Periphery - FRAK THE GODS

[TheDerekTFarrell]

@Ganymedify shut up. Lol. The time signature discussers are fans of prog, stupid. We're nerdy. Not emo. And nerds can rock just fine.

[Alex112286]

By your command.

[MelodicMetal456]

@lesclaypoolthesecond is right most of it is in 4/4 but when it crosses into half time it branches off to 7/4 and 5/4 timing. (sometimes) The one thing that makes it crazy is the awkwardly placed extended measures. But who gives a fuck, Periphery is sick as shit. They are young kids that can play more technical and cleaner then most long term musicians.

[projectsonicboom]

@Ganymedify tru that bro

[Micr0cut]

where did the awesome vocals go

[ainsleywalker]

@Micr0cut Look at the date this was uploaded dude. Herp derp.

[kilipeti]

this is my favourite song off the album. 2 favourite riffs! heavy djent at its finest!

[Ganymedify]

I cant decide whats worse, the idiots debating over dumb genres names or the morons fighting over what kind of rhythm a band uses! Who gives a flying fuck! What kind of metalheads are you douchers?!... im guessing the tight pants sporting, mascara wearing, arm swinging douchers that i always see getting their asses kicked in the pit?? Must be

[undeadshook]

never heard them before pretty cool i will give love to any battlestar geeks they do kinda wish they were Botch though

[gunpowderjoe1]

you're all fags...they only care if you buy their shit.

[paddymoep]

@gunpowderjoe1 Which would in return make them faggots too, yes.

[gunpowderjoe1]

@paddymoep so many fags...

[KeithDeuser]

geez people, stop arguing and just google "ostinato rhythms." two different time signatures being played at the same time.

[mchangkiri]

Dang!!..where was I all this time?

[MlKEPORNTOY]

Frak this band.

[SfL3g3nds]

@MlKEPORNTOY How bout stop critisising and if you fucking hate the band, why the fuck would you listen to it? Fuck off and go listen to your baby boy justin beiber, stop going onto other bands saying they suck, get a fucking life and fuck off. Kthxbai

[psyckla5]

Good I never been a fan of the clean chorus and screamed verses

[nat5an]

Frackin' toasters.

[gangsterthomas1000]

ah MrGuitarandvocals is spamming here too? let him be, that's all he does on a lot of periphery videos

[thederdrik]

So sick, and all you "nay sayer's" can go suck a dik. Go back to your Goo Goo Dolls please.

[MrGuitarandvocals]

@thederdrik

Beat it homo

[Tviruskillu]

@thederdrik Don't listen to MrGuitarandvocals...he's got nothing better to do with his life but rag on people's musical taste. Looks like he's interested on raging on people about Periphery right now.

[DerFuhrerfurimmer]

Djentlemen?

[TheGameHive]

@DerFuhrerfurimmer Djentlemen

[truncale74]

man, the phrasing in this song is freakin nuts! =) *puts guitar down and pouts* ♪♫

[shaneacmohamed]

jent..jjjent...jent jent :D

[FRND23]

where to get this version?

I don't like the Icarus ep version!

[mikaelHD]

better than redbull !

[binty47]

I like this tone better ^^

[binty47]

too good ...

[AnubisWarGod]

Anyone miss alex???

[AlexXxtestify]

@AnubisWarGod i do

[thelastsandlins]

frak me tender!

[ConnerDrummer]

Snare sounds Godly.

[LadiesandDjentlemen]

Friend and Subscribe for the good music!

[auxpower]

"frak"? lol periphery must've liked battlestar galactica

[yokiddingme]

@auxpower this song is about battlestar gallactica have you heard the 2011 version of this?

[MykeMetyll]

I can see the mosher frat boy lunkheads have discovered Periphery. Shouldn't you go back to listening to deathcore for some BR00T4L xXxHARDCORExXx BREAKDOWNS?

[IGNsucks]

@MykeMetyll HAHAHAHA...............dont frak with the frat boys.

[MykeMetyll]

@IGNsucks

I'll frak those 4Loko-chugging douchebags up any day.

[MykeMetyll]

@limpbits

Cute stuff. And I do listen to Angels And Airwaves. Space rock at its best.

[TRuckerMOLE1]

3:10 .... i want some

[Wafflemix86]

Well Jeez, you didnt even take me out to a nice dinner before you FUCKED MY MIND!

[Nabster98]

if you are a real fan you will NOT get in the pit. you will stand back and let the retards do that while you actually count out the rhythms with your hands. if you cant count it, get the fuck out poser

[lesclaypoolthesecond]

@Nabster98 if you're a real fan, you jump out of the pit and beat the shit out of the faggot who's playing with his hands instead of appreciating the music. besides, the whole thing's in 4/4. get the fuck over yourself you music theory elitist

[MykeMetyll]

@lesclaypoolthesecond

Wow, I think I hate you.

