Editor's note

Periphery's progressive metal mixes djent with melody

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.

Periphery started in 2005 as guitarist Misha Mansoor's project, though the lineup took a while to settle. Their self-titled debut came out in 2010, mixing progressive metal with djent and electronic touches. That record put them on the map in modern metal circles.

They've released seven studio albums since, including 'Periphery II: This Time It's Personal' in 2012 and the two-part 'Juggernaut' in 2015. Songs like 'Reptile' and 'Blood Eagle' show their taste for complex arrangements and heavy riffing, while 'It's Only Smiles' and 'Garden In The Bones' have more melodic pull.

The band includes Mansoor on guitar along with Mark Holcomb, Jake Bowen, Spencer Sotelo on vocals, Matt Halpern on drums, and Adam Getgood on bass. They put out 'Periphery V: Djent Is Not a Genre' in 2021.
