This entire band is ridiculously talented.. I cant wait for the Album. Between the drummers, Travis and Matt have different styles and bring different vibes to the music - personal expression of the music - and both equally good in their own right. To sum up: Periphery OWNS =p
I love how he screams the last chorus. I'm not sure if he planned it or had to because his voice was giving out, but it was cool as hell! I really like Chris as a singer and frontman.
I love Periphery! My new favorite band! :D And I think their new singer does a perfect job in all the songs! I haven't heard their old singer enough to compare the two, but I like the vocals as they are on the album, and I'm impatiently looking forward to their next release! ^^ Hopefully I'll be able to catch them live some time! ^^
i got a shiver down my whole body at 2:28.... and again at 4:43... it was even more amazing seeing them live.... i could've shit myself and be proud of that steamer rolling down my leg...
I find it fucking funny that you see Matt tearing up a 3 piece, then in the background you see a big double bass set, and the drummer is probably nothing like Matt. Thank you Matt, for showing you don't need a huge set to be amazing or original.
Okay heres my 2 cents. all this crap about whos better between chris and spencer, and matt and travis is stupid. in my opinion if periphery picks you as their vocalist and sticks with you and is able to record a full album with you, youre damn good. Props to Spencer. And if you are a drummer and can keep up with Periphery's music, AND can improv your live performance, you fuckin win. Props to Matt. lol
maybe it's only my opinion, but Chris can't be replaced. His voice is not as good as Spencer's but his screams are the best in today's music industry. And he's so charismatic. Fucking brilliant guy.
actually, there's (few) live videos of casey, but the ones i've seen he goes down instead of trying to hit that note. ;) baretto is a fantastic vocalist. when i talked to travis orbin at the SEA show here, he had very high opinions of him. apparently brings his music books and actually practices his vocals, which is rare. good videos dude thanks a lot! and alex is the best thing ever on stage, holy shit that guy never stops rocking.
chris is an amazing singer. unbelievable, in fact. which makes me think the reason for not keeping him around is more one-dimensional than you all may think when you ask for him back. there's definitely a good fucking reason.
ONLY thing I wish periphery could do(and possibly could do in the future) live are the vocal harmonies that are in the recordings, "Before they saw what i was becoming" etc etc
"And when I said I'll never feel again, what I really ment was fucking pull the cause time is spent" Fuck I envy Chris screaming that.. would've been the utterly most epic moment of my life.
@MattixIcexBaby YES! Thank god someone speaks the truth about Spencer, i've got nothing against Chris and he did a good job... but Spencer rocks, the Periphery album has some of the best vocals i've ever heard :D
@jacksonguitarsrule1 He does that in all the parts when he's not playing, its to keep the band in time with the backing track (coming through the monitors and matt's in-ears :)
@theroan they might not be doing backflips and stuff, but from a musical stand point it's great. they amount of technique required to play this is really intense.
When i saw Periphery in New Jersey I talked to the singer Chris after the show. He said that Icaurs was going to be on their album. It should be pretty sick hearing it with his vox.
on a contradictory note to my other comment, i noticed that the new drummer forgos alot of travis orbins kick "burst" fills in the end of icarus lives. i definitely miss that.
@bugfuqr THANK you. I'm sick of people bashing Spencer because there's "no emotion behind his vocals" or whatever other BS people can come up with. This band is about technical precision, and because of that (in my opinion) Spencer is a better match for them.
This the future calling on to you! All what you mentioned (except for Mr. Person) are on the album. Frak the Gods will appear on a latter EP release. your predictions came 80 % True!
next time ill use a stronger sedative...
hello mister periphery!
the sounds Matt makes on such a small kit are just so fuckin' heavy. clearly one of the most creative and talented drummers out there.
damn they are going to be an amazing band in a few years. you can tell they're still new though. can't wait for their CD.
And here we are now. One of my favevorite bands out there
yea dawg
they have already become
you were damn right
realmente acertou
Crazy to see how far they've come since then.
Chris just sang with periphery last night in nyc, greatest thing to happen, ever.
Wow the drummer is so good so tight on every part amazing great band
matts drumming makes my jaw drop. everytime.
This entire band is ridiculously talented.. I cant wait for the Album.

LIGHT is my fav song from Periphery i hope they play it live when i see em
"The only man who can break three cymbals with one swing of the stick!"
Who's here after Periphery V
I love Periphery! My new favorite band! :D
And I think their new singer does a perfect job in all the songs! I haven't heard their old singer enough to compare the two, but I like the vocals as they are on the album, and I'm impatiently looking forward to their next release! ^^
Hopefully I'll be able to catch them live some time! ^^

odie0220 has the best periphery vids from way back in the day...........
At 3:12, Matt pretty much permanently melted my face.

