    There are so many nods to Final Fantasy in this it's incredible. This song means a lot to me (I discovered you guys through Misha's FF metal remixes) and I've been lucky enough to interview Uematsu so I've got genuine goosebumps listening to this. What an incredible way to end an album. Here are the nods to Final Fantasy I've noticed!
    Intro guitar lead is super reminiscent of the FF VII main theme
    Vocals underneath this section remind me of FF X Hymm of Faith
    2:04 vocal melody is the same as the first part (five notes) of FF VII's main theme
    2:23 vocal melody is the same as the second part (eight notes) of FF VII's main theme
    4:00 sexy guitar pattern reminds me of the music that plays after the victory fanfare in fights for FF VII
    6:27 string section + guitars are riffing around the same motif as the FF VII theme

This is probably my personal favorite song from the album, a nice shout out to uematsu always pleases me, I used to listen to my dad's IPod and he had The Black Mages on there, I played FFVII as well and it still holds now, a timeless classic. This song is everything from beautiful, epic, heavy, and everything you could want from a Periphery song, and even with all this is manages to keep the tone the same. Their best track from this album by far.

    I found Periphery a little late, around 2017 when I lived in Vegas. They've grown to become one of my top 5 bands. Hearing a lot of P2 similarities in this album, just more advanced.

    First time I heard this track, I just sat and wept happy tears at my computer for the entire last 6-7 minutes.
    Uematsu's music was special to me too, growing up. Periphery was this cool, cutting-edge metal band when I was in high school, but I kept listening to them over the years because of some unspeakable connection that made their music really resonate on some fundamental level. Misha's outspoken love of Nobuo's music over the years, through covers or homages in earlier albums, is certainly part of that connection. It's among his most palpable influences in his contributions to the band. (Well, that and Holdsworth.)
    As soon as I saw online this one's working title written on the white board at one of your songwriting seshs, I knew it was gonna be a special one. Glad you kept the working title too. :)

    Taking a look
    Your past is the weight that takes hold of your brain
    Same as before
    The shock ripping through
    It all hits the floor
    You fear it, so feel it
    Feel the apparition selling me lies
    He'll eclipse the beacon holding light
    A bleeding contradiction
    We'll never harmonize, you and I
    The void shall be your way
    Another trigger in mind because it says so
    Says so
    Cut out the perilous lies
    Beyond the deathblow we go
    The past position was wearing me down
    But this preservation's newly found
    The contradiction was bleeding me dry
    You and I will never harmonize
    Nothing lasts forever, and thank God it doesn't
    Drifting towards the center of serenity
    The dark of night has given way, and thank fucking God it did
    Whether eternally, or just a moment, bask in the light
    Another trigger in mind because it says so
    Says so
    Cut out the perilous lies
    Beyond the deathblow we go
    Another trigger in mind because it says so
    Says so
    Cut out the perilous lies
    Because it says so, says so
    Beyond the deathblow we go
    You fear it, so fear it
    Nothing lasts forever so you've gotta make it right
    Drifting towards the center
    You've gotta remember
    This is a moment divine
    A silent wave
    For just a moment in time, the patterns are aligning
    Now the climb to bask in the light
    They know it never mattered what they had known
    They know that part of him that shines like so
    They know it never mattered what they had known
    They know that part of me that shines like gold
    The curtain drops closed
    I don't wanna go
    Pardon me, the past is over
    The curtain drops closed
    I don't wanna go
    Rest the soul
    Shine like gold
    They know it never mattered what they had known
    They know that part of him that shines like gold
    They know it never mattered what they had known
    They know, yeah
    Rest the soul, shine like gold

    So many emotions coming out in this album man. The way they blend smooth & clean with disjointed & heavy is so insanely impressive and expands the area for emotional expression so much. There's bossa nova (dracul gras), straight jazz (wildfire), riffs of video game music (here)... and it's all blended together in a big soup of orchestral film score outros and just downright heavy ripper shit. Periphery has changed my perspective a lot on what music can be. It just feels like there's no limits to what can be done while listening to these tracks.

      Mind you, sometimes it doesn't bother me if a band has a change of direction that I don't necessarily agree with or even like (eg Linkin Park). At least they were still able to make music that will remain a permanent fixture in my playlist. Just that when Periphery releases new music, I'm always excited when that happens.

    Final Fantasy (especially FF7) was the biggest bonding experience between my twin, myself and our dad when we were younger - this song gave me such happy-tear flashbacks; helped me remember moments like that is why I love my family so much. A strong take, but a relevant one given that this song helped magnify the emotions.

    I will be first to admit that after the first listen of this album, I wasn't as impressed as I wished to be, especially after being blown away by how good Hail Stan was. But that album took several listens to appreciate. And here we are again, after several listens, I realize how genius this album is and my hat is off to this band for making three classics in a row( P. III being not as epic as these two, imo) but almost no band is able to create 3 classic albums in their careers, let alone on a row!
    And while everyone is amazing, I can't believe how good Spencer is. Singers make or break good bands. And he is so gifted not only at singing at crazy high and low registers, plus screaming, but he can created very catchy and memorable vocals in a very much a prog leaning metal band.
    You guys are amazing and just like fine wine, as you all grow, u will keep making just as good and better material, if better is even possible. Just like Avenged Sevenfold- they keep growing and growing. So Periphery, you are one of the leading bands in today's/tomorrow metal.
