A modern metal band known for complex arrangements and heavy riffing since their 2010 debut.
For their sound, start with 'Garden In The Bones' and 'Icarus Lives!', one shows the melodic side, the other the technical riffing that got people talking.
They helped define a sound that wasn't really a genre, the title of their 2021 album 'Periphery V: Djent Is Not a Genre' says it plain. Songs like 'Garden In The Bones' show they can write with melodic pull while keeping the technical edge. Their seven studio albums have become a reference point for progressive metal that doesn't forget to be heavy.
Misha Mansoor started the project in 2005, but the lineup took time to settle. Their self-titled 2010 debut put them on the map, and they've kept releasing records that mix progressive metal with djent and electronic touches. The two-part 'Juggernaut' in 2015 and later albums like 'Periphery V' show they're still refining that blend.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
