i can tell you, that when he screams like that, they arent going after a "popular" type of sound that would attract more people.
I personally love the screaming in this song...I find it powerful and fitting!!
The song is about our planet going under from the view of a satellite.
Those screamed parts are the destruction.
I love the screaming but I prefer to do without it 4ever
@@prs149 that makes no sense
Well, it’s not for everyone, but those highs are what make the song for me.. I love when Spencer shows off like that.
Well it should be, I love all types of metal but without vocal Melody it's just noise
@@prs149 not really. Meshuggah isnt noise
@@prs149 you sound like a non-musician, or at least a non-metalhead 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The highs are awesome! The screaming sounds Angry and so I agree with Rich!
Couldn't agree more.
Screaming doesn't always have to be connected to like an evil character in an opera. That would be more fitting for a band like Opeth and those types of screams. In this band screaming is used more as a device of intense emotion, as usually when people scream in life it's used to show how intense they are feeling with their emotions to get a point across.
yes
The screaming, for me, drives home the pure emotion of the message what's being said. It hits me somewhere deep, and I can't help but tear up when I hear it.
His reaction at the end there is based purely on the fact that he didn’t clearly understand the lyrics. Give it a couple more listens
I wish you guys had listened to more Periphery before hearing this song. It's probably my favorite, and I completely appreciate the power and intensity of the screams, even in a song that starts off so beautifully. It's still beautiful, just in a different way, and I think screaming is in order when you know what the song is about. It's supposed to be from Earth's perspective, if it could tell us what it feels about all of the things we are doing to it.
This stuff takes time to digest, so it's totally understandable that you might not like a song on the first listen, but I wanted you guys to be blown away like I was the first time I heard it. I'll never forget being in the car that Sunday morning after the bike ride, and that explosion half way through just leaving me stunned. Being familiar with all of their earlier work, this song felt like another level. When you guys listen to older stuff, and you hear the screaming and growling in songs like Stranger Things and Ragnarok (that one took me quite a while to get), try to imagine him singing it normally. It just wouldn't work.
They’ve reviewed about three songs now and they seem to grasp general gist of them pretty well, this song in particular took me a few more listens than usual to really grasp the meaning and context of the lyrics ( and I’ve been listening since the clear ep days lol)
@@JoseLopez-st3xz That's just not enough for this band. They have so many different sounding songs, and they haven't listened to anything like Ji, Make Total Destroy, or Prayer Position. Really hard, djenty kind of songs. And those are the harder ones to "get". I mean, the first two songs they heard were Lune and Absolomb, which have pretty much no screaming.
Tyler Rogers agreed, they need to listen to some of their heavy songs, like ragnarok or even stranger things would be a good start. Periphery is my favorite band and has been for ever now. What they can do musically is magical, and I love how it’s pure art, they don’t care if people like it, they like what they released.
Dude, I was so blown away by Sattelites. The whole album blew my mind, but this song did in particular. As a periphery fan since the beginning, it just gets better and better and this was no exception.
it will take time to like Periphery entirely, but when it clicks, it clicks pretty hard and then theres no turning back.
i hated the screams at first and only admired the instrumentals. but at some point i just started to love the whole product and now i dont wanna miss the screams
This. Its took me sooo long to get that click
LOL I get it dude! at first I only liked about three of their songs.. and then slowly but surely everything fucking grew on me. And it took P4 coming out for me to really be able to go back and appreciate all of P3!
and by "at first", I mean when I finally checked them out during the Juggernaut days. I never listened to them before that
Same for me with gojira
Man. That is the exact same story with me. It took like 5 or 6 months of my friend constantly playing them for me to realize how fucking good Ragnarok is lol. Now I cant get enough of their entire discography
Periphery don't make music for anyone but themselves, they've literally said "fuck what the fans want" haha
Theyve literally said " suck my balls"
@@moatfloater XD They sure have. There an amazing group of talented people.
lol the high screams absolutely were needed though...that part was the most important section of the message of this song and he needed to convey that. Not to mention the screams he did there are *extremely* hard to do. Pure talent. It wasn't "stereotypical" whatsoever. There are a very select few in this genre who can even pull that off.
I get your initial reaction as a first listen that the screams are rather jarring, but the vocals switch in intensity to show frustration. “We’re going under” is referring to the fact that we’ve literally brought our planet to it’s breaking point. Tides are literally rising, glaciers are melting at an alarming rate, and we’re likely going to exhaust many natural resources in the next decades due to sheer indifference of our worlds health.