I'm totally stoked to see these guys on July 31st in Lubbock on the 2010 Thrash and Burn tour :D
I can't help it... Alex is so cool :-) i love Periphery... can't wait for the CD
this band fucking owns i can't believe they exist

8:24 - the end: i can totally see Misha going like "Matt you're supposed to be playing a normal patter.....MATT, WAT R U DOING! MATT, STAHP!!"
Can't wait for peripherys first album :D
amazing!
these guys are sickkkk :DD
absolutely brutal!! .. Can't wait for the new CD in April 2010
lol im directly under where you filmed this GREAT set this was my first time hearing these guys period. Love the unqiue sound
This drummer is like nobody i've ever seen man. These songs are like in his blood.
i got a shiver down my whole body at 2:28.... and again at 4:43... it was even more amazing seeing them live.... i could've shit myself and be proud of that steamer rolling down my leg...
watch that drummer, what a groove!
Amazing
I find it fucking funny that you see Matt tearing up a 3 piece, then in the background you see a big double bass set, and the drummer is probably nothing like Matt. Thank you Matt, for showing you don't need a huge set to be amazing or original.
saw them last night, it was fucking amazing
such an amazing drummer
i agree with ethan!! he's not fussy over his drum set ups,simple but still kickass!
heck yes. i played there.
I REALLY hope the thing that they play for their intro is included on the album.
I'm betting this might just be the best album I'm ever going to buy.
oh dear god that snare is just beautiful
class drummer!!!
Okay heres my 2 cents. all this crap about whos better between chris and spencer, and matt and travis is stupid. in my opinion if periphery picks you as their vocalist and sticks with you and is able to record a full album with you, youre damn good. Props to Spencer. And if you are a drummer and can keep up with Periphery's music, AND can improv your live performance, you fuckin win. Props to Matt. lol
i came from the future to say that chris still has the best vocals in the genre
I too come from the future, its 2021 and the world is basically over but periphery is still around lol
maybe it's only my opinion, but Chris can't be replaced. His voice is not as good as Spencer's but his screams are the best in today's music industry. And he's so charismatic. Fucking brilliant guy.
actually, there's (few) live videos of casey, but the ones i've seen he goes down instead of trying to hit that note. ;)
baretto is a fantastic vocalist. when i talked to travis orbin at the SEA show here, he had very high opinions of him. apparently brings his music books and actually practices his vocals, which is rare.

woww awesome drumming
that drummer gets fuckin props, that shit was impressive.
ONLY thing I wish periphery could do(and possibly could do in the future) live are the vocal harmonies that are in the recordings, "Before they saw what i was becoming" etc etc
@SirVonRuch wow, that was well put, i feel the same way.
I can't enough of Chris' voice! It's amazing!! =D
Really killer band !
"And when I said I'll never feel again, what I really ment was fucking pull the cause time is spent"
Fuck I envy Chris screaming that.. would've been the utterly most epic moment of my life.
I get headaches from hearing Periphery non-Instrumentals, but with Chris they sound really good
@Laihoistheman the drumkit in the background is from the drummer of devildriver ( the headlining band in that tour )
@MattixIcexBaby YES! Thank god someone speaks the truth about Spencer, i've got nothing against Chris and he did a good job... but Spencer rocks, the Periphery album has some of the best vocals i've ever heard :D
New Groove
what a kick ass drummer there! kudos to his simple kit as well!
@jacksonguitarsrule1 He does that in all the parts when he's not playing, its to keep the band in time with the backing track (coming through the monitors and matt's in-ears :)
@theroan they might not be doing backflips and stuff, but from a musical stand point it's great. they amount of technique required to play this is really intense.
For real. 5 years? Wow.. Your badass dude. You can probably totally rock some disturbed songs. ...haha.
Man, spencer looked way different back then
most fucking awesome intro. ever.
When i saw Periphery in New Jersey I talked to the singer Chris after the show. He said that Icaurs was going to be on their album. It should be pretty sick hearing it with his vox.
Honesty, Chris hits the notes in Icarus lives much much much stronger than their first live video with him.
bulb has so many songs on soundclick and has all the time in the world to write shit, he has his own recording studio and equiptment. its amazing
They have really great stage presence too
@snorelaxascension oh..well i just started to listen to this band and wasn't sure. Thanks for letting me know
This might be my favourite Halpern performance
I saw him in Dallas last year around this time and it was just as amazing!
Holy fuck I was at this show lol I have a few videos recorded from that night
@tony07v hell yea this drummer is blowing my mind
it is now officially old groove.
on a contradictory note to my other comment, i noticed that the new drummer forgos alot of travis orbins kick "burst" fills in the end of icarus lives. i definitely miss that.
damn that drummer truly owns it
Didn't realise that Ever Forthright's vocalist used to be in Periphery. Cool!
hell yeah man, halpern is a beast
God; this is a fuckin WIN!!!
@bugfuqr THANK you. I'm sick of people bashing Spencer because there's "no emotion behind his vocals" or whatever other BS people can come up with. This band is about technical precision, and because of that (in my opinion) Spencer is a better match for them.
what the hell all you talking about spencer kicks ass! I admit that his growl is not that agressive but his clean vocal is much more high and strong
i love how bulb is such a badass guitarist....but looks so 'nice'
@mlceltic you're kidding! Look at them headbanging! They've got good stage presence man
This the future calling on to you! All what you mentioned (except for Mr. Person) are on the album. Frak the Gods will appear on a latter EP release. your predictions came 80 % True!
Epic intro. I never thought anyone could beat After The Burial's - Introduction to Destruction or whatever they call it..But this shit is amazing!
Matt is a fucking machine.
yes they have 3
Tracklist:
Letter Experiment
Ow My Feelings
Light
Totla Mad
Zyglrox
All New Materials
Not Enough Mana
Insomnia
Absolomb
Buttersnips
Racecar
The Walk
@bugfuqr I totally agree with you.
I like how he calls this "upstate" NY.
if you see them in concert it'll make more sense. they each play different types of parts in the songs.
Chris fucking baretto rules!
imagine how many rythm patterns you can create with only one tom...it's whatever the musician wants to play...
i agree
@vnalder1234 i personally think this guys growling and screaming is better, but the new guys singing is way better
wow