[xMetalUpYourA55x]

@lesclaypoolthesecond

If you are a real fan, you listen to their music and forget the fuck about the others. its fucking annoying to see retards doing pits bothering the ones who are Headbanging and enjoying the music, seriously.

[lesclaypoolthesecond]

@xMetalUpYourA55x the people in the pit are enjoying the music just as much as the people jerking their dicks to the music or whatever the fuck you do. I wouldn't bother you, but don't fucking insult me

[MykeMetyll]

@lesclaypoolthesecond

You call people faggots and expect them not to "fucking insult [you]"? I hope your skull gets fractured in a pit, you neanderthal.

[upcomingscreamer666]

@lesclaypoolthesecond

dude chill ^^

some people jsut arnt into the agressiveness of a pit, because you can get some dicks who just run around smacking people in the face, some peple just liketo jump about and headbang , others like to run around. its a preference. but i judt dont like the people who go around just to hurt people, if that makes sense. but the music itself i think is very creative. ^^ keep rocking peeps

[lesclaypoolthesecond]

@upcomingscreamer666 i know dude i hate those fuckers too. but i also hate those who are like "oh people who throw down don't know shit about music, and they're a bunch of monkeys"

[Cgray611]

@xMetalUpYourA55x Forget the frack* about others.

[iWentToNam]

@lesclaypoolthesecond Agreed. Songs can be in 4/4 and sound good. you can have 4/4 polyrhythms which sound sick like in this song. just following a basic structure and coming back around to the first beat. the drumming especially stands out for me.

[jdrum021]

@lesclaypoolthesecond just because somebody knows a time signature does nottttt mean they know music theory. time signatures are the most basic concept of basic music theory lol

[TheLightOfDay247]

@lesclaypoolthesecond Fucking thank you! Misha even said himself they usually write music in 4/4. It is the guitar riffs extensive bar range and rotating percussive hit points that give the illusion of an odd time signature. Periphery fucking rocks!

[lesclaypoolthesecond]

@TheLightOfDay247 exactly. thank god for someone who actually gets it. just because people aren't pussies and throw down, it doesn't mean they don't know their shit

[cheyeguy]

@lesclaypoolthesecond great point but i just have to point out that the whole thing isnt in 4/4! most of it is but some parts are different! I guess technically you could count the whole thing as 4/4 and eventually match everything back up in the end like Meshuggah, but im looking at it in a different way that would make a little more sense to play in my opinion! lol

[lesclaypoolthesecond]

@cheyeguy i guess. you can notate it however you want

[choadchafer]

@lesclaypoolthesecond shut up.

[ainsleywalker]

@lesclaypoolthesecond Dont be a dickhead, not everyone wants to pit

[jtmcneil90]

@lesclaypoolthesecond haha seriously. "this is a cool song but what's the TIME SIGNATURE??!! is it like 5/4 7/8? or i know! 11/57!!! it's gotta be like one they invented. that is the only valid explanation"

[E3tiger]

@Nabster98 You sound like a cunt

[jsera7573]

@Nabster98 you'd have to be really retarded to have to count 4/4 timing...

[PocterDepper]

@Nabster98 Haha I would hate to go to a show with you. count the rhythms with your hands? callin people posers, man you're a tool.

[Discreetarcher3]

@Nabster98 who ''counts rhythms'' at a fucking periphery concert? cockhead

[Dannyboj875]

@Nabster98 I'd feel pretty stupid counting out basic 4/4 with my hands...

[ElastiCSacK42]

@Nabster98 lmfao everybody hates you cause youre a fag lmfao lololololol btw real fans get into the music, you think a band wants the see the crowd going insane and having fun, or playing patty cake to the rhythm? haha youre a fuckin jerk off

[BNIRecords]

Please..Someone...HELP!!!! MY face melted off!!!!

[CeEj91xD]

You should....try eating cereal with this song

[yoyolover1213]

If Blake is reading this! >:D BLEW MY FUCKING MIND!♥

[0stringking0]

This is Bulb, not Periphery

[stevenavm]

@0stringking0 lol bulb wrote it but it is indeed a periphery song

[kdbaxter666]

Chris Adler told me that Periphery was the shit. The hipster line was funny.

[Xtreme090]

Fuck my learning by ear skills, it does not allow me to learn this :<

gief bulb skills :<

[sexuallobster134679]

@Xtreme090 on guitar? open notes and hammer ons from open notes, it's not that hard guitar-wise :P

[Xtreme090]

@sexuallobster134679

yeah right after the comment i gave it a shot, its pretty doable ^^

[sexuallobster134679]

@Xtreme090 sounds pretty bad ass though :P

[surfthecentre]

@sexuallobster134679 It probably is considering the ridiculous polyrythms and the amount of stops and changes

[suomik1988]

I came here because I actually discovered Periphery on my own through my own musical endeavor. No other worldy influence fashioned the aid in my search.