I kinda relate it to how people shit on the disturbed cover of “Sound of silence”. The original was more uneasy and reserved, when speaking a warning of technology and its effects on IRL communication. Disturbed got flack because their rendition was “too bombastic” or extra. But thats what they aimed for. They conveyed the anger that the warning portrayed in the original fell on deaf ears and chose to this time shove it front and center to hopefully make it resonate that time around.
For this reason I believe Periphery’s use of screams on this track are completely justified and not just “riding a musical trend”.
As always I enjoy watching your reactions and getting your opinions because it occasionally spawns great dialogue!
P.s
Check out Architects- Gone with the wind
That song literally brings me to tears anytime it plays (dedicated to the bands late guitarist who died of cancer)
You absolutely hit the nail on the head my friend. This explanation was just amazing
The screaming made it more powerful in my opinion
I'll have to think about that
I love how you guys love Periphery 🤘🤘 i found this band a few years back now and i cant get enough of them, they are my soul band, i get goosebumps no matter how many times i listen to them, great review
The best song besides Reptile off P4.
I’m only able to fully appreciate this album now. Reptile and satellites are some of the best metal songs ever, CHVRCH BVRNER and blood eagle are heavy as shit and are great, It’s only smiles is uplifting but almost brought me to tears, and follow your ghost, and crush are great in their own right.
@@funnyperson4027 But what about Sentient Glow?
Garett Chamberlin another really great track for vocals with some sick riffs, sorry forgot to list it. Out of all of the songs on the album I’ve listened to sentient glow the least
All of the "trendy" things are "trendy" partly because Periphery is and has been historically a trend setter. Also I can't see how screaming is "trendy" outside the niche of extreme metal just seems like an ignorant jab at great music.
I would disagree in the trendy bit because periphery in general does whatever they want and have always had a similar vocal style, cleans and spencers style of screams. Its not for everyone but i can guarantee they are not going for trendy, they are just doing what their style has always been and it can be an aquited taste
As a young metal head myself k can tell you your son would love this. Yall make me happy keep this up.
you two crack me up, part of the reason I continue to come back. Great lyrics within the song.
This is such a powerful song, so much meaning to it.
Bands like these, they're artists first. They split with their old record label and started their own to pursue what music they wanted to make.
Screams here, and in any of their music are not for the sake of having screams in the song, they're used to convey a message. Ofcourse one doesn't have to like it, but it's not just used for the sake of it.
Sam Carter, the vocalists of Architects doesn't really use low screams on albums for example. In an interview he stated that someone who was very emotional would use their voice in a low manner, so why should he in songs when he's trying to convey emotion.
Screams are very interesting to me, and wether I like them or not is about their purpose in a song, which I find there is quite a bit of in this one.
The song is supposed to build up and it ends all dramatically. They are musical geniuses
I love everything about that song. Including the screams. I love to be able to scream out what's being said. That is why metalcore is my favorite genre. It's pure talent to do both.
it only smiles by periphery!
Periphery luck as a constant. To me that is there best song.
Periphery has screamed since day 1 brother
Her shine fading away when the screams begin 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This song is a masterpeice in my eyes.
It builds beautifully, and then let's it all out aggressively. It absolutely destroys me emotionally, and the end purges the pain by just fucking belting it out. Spencer allows you to feel what he feels with his voice, and it's incredible.
The ‘going under’ part is my favorite part of the song haha. The screaming parts in there don’t really distract me but give a kind of climax. Love the vocals on this song in general.
UGH FINALLY!!!!!!
I thinks it was perfect, never was to much or not enough. I loved periphery and I'm glad I listened to them from the beginning of the Demos and P1 and grew with them and still continue to grew with them. The best part is that they never care what the fans like or what they want, they play what they want, how they want and that's what will make them stay around and keep creating master pieces.
I'm a little bit late but oh well. The screams may be a little bit jarring at first but after a few more listens they make more sense. Not only are the screams meant to convey a message, but they make the section after that with the clean vocals that much more dynamic and powerful
You look like Aaron eckhart! Yalls energy is goals man. Love periphery since their first album!
Please react to -

Shrey Kundra what about nocturnal?
