Periphery - Icarus Lives

[LongSchlongJohn]

Am I the only one bothered by the last 15 seconds of the song?...

Ahhh fuck it. REPLAY! :D

[Djentlee]

Anyone know who actually wrote these lyrics? Because I can never find which one it was.. :s

[Horgeon]

Saw them tonight just fucking brutal!! An incredible display of power, beauty melodies and virtuoso guitar riffing \../,

[HaggisNaggis]

Gotta say that Periphery is one of the best bands out there. Absolutely badass songs from very wide range. And if you count Bulbs songs as Peripherys you might just have the best band ever.

[iAmTheYan]

@HaggisNaggis Gotta say that that is some super hot garbage you are talking right there

[AshTheZ0mbie]

Korn33 is right. Look at korn. They sold out and now metal heads hate them. They lost all that fanbase they fought for as beginners.

[bananabean167]

xD 3:14 lolwut?

[TheZivy]

1:16 just lol

[Korn033]

I REALLY HOPE AND WISH that Periphery will never become to much famous that they become FUCKING MAINSTREAM AND WILL PLAY ONLY SHITTY MAINSTREAM MUSIC. Would be horrible. So many very good bands those music we liked until they became mainstream. Each time if a good band become mainstream they lost mostly his soul and roots. THUMPS UP IF YOU ALSO THINK SO!

[TheFunkInfection]

@Korn033 You think Periphery would ever sell out?

[THIRTEENTWO]

@Korn033 You want them to have no money so you can think youre cool? Bands deserve all the attention and money they can get. They don't make music so you can pretend you're special. 

[MichaelChiklisCares]

@Korn033 true true i only liked nu metal bands in the 90s 2000s, reveille ,genuflect. not mainstream they had only few albums.

[zTampa1337]

These growls and screams annihilates Spencer's whole repertoar.

[DeadpoolofSaDclan]

Screw you guys. Scott Stapp is the has the best version.

[artcellrox]

I'm gonna get flamed for this, but... I don't hear the difference in Casey and Sponce's vocals. :/

[cody181818]

Has a nice DEFTONES FEEL WITH A BRUTAL MUSSUGHA! fuck yea!

[goodnamepending]

See them live or watch a video recently, Spencer is great now hes had 2 years to practice

[MegaWiremonkey]

waay too many comments about the vocals D; C'mon peeps, in a band like Periphery vocals are like the least important thing, enjoy the awesome groove.

[MrCowboysfan4life]

@MegaWiremonkey u do have a point but when there r vocals u dont want them to suck so it is imprtant to have a good vocalist and in my opinion the best theve have so far is casey and jake

[MrCowboysfan4life]

unite with ravens on the shadows flight thats my nocturnal right ....best part of the song

[ifureadmyusernameusu]

Finally, a vocalist that doesn't sound like a schoolgirl :D

[ChainsawVsGod]

@ifureadmyusernameusu

He sounds like a generic metalcore vocalist to me.

[MrCowboysfan4life]

@ChainsawVsGod no way in my opinon he has one of the most unique vocal styles ever which makes him perfect for periphery its a shame that this is the only song he has done with them as far as i knw

[whatamalaysian]

BRUTALITY! *Shoa Kahn voice

[deathcoreisftw]

Spencer, Casey and also Chris are great vocalists who just happened to be in Periphery. They really shouldnt be compared.

[bowdown231]

this is real music.

[gothik226]

periphery is awsome i love screaming&singing to this song.

[DrummerRF]

I Liked this till 0:30

[EmoSkipper852]

this has some of the most complicated beats ive ever heard. it makes my brain melt. in all the best ways.

[MatthewsPercussion]

Anyone notice the creepy noises at the end?!

[saraband0]

@MatthewsPercussion

Reminded me of Beavis and Butthead



[drumboarder1]

Spencer > this guy

[IYARF]

So what if I played air guitar to this O_o

[gotenstyle2]

In 2 days Periphery got to play alongside with Dream Theater. I've never heard of this band. Any suggestions which are famous songs of Periphery? Thanks guys!

[ddensu]

@gotenstyle2 Totla Mad, Racecar, The Walk, almost every song in their homonimus album.

[Danelawz]

@gotenstyle2 This is their most famous song by far.

[BlackHorsesStampede]

He laughts like Beaves at the end lol

[zein2111]

This song is till 0:30. After that...no need to be listened....It has the most "punky" riff of all djent bands and they just ruined it....with a such "picking flower time" theme...

[saxonthebeach96]

I played this with my cereal

[mmmyeahgurligotswag]

tickled me djentitals !

