guy singing this the original singer or a new one idk but I like this guy over the other one, he dosent sound so pop like

CHRIS, Y U LEAVE?!?! This is the first time ever hearing this, I'm only 1:13 in, and I love it so much more than anything Spencer's done.

Also, it's only a matter of time until the latter half of the story is revealed when the new material which Chris is recording is unveiled to the world, and shits down on everybody from the heavens. End thread.

I preferred Chris Barretto's vocals over the current. Saw them live in Fels Point and they were freaking amazing. Anyone know if Chris is doing any current projects?

he sounds really good

Now, that i come to think of it: who did write all these vocals on periphery?? Also, first time i heard anyone but sponce on a periphery-song and i have to say: he is on a completely different level than this chris guy, i don't get everyone complaining about spencer, he is da shizzle on all of periphery and the new shit's gonna be even better!!

The end is amazing. :D

Although Barretto has a good voice, I think that it was a good choice to bring in Sotelo instead. Both of them have voices well suited for the band, but Barretto doesn't have the range that Sotelo does. There are parts of this song where Barretto's voice just doesn't go high enough where Sotelo's does.

hell yeah, did you hear his singing on the new album promo? shits gonna be epic!

It was on his formspring but that no longer exsists. Last thing I can think of is him talking about it on sevenstring(dot)org

Yo this is wild

@yeahyeahyeahz2345 From Bulb's formspring: The 3rd day of our first tour with him, he met our label heads for the first time as they invited us with the other Sumerian bands to a get together in their house. Even though he had a girlfriend (of about 4 years no less), he was making out with this random drunk chick who was there, and as we tried to leave, he asked for 15 more minutes which we gave him. After about 10 he came running back and said "drama, drama, we gotta go"

Chris owns Spencer in tracks like the walk, but Spencer sure gets his revenge in songs like this one

They TOTALLY should have kept that ending in the studio version.

Rody Walker kills everyone. But, I like Chris. And Spencer.

@UnholyMessiah555 Perfectly put.

I would like to hear the instrumental version

wow, I never noticed before now how much Chris struggled on the high notes in the chorus.

@JonathanChunPrevenge What do you mean, what did they say?

Singers in order of goodness: 1. Casey - Large range and killer harsh vocals. 2. Spencer - Largest range, best clean vocals, harsh vocals are meh. 3. Chris - Range is barely large enough, cleans are okay, harsh vocals are pretty good. 4. Jake - No.

@JonathanChunPrevenge People need to stop putting personal issues at the forefront of writing music. Especially in this style of music/scene where people seem to feel the need to constantly interact with their 'idols'. Chris writes fucking bad ass melodies and vocal parts. I care not if he had sex with whoever, we're all human afterall and i'm glad he's not trying to put on a front like other artists, who appoint false impressions upon their fans for their own personal benefit and publicity.

Does anyone have the links to some of Chris' songs with Periphery? Would love stuff like this, and The Walk.

I know that they kept a lot of harmonies from Chris and some of the other vocalists for Racecar, but did they do the same for other songs on the album? The ones here sound almost, if not, identical.

Announced: He's Monuments new singer!

you can tell jake was a big NIN fan...

I don't know. I won't hate on any vocalist they've had, but I've really come to like Spencer's style. I think he suits the music perfectly. Chris is excellent, but his clean vocals, to me, seem a bit too "run of the mill" or something.

@lamerit read description dude.

@ARKAEA33 Chris has improved a lot. Go check out Ever Forthright.

orbination at its best \m/

pinson tennessee, bear creek road. come get some.

Chris has such a generic rock clean voice. Spencer's clean vocals are unmatched I'm afraid. Chris' screams are pretty good though, better than some of Spencer's early stuff in all honesty.

Good choice. I've always liked chris.

The cleans are pre cringe compared to Spencer's spot on cleans. But the screams are much more rounded and less raspy. Easier for the ears to listen to, but losses its uniqueness.

bulb took this demo off soundclick, where can i download a high quality mp3?

Idk i really like Spencer's clean vocals sooo much more... Spencer is what drew me to Periphery.. although Chris is awesome to idk if it would have appealed to me as much with him.. I like Chris's other 2 bands.. instead of one we get 3 awesome bands out of the deal with chris leaving

@vdjn55 u said u hate Spencer's voice, then whats the point listening to their upcoming stuff, does it make sense now?

Why did Periphery have so many different vocalists?

i love spencer and all. but chris. FUCKING GAME OVER.

Gift unto ..

Um, no. It was Casey/the rest of the band.

@jahcts Obviously they're going to be releasing instrumental stuff like they did with their first album. Did that not cross your mind? *facepalm*

I like his cleans because they have more bottom end. But spencer is still a badass

@ravenFF32 agree

Everybody: *Chris is better* *No! Spencer is!* Me: *Just happy that they kicked Chris out because now we have a Monuments with Chris and Spencer Periphery is good as well*

I like both of them, but what you need to understand about people is that they inevitably have something called "preferences." I still like Sotelo but I prefer Baretto's voice, because I just think it's better, and understandably some people won't like one of them or the other. I, as a vocalist, think Sotelo's screaming was absolute shit on the first album and his singing voice was piercingly annoying. He's good now, but I still think Baretto's voice is just nicer sounding. Everyone's different.

I love the chorus because Chris sounds so Chris Cornell XD

Was that cartman at the end

is it just me or does this guy kinda sound like randy blythe

why did chris barretto leave periphery

Jesus fucking christ, is it that damn hard like BOTH OF THEM?? I like Spencer and Chris, because, i dont know...there's thing called pros and cons. Maybe some of y'all have heard of it. While i feel Spencer is a great singer, but i prefer Chris when is comes to harsher vocals. C'mon guise, be fucking reasonable and quit tearing each others heads off.

i like his voice more due to personal taste, but spencer makes it more interesting

@MojoJojo378 *implore, *sings very well. I agree, that was a really, really good cover. I like Spencer's singing too, it's nice to hear more clean vocals in metal. I think that more restrained use of screaming heightens its effect. However, Spencer's vocals tend to be a little thin, reminiscent of typical metalcore vocals imo. Spencer kinda puts me on and turns me off at the same time, it's weird.

@vdjn55 then dnt listen to periphery anymore u dnt have to discriminate others because u prefer the previous

Chris Barretto looks like Sideshow Bob

So whitch singer create the vocal theme?

So much better :T

I think Chris is just as good as Spencer, just not as high of a voice, as evidenced by this song.

Screaming is good, but I definitively prefer Spencer in every vocal aspect.. Still awesome to hear some "beta" stuff from periphery :)

I'm thinking I prefer Spencer because when Chris does clean vocals he is a bit too Pop-Punk for me :P

wow, so many people hating on you here, for this. Whats wrong with these people? I prefer chris as well, I just like his voice better. Reminds me of chris cornell honestly.