For the love of god this! Lol! Of Mind - Exiled
Well said...😎
I agreed the first time I listened to it, and its why Satellites was not a song I cared for, for a good while.
But as you listen more, it grows on you, and you realize the harsh vocals and screams are out of frustration on the subject matter.
Knowing you two like Lune so much, and it being my absolute favorite Periphery song, I totally understand where you guys are coming from with your reaction.
This song grows on you though the more you listen.
Loving the videos guys, so glad you're enjoying Periphery!
I recommend #DevinTownsend - Spirits Will Collide. For a wee change of pace!
Hail from Scotland!
This is what happens when your first foray into Periphery is Lune.
*Speaking regarding song about the incessant march of humanity towards the destruction of our ONLY home through pure greed despite our knowledge of it*
Rich: “This one for me was desperation. But I don’t think that was needed.”
You clearly understand the song, yet you don’t seem to understand that you understand it. The desperation is the point. You don’t think we need to wake up and start looking after the planet desperately? This is a true rarity in that you have a song which not only communicates its message through the lyrics perfectly, but through the texture of the instruments and vocal styles. Sit down and listen a full album of theirs. Maybe then we’ll talk. Thanks for the LOLs though.
Them (beginning of video): We love periphery
Also them (at the end): We don't like the screams and high singing
Me: Um what?
I feel like this is a song that even more so justified the screams to really deliver the emotions and frustrations relating to how we’re destroying our planet.
The screams are part of the metaphor!!!!
Great video once again & thanks for reacting to my favourite band once again. Even though I disagree with Rich's opinion on the singing, it's nice to hear some actual arguments around your opinions. Classy.
You guys should definitely try out older Periphery too. "Somewhere in Time" -trilogy from their second studio album is something different than this, yet so Periphery at the same time. Trilogy includes songs "Muramasa", "Ragnarok" and "Masamune" (about 15 minutes combined).
#Periphery Somewhere in Time, Finland
- Väinö
seeing the lyrics just gave me a completely different view of this song ( in a good way )
#DavidMaximMicic "Everything's fine"(intro) followed by "Where is now", from Gatineau, Québec!
Wait wat lol I live there
@@J_Hardwater Ah oui? x)
@@gougou9113 depuis 97 :P
You two were so clamed when Spencer sing up to G5 LOL
Sorry but I think you’re wrong I think those Screams made the song it was a soft subtle song that turned into a bad ass
I actually had similar feelings you had on first listen of this song, but the song has grown on me over time, nonetheless, I understand your criticism, Periphery - Blood Eagle please
TundraL5Z that’s prolly gonna be too much for Kel.
Yeah, that's going to be even more difficult for then.
2:34 gives me chills every time
Do some Gazpacho next, love your stuff.
Get out of here the whole ending section is the best part of the song. Spencer always goes for the big notes on the album closer songs.
This mother sure can sing
Im sure with repeated listens it will start to make sense.
Give it a couple of listens. If you liked absolomb then I think you'll like this. Heil Stan is a bit on steroids compared to their other stuff.
Its interesting that you dislike the screams in the middle because thats absolutely my favorite part and I know also other people their favorite parts. So it might be whatever it is. But personally given that the song is the earth telling us like: why the fuck are you destroying me? I think the sudden power in the song and the screams absolutely conveys the feelings that I have about fear of the earth destroying before I reach the end of my life and the fears that I have for my children.
Hey guys definitely listen to flatline by periphery one of there best songs and there best guitar solo ever made in a song you would enjoy
such an underrated song, love that one
Hahahaha going straight from """""""""""""regular""""""""""""" vocals or typically clean vocals to this kind of screaming must be pretty daunting. I kinda eased into it over the course of a few years so I completely understand this reaction.
KEL AND RICH!
love the content and your passion for good music... please give either of these a go! both bands changed my music influence and life so dramatically!!!
both bands from Australia.
#Karnivool - Cote, We Are, New Day or All I Know
#DeadLetterCircus - The Cure, Alien, One Step or The Mile
love you !
We Are
If you want a more mellow #Periphery song then give #Erised a shot. Its one of there more tame songs but my god, that John Petrucci solo at the end!!
Sub'd either way.
Check out #Periphery Somewhere In Time trilogy (Muramasa/Ragnarok/Masamune) or anything off of Periphery II. Some of their best work by far.
Anyone else watching during quarantine? Lol
GARDEN IN THE BONES. PLEASE. NO MORE PERIPHERY UNTIL THAT SONG IS REVIEWED.
