That's how you fucking outro an album. 5 guitars layered there. One is a semi-tone down and another is a major third down. That's what give is so much depth and that hint of detune to make it pretty much just one big noise.
+tofol cano This may comes as a surprise, but with the astounding recording technology these days, people are able to record several layers of instruments, even more than the number of people in the band itself! Hope I didn't shake your world too hard there, buddy
@@winterwolf2164 no problem. It's actually "Muramasa Live Set intro", an interlude Misha made for when they play it live, but someone turned it into an extended intro for Muramasa. It's somwhere out there on youtube
I remember Ragnarok being my first Periphery experience, and even now, being their fan for more than two years, it still squeezes tons of feels from me. Thank you, Periphery.
William Jones Just listened, that note is where he says "waking" I assume, on the "-ing" part. He goes up to F (on a C scale), which is ridiculous, but he goes up higher to F# in the same octave in Ragnarok. If you listen to both and compare the two, the one in Ragnarok song is higher.
Greatest song ever. I call this one song btw, fuck dividing it into parts, but i like how the albums starts and finishes with it and its also in the middle. P2 is a masterpiece.
Cant listen to these songs on their own anymore. This trilogy just makes so much sense and sounds incredible together. Let me just tell you that I have to listen to this daily since discovering it.
This motif across the album makes it my number one of all albums for me it will never be topped there's something about it it just carries the album so fucking well
I can't believe how long I've been singing along to this fucking album it's insane it's been 10 plus years of me fucking singing this shit and every time I still didn't enjoy it just as much I'll come back to this album every couple years and be reminded why it's the goat
lost my old phone with this on, almost two year later suddenly remember this great song, looks on Google play, not avaliable in your country, whaaaaaaaat!!!!!
JESUS CHRIST! The part from 11:40 to 12:40! Is that spencer growling in the background while the outro is happening? What the fuck those sound so fucking scary. I wish if there were "vocals only" of just that particular part. There's a video with vocal isolation for Masamune but the screams at the end aren't heard in it :(
I'm here after listening to Reptile a zillion times. I knew the P2 era had promise but god damn. Being stuck somewhere in time feels more like a blessing than a punishment. ua-cam.com/video/6VBRW7WVfi0/v-deo.html
muramasa is a sword maker from japan and masamune is a clan from warring states era of japan, not sure about ragnarok, but these three swords are present in final fantasy.
My mistake, Fenrir only kills Odin and this is just one event in Ragnarok. The main point is that the world will be submerged in water and re-emerge fertile and be repopulated by two human survivors. Many of the gods will not survive Ragnarok.
a correction: masamune isn't the clan, it was called "Date". The most famous head of the clan was Date Masamune. The song, however, is probably named after the Katana masamune, used by Sephiroth from Final Fantasy. :p sorry i know this comment was from a long time ago. It was just bothering me haha 😅
muramasa and masamune two of japans most famous smiths. also two that happen to not have that much known about them. almost managed to buy a real muramasa and a sword from the masamune line(a student of his student) once but didnt manage to get the money together in time.
I can’t shake the idea that these songs are from the point of view of fallen angels that followed satan ie: the morning star. They know they’re effed all the way and they can see their demise clearly coming. I’m probably reading way too much into it, but.........
Wait, I always tought Ragnarok came after Scarlet because it kinda continues the song when it ends, what is going on? Can someone explain me the order?
Alright guys, I think I know what kinda story this is: MURAMASA: The fallen came to corrupt and *[we]* let it happen even though we knew better. ..blah blah.. there was a big flood (surrounding nations) to fix it all.. "all the world by a thread" - thread being just Noah and his fam or whateva. they 'distanced' or separated themselves. blah. RAGNAROK: Jesus fasted for forty days and forty nights in the wilderness when he came to save from the fallen. He was hungry like a mf but he had to I guess. He was sitting there the whole time thinking bout how he was about to be tortured, pouring his bloud and shit,. he thought he was gonna go nuts. He begged BEGGED god to just grant a pardon for the lost souls because he didn't want to get his guts ripped out and everything for these trolls. understandable. blah blah. AND THEN, after all that we went back to our evil ways acting like Jesus didn't even bother to help us because we're evil and shit, again, not doing what we know is right. MASAMUNE: The ascension. or actually more form the perspective of the bad apples that don't get to go with lmao. ..Not sure who's calling their soul, being snatched into the spirit realm. leaving the flesh behind. Rejected by the gates. tragic. "Measuring all the glory as it seems. Was it enough for eternity?" - the rejectees whining: haven't I done this and that?!! I'm a good person, LET ME IN!! Then god says "depart from me, I don't even know y'all randoms." Then at some point all of heaven starts singing after it was silent for half an hour or something like that. There was a great divide between God and evil (all this is supposed to be in future btw) while the evil are tortured. No more pardons, no more chance to repent. Looking back and wishing just ONE last chance. after the end: Somewhere in time we welcomed in the fall. But in the distance we can see shining clear our demise to be. We're not listening to ourselves. I SWEAR all of this is in the bible.
+Alex W. Nice theory, don't forget the "Colours seem to fade. As the morning star surrounds the angels sing." Lucifer was considered the "light bringer" and "morning star" in some Greek/Hebrew versions of the Bible.
@@actuallyasriel I feel as though "behold the universe inside of you waiting patiently" is a reference to Luke 17 - "the kingdom of god is within you" Spiritual lyrics using familiar mythos as a lens for the eternal. Truly brilliant writing.
+Alex W. Why doesnt everyone understand this? Its as if its common knowledge. Spencer Sotelo is a master lyricist for putting enlightenment into lyrics. (Knowledge of how the world really is). I'm well aware Misha Mansoor like the Final Fantasy series but Spencer writes the lyrics.
It's funny how you say the meaning is so obvious, yet nobody here got it. You did the exact opposite of what you and the song pointed out. You talk about enlightenment and then talk about biblical metaphors. That's exactly what is wrong. The enlightenment is self revolution and knowledge. Breaking free from the chains of bullshit and religious institutions. _They are using metaphors to describe what's wrong with the metaphors._ Think about it.
"Our Baphomet shirt will be called the "Varg" in honor of Periphery's biggest musical inspiration!" - quote from their facebook. Don't forget this. lol.
***** No, not quite, they were accused of it, being accused of something does not mean you are guilty of it. Also. what is now commonly portrayed as the baphomet was created by Eliphas Levie In the 1850s. And finally, no, it means the sum of all total of the universe, man women, evil good ect...
Well, they're nerds, so that might be possible. One of the songs in the album, don't remember which, was partly inspired by Final Fantasy VII. You'd have to ask Misha and Spencer.
Dalton Bedore neither did i #dropoutfeels i didn't catch that tho, gg i was wondering what the relation was they were all mythology of some kind but they didn't really relate nice one
The chorus that is repeated in teh three parts should be your starting point, after that... research the words. Ragnarok comes from Viking ancestry I beleive. That should get you started
I've listened to this so many times that it feels wrong when I'm listening to the actual album and Ragnarok doesn't come right after Murarmasa
Dawn Leaf same, af!!!
And why did he put them 3 together?
Aksel Newt They are one song, simply split throughout the album.
Agreed brother
@@AksenowtCc probably because the three are related by name, all refering to final fantasies' recourring weapons
10 years later and this still hits just as hard.
I literally just stumbled onto Periphery's music about a year ago. This was the album that did it.
Yeah
I have to agree with you.
@@JD_Gaming248 you literally must agree.
@@behindthen0thing525 IK
Muramasa is the greatest song ever made
Tell that to reptile :)
@@TheMickey0718 it was hard to think back then that they'd continue to out do themselves.