[Tunturisorsa]

Is this album available for purchase with Sabol's vocals? I've only found with Spencer's

[Dander2600]

Yeah I like Casey better... too bad things didn't work out.

[AGooeyCookie]

I just think Spencer is a better singer

[Lealan17]

1/2 speed = full breakdown song.

[gunblade197]

i like spencers clean vocals more but this dude has some killer screams

[spawnshadow1]

@gunblade197 P.S. your mom has some killer screams as well in bed. ;)

[gunblade197]

@spawnshadow1 oh i didn't realize you were a necrophiliac i feel sorry for your dick

[prometheusconquers]

after getting into periphery just after chris left and spencer joined, i heard all their song's with spencer's vocals. After hearing casey's on this song, I have to say i prefer his take. maybe not his screams, but his cleans definitely. they just seem less strained

[Linuxftw11]

Icarus why dont you just die !!

[marcos76504]

PORTUGAL areee you ready for peripheryyy?

[ruilrbraz]

@marcos76504 EU ESTOU!

[numbdevil666]

damn, i was d 666668th view, 2 less would hav been nice

[Byobrulez]

This guy's screaming is 100x better than Spencer's

[mitchchalifoux]

@Byobrulez So is his singing

[Byobrulez]

@mitchchalifoux ehh, I like spencer a lil better.

[TheBlueDaisies]

@Byobrulez Spencer's got a better singing voice I think.

[omgletmejoin]

:10 where the headbanging begins

[Deadguychoking]

just listened to a pro song, but wtf is that at the end..?

[VegasPoker]

yeah periphery are great but i gotta say i prefer this dude's voice to spencer's

[Mjuzaism]

Put from Normal to 1.5x Speed and njoy :))

[shredfactor7]

This is my favorite version hands down

[n5r15]

People are talking crap like crazy on Spencer. I don't hate him, tho I'll admit I too prefer this vocalist but that's not all that's different here. The guitars sound SO much harsher SO much better in this version of it and to me that makes WORLDS of difference. Holy shit i prefer the hell out of this version... minus the creeper fart laughs at the end.

[Ghostman7777]

@AX3Swing3r

Synester Gates is complete garbage, don't ever compare him with John Petrucci.

[FatalCroissant]

This version is so much better than the album version. Casey kicks Spencer's ass as a singer. Sorry Spencer.. :(

[spawnshadow1]

@FatalCroissant lol i said the same thing about this song in the official vid. I agree with you 100%. The vocals are really great here then in the vid.

[mymomrocks8]

@FatalCroissant Not any more. Listen to some of his vocals on their update videos, or listen to Passenger.

[FatalCroissant]

@mymomrocks8 Listened to passenger and he got much better indeed. However, I still think Casey has more expression and variation in his voice. I am by no means saying Spencer is bad just venting my personal opinion.

[LeapingDodo]

@FatalCroissant you mean "Sponce" i assume, i do not know any 'Spencer'

[sjfan1]

3:15-3:30 = The greatest thing.

[jethro013]

What version is this? Sorry, I have just discovered Periphery a couple of weeks ago and I'm loving it!

[halflife909]

@jethro013 This is an older non album version withtheir old singer casey.

[jethro013]

@halflife909 Thanks man!

[XxJeremyTxX]

Omg the quality in the beginning is amazing

[TFIFH]

The lead guitar tone sounds exactly like Tosin Abasi.

[guillotinedeath]

if they get another vocalist it will be WAY better IMO

[DrumminBird]

@guillotinedeath You can't be serious. . .I don't think you quite understand how fucking amazing Casey Sabol is. I mean, did you even listen to his vocals? Pure ecstasy through and through.

[skulltac]

@guillotinedeath lol this is the old singer

[veiroelle]

Man..this song gets me soooo pumped!!!!!!

[Edge2437]

kinda sounds like Sikth.

[amithabajan2]

See you in London!

[mabuhayguy]

SEE YOU IN MANILA, MOFOS! THIS ROCKS!

[s3ri0us20]

@mabuhayguy Arch Enemy,Darkest Hour,August Burns Red,We came as Romans,Periphery and blesthefall. april 28,2011 amoranto stadium cant wait for pulp summerslam 12!!!

[WishfulThinkment]

some one tell me what this song is about lol?

[SASPython]

@WishfulThinkment In greek mythology, Icarus, the son of Daedalus, grew wings and escaped from somewhere (Crete or something). Hes not a god, and hes not an angel or demon, fuck that... he's Icarus! :D

[WishfulThinkment]

@SASPython oh wow thank you :D

[Zygotguy]

I'm neither angel not a demonspawn,

Though some will call me god, fuck that.