Thank you for your assessment Rich....I totally agree 💯%! Their talent is phenomenal ~ out of this world great! Their Genre is Djent, Progressive Metalcore. I compare them to the band Staind from Boston, Mass. Compare Staind’s albums Dysfunction vs Break the Cycle! One is angry screaming while the latter is controlled Alternative Rock of the early 2,000’s. When Periphery is kind of that Alternative Rock Genre they are next level.....butt, when Spencer Sotelo “Screams” in the Djent Genre it’s like night and day (IMO). In this video, Kel was physically changed when Spencer Screamed & looked at you Rich with what I perceived as disapproving eyes! Food for thought!
#thecontortionist Language I: Intuition
Rich, Spencer does the same on Absolomb, you didn't like that?
we all have our opinions. personally i love their screams. i wouldnt listen to them otherwise. they truely dont hold back any emotions. i love it!
You don't have to scream to show emotion
#Periphery - Trilogy
Tesseract - Concealing Fate. But the live studio 3 part version.
Currently my favorite Periphery song. The diversity in song makes it even more powerful, complex and satisfying, as its beautifully and masterfully done. Also, Periphery and other bands in this unique/technical, djent/progressive metal genre, requires the listener to "graduate up to" in order to appreciate it. As a musician myself, that has come easy. And this album is by far the best Periphey album to date. It shows that Misha and his crew took the time off to make it such. Well done.
Satellites even to the non-Preriphery fan is an unbelievable metal track... and the subject of the track is HUGE. So if you find the screaming and harsh vocals of this song 'as a minus', to the extent you must negatively comment on it... then you clearly do not understand and connect with this genre enough to appreciate it. Come back when you're ready ....
#Buckethead - Golden Eyes
Yea, no. They aren't being trendy. They could care less about what's popular, otherwise they wouldn't be in one of the lowest grossing genres. they said many times that they write what they like and periphery isn't their main source of income. which is why they can write whatever they like and not care if it sells as much. All thanks to their side hustles.
best album of the year for me in various styles: 2013 : "funk" (Rock Candy Funk Party : we want groove),,,,,2014 : (Voyager:V),(Devin Townsend:Casualties Of Cool),
,,,,,,,2015 : (the dear hunter:Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise), ( Steven Wilson:Hand. Cannot.

Where’s your Coheed and Cambria?? You two are missing out!!!! I know you two like the long interesting intertwined listenings!! Please do yourselves a favor and please checkout from their album Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness. A four part piece called The Willing Well. You will thank me later ;)
COMEDY? You should check out Bill Burr-Helicopter story.That’s some good shit right there.
Rich, how many times has someone told you that you remind them of Bob Saget?
You guys could react to bury the light from dmc 5!!!!!!!!!
Personally where I have trouble with Periphery generally is not the screaming parts but the clean parts. Where I always feel like I have to give it a few listenings before I can appreciate the song cringe-free.
I don't like spencer's poppy clean vocals, which quite honestly, although he's very skilled, to me, sounds more like something I would expect to hear from teenage punk rock bands like Simple Plan or some other crap, than in a metal band.
I actually like this, as she says it here, "wall of sound" they create when the whole thing just falls on you like a ton of bricks. I personally would've done away with some of the clean parts I found a bit cliché or "commercial", but not with the heavier scream parts.
Of course, as for any opinion on a piece of music, all of this is just that: opinions.
Rich, have you considered that you didn't like the screams, but it's just you as human not wanting to know what "the Earth" or "a human" wants to say? I think that you can find two subjects who try to talk to us, either the Earth or human. This songs shames us, as humans, and it makes us feel uncomfortable.
Kel felt it more like I did - scream has a message, and the subject wants us to realise, to wake up.
I don't think this song had a choice in artistic expression, because subject couldn't just "beautifully" convey the message about "going under". The subject kicks us in the face with the sudden transition and screams because subject thinks we deserve it and/or need it. I took some harm-related phrases from the lyrics,
"Left in the hands of the living, I burn
The mountain cracks
The plain will split in two and swallow where we live
The rising heat and the melting ice
The land we rape
It's suicide"
Burn, drown, torn apart, it's suicide - this is torture and at the end there's only death. Subject shouts, wanting humans to stop, and you certainly scream during torture. Rich mentioned the word 'desperation', this is what this scream meant for me, and it had to be the strongest scream Spencer could belt out. (and oh my, Spencer's vocals are fab on this track and whole P IV).