I like this comment
The Lyrics "somewhere in time" happened literally in the middle of these songs. I looked at the play bar and it was halfway somewhere in time.
holy shit
Periphery, please stop, I can only get so hard...
That's how you fucking outro an album. 5 guitars layered there. One is a semi-tone down and another is a major third down. That's what give is so much depth and that hint of detune to make it pretty much just one big noise.

+Chase Garrett I just love how after Halpern just goes off on the drums it drops so heavily to end the album on such a punishing note
+Chase Garrett and all this time I just thought he was de-tuning with one hand while strumming with the other.
I’d love to hear Periphery extend out Muramasa in a future album. The tone of that song is just incredible.
Look up: Muramasa Extended Intro

especially the part where he goes "somewhere in taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaime" :D :D
Those huge soaring notes are what make P2 such an insane vocal album. As well as the amazing instrumentals, the vocals are on another level.
+HRacingGreen My first experience was catch fire, then I progressively got into the heavier stuff and fell in love
Its there best song IMO
Same dude, Luke Hollands Ragnarok cover was the entry into a whole new musical world for me
6:42 - You're welcome.
+klblackstar that's still the highest note he's hit to date.
+klblackstar It gives me goosebumps everytime
+Psylo Productions Except it's not. One of yes, but his highest recorded is a background vocal in Racecar @4:52. Bb5

Off in the distance we can see, shining clear, our demise to be. We're not listening to ourselves.