Unite with ravens on their shadow flights,

It's my nocturnal right. Gravity is just a mortal's vice.

[SaturnineXTS]

Casey was so much better than spencer.

[ComfyNumb1989]

Listen to this in half the speed. It sounding fucking weird.

[Dano94910]

@ComfyNumb1989 NO



[sonordrumsdude]

golfFan9232, you obviously dont have any knowledge about drumming, portnoy is one of the worlds finest drummers and you cant say shit about that.

[GolfFan9232]

@MIKEPORTNOY screw you, Portnoy is a shitty excuse for a drummer

[WishfulThinkment]

@GolfFan9232 Your kidding, Idc what this guy said lol. But portnoy is an amazing drummer, If not the worlds best.

[SaturnineXTS]

@WishfulThinkment

Definitely not the best, but great alright.

[MlKEPORNTOY]

Gay band.

[VenomMixes]

@MlKEPORNTOY The only gay band you'll find around here is your gastric band. fat shit.

[TheTennisDrummer]

If your here because of Luke Holland give me a THUMBS UP. Bitch.

[MrSoggypancakez]

@TheTennisDrummer fail..

[MlKEPORNTOY]

Gay band.

[2moonsrock]

@MlKEPORNTOY Found the EXACT same comment from you on two Meshuggah videos, which makes you a robot. A trolling robot.

[DaveNo127]

@MlKEPORNTOY good sir, you can not call someting gay when you have a name like "MIKEPORNTOY" and expect your insult to be taken seriously...

[RyanPerson]

@DaveNo127 I seriously hope you're joking

[coalblack666]

@RyanPerson it's cuz he spelt it Porn Toy

[RyanPerson]

@coalblack666 Oh hahaha never noticed that

[AX3Swing3r]

@DaveNo127 Mike used to be cool when he played with dream theatre. But yeah, I mean, who would want to play with JOHN FUCKING PETRUCCI when you could be playing with Synyster Gates

[TheMarkyy]

@AX3Swing3r fail troll.

[brandonmarks13279]

@DaveNo127 i couldve sworn that said mikeportnoy untill i read your comment... haha

[TheKillerExpert1]

LOL at the end XD

[GuidedJoke]

What's the link between bulb and periphery?

[MrGigaflare]

@GuidedJoke Bulb is misha's solo project and alias, misha is periphery's main guitar player and band leader.

[bigcat5994]

What the fuck was that part at the end? O.o haha pretty weird.

[krazykid44]

A Djentlemans song

[jbabob]

I prefer this drum take, the ghost notes in the intro make it sound so much cooler!

[Strife153]

@jbabob theyre played in the actual album recording too but its just the mix doesnt favor it.... which sucks :(

[mousebiscuit]

@jbabob Travis Orbin FTW!

[OHmygodXoBil3]

i prefer this vocalist to the current one :P

[Nihongoking123]

3:13

[xXMusicxMadnessXx]

This sounds really awesome, apart from the fucked up part at the end after the song finishes xD

[danbobdavis]

Djent or not djent, Misha is the man. Spectacularly original producer, talented guitarist and musicians, and I'd also like to point out that this band was one of the inspirations for the Djent bandwagon, not the other way around.

[SavageWakka]

time to find foogledo32's comment

[KingGoreGoth]

You fucks are starting to make me sick with this djent bullshit, bout almost as bad as the deathcore assholes, soon as some new subgenre is created you dorks want to get on the wagon and djent it up

[JazzcastleMcSkyrend]

@KingGoreGoth I totally agree. At first, I thought this djent thing was kinda cool; I love Meshuggah, and it was great to see some other bands attempt a similar style. Now all these djent bands suck, and they just rip off the previous one. It's hilarious how they all try and make some intelligent band name that has to do with math or metaphysics, but it never works. It's so retarded that it's almost adorable.

[4855712]

@KingGoreGoth You were so busy cussy people out you forgot to say if you liked the song or not. Tough guys like you GothBoy are a dime per dozen on the internet. Lighten up.

[Pillars0fSerpents]

@KingGoreGoth Yes, Mr GoreGoth, you dumb cunt. Metal was once a new genre, too.

It's just a genre that takes elements from Metal, Jazz and whatever else they want. What's so wrong with that?

[garyheller55661]

How does Bulb wash his clothes? Laundry deterdjent.

[tigrisnakkana]

Is it just me, or is this version heavier in the mainriff? It sounds just.. bigger. And i fucking love it!

[tmsozars]

nice drop g awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NeoFoXMH]

@tmsozars No, more like nice Seven String.