10/10 would like to be kicked in the face again. ;-)
#hailstan
There is nothing stereo-typical about these vocals. The looks on your faces when the beautiful and the brutal collide is priceless. Stop analysing the content and wether it fits with what you define as good music. The people that normally do these types of videos are vocal coaches, vocalists or band members. If you're just fans, great, but its not going to hold a lot of stock with anyone if you don't have some sort of genuine reason for your opinion. I have played in bands for over 12 years on guitar, bass and drums and before I shredded my voice, vocals as well. I can hear what Spencer is doing with those vocals and how high his range is. If you just think its screaming for the sake of screaming, this medium of music assessment is definitely not for you. Maybe check out someone like Bethroars for a professionals opinion. Might give you some perspective on how these "first reaction" clips should be. Otherwise you're just listening to a song and telling people why you do or don't like it, with no authority to back it up. Personal opinion though.
If you like this song and lune then you would absolutely love TesseracT #reactplease #painintheask
Well its a valid opinion, the screams are not for all ears, but you just have to give it a try, just listen more the track. I think in this song like he said the screams were meant to be like something desperate or desperation, wich i think fits perfectly on the song because its about our planet and global warming and all that stuff! So yeah its cool, Im a big fan but dont´get mad, respect all opions, just maybe you just need to listen more time this song, haha and I loved the pepper metaphor. Kudos for you guys! Peace!
I believe his vocal choice is to display the severity and importance of his message. I mean, it is technically the most important topic there is. As a dream theater/rush, fan I would think you would be interested in more more more.... More talent.... More power.... More passion, but I do understand everyone had their own perspective on things. 10 years ago, I might have agreed with you but as I've progressed as a music listener, I've grown to find that this song is delivered perfectly. I do have my limits with the harsh vocals too though. Still a great reaction though. Cheers Y'all!!
Please react to #leprous - forced entry
Check out TessaracT
i think spencer went overkill a bit on this one too at times, i really liked the high notes though personally, its a few other bits that got me.
They sound like my parents listening to music I like. "I think it's really neat except for that screaming stuff. It hurts my ears."
I will disagree with you because the scream and the high pitch singing was the best part of the song.
I respect your opinion. I did not like screams at first either, but I soon found that it adds an intensity that can't be replaced. It also and in dynamics to the song to break it up and keep it interesting. I feel it served it purpose, and he exploded with the highs after to really open it up. This song, for me, shows the desperation that we are in with this planet and how we are.killing it and no one cares. Some intensity is needed in a song like this. I loved it. It's only smiles is another great song about losing his sister and it cuts me to the core. I would highly recommend it.
I love screaming but I prefer but having it all
What's with all the downvotes?
I get that you don't like it but the idea that some of his techniques were "trendy" or whatever you were saying is a bit far..
you obviously dont listen to periphery enough or that genre cause the screams are apart of that music and that band. cant have light without darkness... but hey thats our opinions. i get screaming isnt everyones cup of tea... but thats just periphery. i wouldnt have it any other way. i love how they have there long ass songs that basically tells a story and one minute its soft and beautiful and the next minute your punched in the face with heavyness lol. i like the bi polar mood swings.
The volume is really low today. Can barely hear you.
Nigthwish=eva..my opiniom..
Guys, he's wearing a Metallica necklace. Of course his opinion is shit lmao.
Periphery absolomb please!
Please react to Racecar by periphery it’s a classic from their debut album
agree with their opinion, basically for me this was one of their weaker ballads, definitely doesnt hold a candle to Lune
#CaligulasHorse (Graves)
#BlindGuardian (And then There was Silence)
Although you're allowed to have your own opinion I must say your opinion is fucking wrong. As I've read most of the top comments I see that I am not the only one to think this, although I may not be saying it in the nicest way.
I would love to see an updated reaction to this to see if your minds have changed.
I love periphery, love the screams and the clean vocals, but I found this music an odd mix of both some times. I guess that I would enjoy it more without so much screams, but I continue liking this way too. I guess its more easy for me to like a song entirely screams, or almost entirely clean with few screams to highlight some emotions. Dunno
Tou are so wrong dude
I honestly have no idea why this song had so many requests. It's a good song but there are so many other better ones from that album.