The fucking drop in Muramasa.
Dawg when I first heard this intro in the p2 preview the goosebumps Infelt man still my fave periphery album 10/10
This is perfect, the names of the songs, the themes, the music, the VOCALS, just everything. This is how to do an epic.
This motif across the album makes it my number one of all albums for me it will never be topped there's something about it it just carries the album so fucking well

Best rock/metal album EVER...... PERIOD....... P2 baby 👌🔥👌🔥
One of the best thing I've ever heard
This is a musical masterpiece - that chorus is so motivational and inspiring! GETS ME PUMPED!
same here.
The best bit of music I've heard in a long time o.o too bad I missed these beauties for over 2 years after release!
Hammered and lit; thank you for piecing these together.
Headphones; max volume.
Thank You For The Upload..
Wonderful!
lost my old phone with this on, almost two year later suddenly remember this great song, looks on Google play, not avaliable in your country, whaaaaaaaat!!!!!
yes somehow, reptile is still three minutes longer than these three songs
and a masterpiece at that too.
@@youjohn__ very true
thanks bro for the video lyrics
JESUS CHRIST! The part from 11:40 to 12:40! Is that spencer growling in the background while the outro is happening? What the fuck those sound so fucking scary. I wish if there were "vocals only" of just that particular part. There's a video with vocal isolation for Masamune but the screams at the end aren't heard in it :(
Yeah is only growling its sounds like a horror monsters movie
"Somewhere in time" time stamps:
Muramasa: 0:23
Ragnarok: 5:50
Masamune: 10:41
you missed one in ragnarok
That vocals in Ragnarok is pristine somewhere in time!
Never heard this triptychon before. I knew there were cross references but this makes so much more sense now.

muramasa is a sword maker from japan and masamune is a clan from warring states era of japan, not sure about ragnarok, but these three swords are present in final fantasy.
as far as I know Ragnarok is the Norse apocalypse, when Fenrir breaks free from his chains, kills the gods and devours all.
My mistake, Fenrir only kills Odin and this is just one event in Ragnarok. The main point is that the world will be submerged in water and re-emerge fertile and be repopulated by two human survivors. Many of the gods will not survive Ragnarok.
Roman Berka Does Fenrir kills Odin with a handmade sword from Japan?
a correction: masamune isn't the clan, it was called "Date". The most famous head of the clan was Date Masamune. The song, however, is probably named after the Katana masamune, used by Sephiroth from Final Fantasy. :p
sorry i know this comment was from a long time ago. It was just bothering me haha 😅
9:07
Maybe he says "What will become of the EINHERJI?"?
The Einherji, plural of Einherjar, are the warrior spirits of Ragnarok in Norse Mithology...
Nope. Sorry.
haahahahaha rejected, but could be interpreted both ways
YoooOoOooo maybe
muramasa and masamune two of japans most famous smiths. also two that happen to not have that much known about them.
almost managed to buy a real muramasa and a sword from the masamune line(a student of his student) once but didnt manage to get the money together in time.
I can't turn the volume up loud enough!!
Anyone who likes this would probably enjoy Corelia as much \m/
+Aaron Dooley I missed a chance to see them play together with Protest the Hero and Periphery. I'm so goddamn mad at myself I could shit my pants.
+Timothy Robertson Do it.
I envy those old ass Periphery fans coz I'm only discovering them now... Where were these guys when I was in my Meshuggah, Tesseract days?...
same here altough i heard make total destroy back in the day
Odd...
TesseracT is top tier Prog.
Meshuggah is absolute shit.
Still today....

Am I the only one who gets a Lovecraftian vibe from the lyrics?
nope, the three swords in ff were three famous swordsmiths (I think in japan not sure tho) and so were the names of these songs
6:25 - 6:33 Best
It's actually final fantasy... the three swords are the titles of these songs
I know spencer dosen't wanna reviel what the concept is about and that it is up to the listener to figure out, but does anyone even have a clue?
This is known as the 'Somewhere in Time' trilogy?
>realising that the titles are based off of final fantasy
Best band ever other than Pantera
Marriage?
This is jokes, btw. But yes, Periphery are in a tier of their own and will be remembered as legends one day.