[teamSKDM]

This song gives a djentle tingle to my djenitals.

[beccaflickan]

96 people are either Demons or Angels

[TheGameHive]

@beccaflickan interesting methafor

[MisterHam86]

Hey my band PSIANCE is looking for a vocalist! Location doesn't matter as long as you can record a demo of your vocals ... go to my profile and watch the video PSIANCE is looking for good metal vocalist. For fans of After the Burial, Periphery, and Volumes

[gangsterthomas1000]

GRAVITY IS JUST A FEEBLE PLOOOOOOOOWT

awesome

[Leone982]

Not my kind of music, nevertheless, kudos to the band. Awesome skills.

[Petrasilchen]

the best version in my opinion :)

[TosiekDegutis]

Hey people, I just read a few comments here, some of them are kinda offensive I would say, what's with the "gay"/"faggot" thing? As I said in my first comment, I knew nothing about this band before, are they openly gay or something? And if yes, so what? As a professional musician I'm really impressed with their musicianship, their skills, their sound and vocals. Shortly speaking it's a great band, and that's what's important wouldn't you say?

[derdudeldadelmetal]

luv this song

[TosiekDegutis]

I was looking for stuff related to the word "Icarus", I just uploaded a new tune called "Icarus", and I wanted to see how other artists approached this famous figure from Greek mythology. I found you guys, I never heard you before, you have great sound, killer guitars and everything. I wanted to leave my "Icarus" here as a comment, but my tune wouldn't stand a chance here, it's gentler than yours, so I live here one of my other tunes which might survive the onslaught of your Icarus :-)

[limpbits]

@foogledoo32 you speak as if your opinion holds more value than anyone elses. if youre going to criticize bands or people who like said bands then at least give logically sound reasoning supporting your opinion. I observe with you a person who feels brave talking shit over the internet or does not see trolling as a totally bitch-ass act.

[Love2skate661Bako]

@limpbits spoken like a top comment should be

[gangsterthomas1000]

Sorry but is it me or are Periphery's past members better than the current ones?

I like the vocals and the drums better in this version than the new one

[ainsleywalker]

@gangsterthomas1000 People are often torn on the vocals (i personally think Spencer is quality lately),Matt Halpern the current drummer is amazing !

[gangsterthomas1000]

@ainsleywalker no of course both of the new guys are amazing! but I just like this version of Icarus Lives a bit better than the music video one... but then again the Icarus EP version has much better vocals, which are equal to these actually :P but indeed he is a pretty amazing drummer :D

[TheGameHive]

@gangsterthomas1000 same members just an diffrent studio recording.

[ChaosWeaver138]

@TheGameHive Nah, bro. This version has Casey singing. Spencer is the current vocalist.

[TheGameHive]

@ChaosWeaver138 Oh yeah, sorry. my comment was invalid.

thanks for the info

[AndyAngelZ]

the only good deathcore i've actually heard of is Born of Osiris... but they are becoming more progressive and technical and are not the stereotypes of deathcore, they're actually unique, especially "The Discovery" Album... its crazy

[Testament2222]

That riff on huge bass boost headphones on full blast just caved my face in!

[FUCKINMETALROCKS]

The other versions better



[legonlegoff]

Where does Bulb go to get his teeth checked? The Djentist.

[neilorourke71]

@legonlegoff djentle dental to be exact

[ravenFF32]

@legonlegoff I don´t know if I adore you or if I hate you for that joke... djeesus christ

[TLJCBFH]

@legonlegoff HAHA

[legonlegoff]

I'm no thumb-slut, just pure curious... vote this comment up if you like Casey Sabol's vocals over the current singer. (I'm much prefer this version)

[gangsterthomas1000]

oh god, I see a Petrucci versus Mansoor battle.

They're both very good, you can't compare them since their playing styles are quite different. Sure they both play metal, but Mansoor plays Djent and Petrucci plays Prog so there is no comparing them.

[blackshadowbass]

Those vocals are pretty fucking cool in my opinion

[Directorbbz]

I think Casey should come back and do the harsh vocals and let Spencer do the clean vocals.

[ibaneeez1]

@Directorbbz

or maybe do both...imho :P

[Directorbbz]

@ibaneeez1 I said what I said because I like Spencer's cleans over Casey's, but Casey's harsh vox over Spencer's. y'dig?

[SnorkyO]

Amazing!

[ravenFF32]

Leave him be, guys. I wouldn´t ask someone with no knowledge of basketball about his opinion about a game, because that person wouldn´t have any idea. The same way, we shouldn´t take his opinion about Periphery into consideration, since he clearly doesn´t have any idea about music