[GoreGross09]

@suomik1988 Would you like a trophy for having discovered the band all by yourself?

No one likes a hipster.

[KayvaanMatos]

@suomik1988 So did I, but I have also found many bands through word of mouth. Endeavor my tush, "bragging" like that makes you look like a douche.

[suomik1988]

@KayvaanMatos Well I think writing that drunk made it easier to be misunderstood. I always see posts about how other facebook posts from bands mention the artist in their update and the people always say something like "so and so brought me here!" I just wanted periphery to know that they are such a good band, it was only their "chi" and talent that ripples through the world on a quantum level and manifested the idea in my head to listen to their music.

[90fourninety]

Djent puns aren't funny.

[BioGeometric066]

@90fourninety Oh yes they are.

[n5r15]

I dread the day Spencer puts down some vocals over this masterpiece... Love the band otherwise.

[xxblackvomitxx]

@n5r15 He already did, a couple months ago... It's on the Icarus Lives! EP

[Inuhater]

Who cares what genre it is and get in the pit.

[tobinator1317]

@Inuhater I spy a fellow rocker! I could definitely mosh my heart out to this song.

[TheSolidspruce84]

@Inuhater You want a real pit. Head to the next Slayer show and see the difference.

[Seakipz]

sounds djental

[globalchaos1984]

Why wasn't this on their album?

[phrozenbit]

When I hear this, I don't have to breath. I'll live on Periphery.

[OMNINIGKILL]

This is the first time I've listened to periphery and they are fucking awesome.Killer shit.

[kablatcher]

The only good part of this song is the BSG reference.

[ItsNotActuallyFunny]

@kablatcher Except it isn't.

[Xtreme090]

@kablatcher and ofc the fact that ur retarded comment made me lol over how retarded and stupid it was.

[ZACY29]

I do not like the lyrics they put to this song at all there instremental is all I want \m/

[monacohd]

I like the part when he starts singing

[RodrigoAmaral666]

Stop inventing new names for genres...

[BaDMrFrOsTii]

@RodrigoAmaral666

You're kidding, right?

I've been hearing Math Metal for a while.

Its just another term for Prog since it's a complicated form of music.

[RodrigoAmaral666]

@BaDMrFrOsTii

Dude, I don't know exactly what Math Metal and Mathcore are.

But I meant the name "Djent", which is the "new" genre (or not).

[Seakipz]

@RodrigoAmaral666 djent isn't a genre

it's a technique which is almost simular to palm muting.

It's in fact palm muting but the place were you are muting is more towards the

neck sooo.....

[BaDMrFrOsTii]

@RodrigoAmaral666

I was reading in Revolver magazine that Djent is a term made by the guitarist from Meshuggah, so no one here made that name up either.

[jewman26]

why is 'your mum' in the tags?

[ASSLICKERADAS]

That AGCFAD is djust great. My favorite tuning, next to B and two steps down.

[marquaaaaa]

the song is almost ruined with lyrics in it..

[Kamisguitar]

One of their easier songs, jut really fast, which makes it hard to play.

[maneatingtoilets]

I cant think of any Djokes! (see..)

[MrSwac31]

about this it's not really math metal or djent it's Mathcore ( a song song that looks abit like this one is "Early Grave" from Architects). Periphery is known by some poeple for being Djent Band, what is abit untrue, they use some of the aspect of Djent but it's mathcore ( know too as progressiv Metalcore, or technical metalcore). I love Meshuggah but they are completly different from meshuggah!

[MrSwac31]

@MrSwac31 i gorget to add, mostly they are mathcore, but in some songs they actually do some Djent but in most of the cases it's mathcore or, OR math metal ( more rare )

[Samedition987]

@MrSwac31 FYI Djent isnt a genre as your refering it is...its a picking style used mostly by, but not exclusive to, metal guitarists.

[MrSwac31]

@Samedition987 i know that but this term is used by some poeple to decribe a new wave of artist that are Progressive/math metal but who use really a lot this sound "Djent", down here i saw some comments like "Djesus..." or stuff like that, here i supose they talk about the genre that doesn't exist, Djent. But mostly when poeple says Djent isn't a genre it's because it has a meaning, but praticly name of genre of music have a different meaning : Rock,Punk,Metal.

[midgaard666]

@Samedition987 djent is the tone of the guitar..

[ExceriusGuitar]

@Samedition987 You don't really have any idea what you're talking about, do you?

