God, Spencer's certainly improved in the past few years. Seriously, watch a performance from the juggernaut tour or something, he's leaps and bounds ahead of this. That said, it's still a really impressive performance. His range is insane.
Everyone has their opinion, mine is that One of the things that makes them so great is that Periphery doesn’t have a best track. They are all the best, especially from the newest album. Lune and Marigold are fucking masterpieces.
To be completely honest, he sounds better than most other clean vocalists around today. This was this spring, and from what I've heard he's also improved drastically since then.
Spencer's cleans have gotten SO much better. But I really do miss these screams. they were so unique because nobody else sounded quite like it. Maybe it was just shitty technique but who knows.
Conventional meaning making the vocal line follow the chords played. For example, if a Bminor is played, there are only 3 traditional notes that the vocal line can begin on. B, D, and F#. Passing tones allow him to go in between chords, but the reason that the big moments in Periphery songs happen is because they are consonant between the guitar chords and the voice. The easiest example is throughout All New Materials. Notice the voice notes change EXACTLY when the guitar chord changes.
it will never be release guys, sucks but shit happens, wish that you guys could shoot the next gig they have in toronto, it will be a better representation of the band too
Please add a Paypal donate option to the high quality download. Both Periphery and the Editors/audioengineers should get payed for this awesome project! Salutes from the cold north, Sweden. YOU guys are freaking awesome.
Most likely both. He has an article on metalsucks where he talks about it if you're interested. Just google "periphery double track" and it's the first link that pops up
Spencer actually sings the cleans pretty damn fucking well. And hes transitioning from clean screams, to growls and then to high lows. how he does it withough just coughing and spluttering all over the fucking crowd is amazing. And also, if you were there live, the singing usually sounds alot better. Live recordings usually make the singing sound worse then it would actually sound live 3:15 - 4:19 those are some pretty damn fucking impressive vocals for a live recording
1. One can actually do more ambient stuff (like what Jake do pretty often), or complete/support a tapping melody like Alex at 2:18... And many other applications... 2. "origins from this sound lies with" MESHUGGAH first, and a little bit with Dream Theater. So periphery is somewhere between both, in terms of melody and rhythm.
I remember asking Nolly about the setup for three guitars, he said that Jake and Misha were left and right and that Mark is dead centre in terms of the PA's panning. Hope that helps explain their 3 guitarists to some degree.
I think this was when they did the Djentlemen tour. Jake broke his finger so had Nolly filling in in the UK (I know that for a fact). This guy is Browne from Monuments.
omg man this is amazing, i was at this show and it truely caught even more of the vibe of that night. Audio and video and mix's are great cant wait for all of this. Id love to download 1080p versions of this whole set, did you happen to video tape scale the summit or fair to midland as well?
i didnt call it large. he has a snare, toms, floor tom, kick, ride, crash, and high hat for most of their stuff. maybe he doesnt in this video but he can make it sound good. Glad to know that you are such a reasonable guy :D
Djent isn't even a genre its a guitar tone that Misha found through Meshuggah. If you listen to both bands at certain points you can hear that guitar tone come through in both bands, now obviously it will sound different because as I've previously stated they're different bands so Periphery will take what they like from Meshuggah and make it the Periphery we know and love today! and I love Periphery! :)
oh holy shit!!! i cant wait for this DVD of Periphery!! i gotta gets it nao!!! you said that a month ago now that i look.. so is it out yet now?? or still in productions/reviews? would love to know!!
AHHH okk i getcha man! yah i used to have long hair myself and i loved headbanging and swirling it around haha then i grew out of that phase...but as long as you dont think looks or hair style take priority over the music all is good :D!!
Actually "Djent" never really took off until Periphery got going. Meshugga may have started the whole chugging lines stuff but Periphery brought it into what it is now.
you do realize that Meshuggah's "Chaosphere" came out in 1998 right? Show me one other band that was making music like that back then. Periphery is a result of the rhythmic philosophy that Meshuggah pioneered, taken to the maximum potential. Don't get me wrong, this is a very talented collection of musicians who really know their shit, but meshuggah were making what people call Djent now well before most of these guys were even in high school.