[EFileTahi]

This sounds really sweet, very melodic to any mortal's ears. I mean, its impossible to not like this.

[KmartGuitar]

Frak me sideways!!

[COLUMBINE1818]

This song Djented my skull. At least it didn't brain my damageamageamageamage.

[MahZahBalls]

mmm. So much Flavor.

[metallon]

why all the subgenres guys? why can't it all (Protest, AAL, Meshuggah, Periphery, etc.) just be progressive/experimental metal?

[Zernius]

@metallon because it is. some people just like to say otherwise. i totally agree with you though.

[metallon]

@Zernius makes it more confusing. oh well.

[majorblood87]

@metallon its not like anyone on this video had anything to do with naming these sub genres

[metallon]

@majorblood87 who said anyone in the video had anything to do with it?

[Zernius]

my brain is so happy right now.

[fredios93]

This sounds like mathcore but it isn't... its 4/4, and i admit most mathcore is shit with the exception of Protest the hero and The Human Abstract.

[ndobrev]

This remind me of "Sikth" :)

[metallon]

@desse56 dude listen to the song. the WHOLE THING is in 4/4

[SevenPairsPinky]

Sorry, but 'math metal' is an insult to music like this, which is classified as: Djent

Thanks for the upload tho.

[IGNsucks]

I FRAK to this song all the time.

[mattnsim]

this is......

[speedmaniak2743]

epic djent is epic..

[gothicgypsyy]

perfect. -3

[desse56]

Wow...How the fuck come this aint in the album?!

[CatastrophicMcIntosh]

I listened to this song while jacking off. Best fucking orgasm ever.

[Cgray611]

@CatastrophicMcIntosh Oh yeah? Did you go along with the beat of the song?

[bodhiskyy]

As much as I love this band I can only listen to the instrumentals. I appreciate what the vocalist does, and he does have some beastly growls, but damn sometimes when he sings it just tears right through my brain and I just cannot continue listening for the life of me. I know its "just listen to the music man" but I cant help it, its just how I am. I like my metal with a fat heap of gurgling, brutal, dick melting screams

[Jonath89]

periphery - evidence that there is a god.

[DevilsHaircut94]

I listen to this song while taking dumps.

Best fucking dumps ever.

[SSTemplar]

I listen to this whilst flying my MK.II Viper.

[SOCIOPATHPSYCHOPATH]

quite a lame

[Djentard]

@SOCIOPATHPSYCHOPATH You go around saying everything is lame, quite a troll.

Troll on, brother.

[silverwolf122]

got an A in my maths paper.... owe it all to this song :)

[BrilliantIrony]

I came here because of BattleStar Galactica.

[arnarfreyrable]

@BrilliantIrony I Djust came......

[CheddarGetter]

@BrilliantIrony I came here cuz BSG and Periphery is a Gods like combination!!

[wordsandmusic93]

@BrilliantIrony Ditto. Battlestar Galactica for the win!

[Downcure]

@BrilliantIrony Mbuahhahahah so i'm not the only one to notice that XD

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

@BrilliantIrony

battle star gallactica used this song?



[lkaruga]

@KreatorOfDeath1985 No, in BSG they usualy say "Frak" instead of "Fuck". They also say "Oh my gods!" all the time and often speak about the gods... Frak The Gods.

[Slipknotrocksitsic]

.. And so, the gods were frakked.

[charleswerth]

Periphery: putting the MENTAL back into instrumental

[lambofbrims]

7 people cant feel it

[Crimsonmaggot138]

Djesus Christ O_O

[taythedud]

This isn't even Frak the gods.

[ChrisYoung1989]

@taythedud

...yes it is, it's just the song without vocals

[Thrashman1990]

@taythedud Yeah, it is.

[undertakerattic]

@taythedud yes it is!!!!!

[xxxslayerxxx666]

i know the whole concept of ghost notes are to be basically unheard....but really it's not cool(yeah it adds texture, but it's basically invisible if the music is too heavy, even to drummers) it really hides the immense talent of the drummer, it takes enough talent just to have the memory to play the song....ghost notes with this type of music(ESPECIALLY animals as leaders!!!) makes a song that is already pretty fucking impossible, and then times it by infinity, cause you can barely hear them!

[pyropeople117]

Spencers vocals are tight now!

[damulac1]

intro = <3

[NoaOno]

Yeah even though there are huge differencies in the album, Misha writes very predictable and if you're gonna be a fan for long you gotta like the overall sound. This can noticed especially on the demos.

[xBornxOfxOsirisx]

If you want to hear more brutal groove/tech death, go check out Ænimus. Type it into youtube - Ænimus - 'The Awakening' Such a sick song.
