Periphery - Icarus Lives!

[simonwest1977]

like lost prophets first album

[Cataclysm31]

Great music... The singing's a little poppy though ain't it?

[augustburnsalex]

@Cataclysm31 nope

[MiloMarsh]

as tight as a cold nun 

[manvaix]

Modern music sucks

[hoood]

@manvaix 0/10

[firatbalkaya]

Periphery and Protest the Hero are fuckin awesome. They know how to make melodic songs with "chaos" idea

[enzistrachenzi]

djent inside me

[wolverine6511]

Im an old metal head, this band rocks...if you are so narrow minded of not being able to listen to other bands other than the ones that were out in the 80's... you are missing out.

[blankenator62]

@goodboy196 I never said I liked AA. All I meant was that the low end rhythms with added synthesizers are similar. And by the way, NO band can become that popular and have "no talent." You think you know what talent is start your own band and try it out yourself. It's not easy.

[mm5192]

@blankenator62 I would argue that it's easier than you think as long as you look the part and know the right people. Granted, you need to be able to chug those generic rhythms in time and have a good stage presence, but in the end it's all about aesthetics and selling product. Long as you look marketable, you're in. That being said, I don't like post-hardcore especially not AA and honestly i cant seem to get into periphery, but i have a little more respect for them

[DAVIDCALDERA23]

@mm5192 you should check out their old music with the original singer fucking amazing totally different style from this. like you said, this is aimed at marketing,

[mm5192]

@DAVIDCALDERA23 Perhaps I will, thanks for the tip!

[DAVIDCALDERA23]

@mm5192 here you go, look this up listen to eat a couple of times before you make a decision. Also make sure you listen to it on a descent sound system and blast that shit so you can get the full effect… let me know what you think after a couple days.

Periphery Bulb - Icarus Lives! (with Jake Veredika)

[Bakke95]

I saw there here in Italy! Epic ^^

[blankenator62]

If there was a hybrid of Breaking Benjamin and Asking Alexandria, this would be it.

[goodboy196]

@blankenator62 asking alexandria are generic and fucking homo queers with no talent. there no way close to progressive metal. their generic lyrics and "post-hardcore" garbage.

[smrtsk8er]

@blankenator62 wrong

[progcody817]

perifidey love that shit

[DjentmanDev6996]

This is the first Djent band i got into. I love these guys! \m/

[t1812o]

Calls Emergency Services...

ES: Hi what is your emergency?

Me: I need to report a rape.

ES: Dammit if this is another replay button reference...!!

[L1ven]

@t1812o

worst joke what I have seen this year.

[jipak93]

Finally! Good metal with clean vocals.

[Hasaio]

this sounds framiliar , i might have heard it before on pandora

[xXsvartsmurfXx]

This shits awesome! wanna watch me cover new groove? click my namen or copy the link have fun! /watch?v=cQnCkKTS8xc&feature=c­ontext&context=G23caa8aFAAAAAA­AAAAA

[Wiater1995]

i dont get the point of having 3 guitarists in a band, but hey, they sound ok live

[RideTheLightning1995]

@Wiater1995 harmonies harmonies and more harmonies

[Wiater1995]

@RideTheLightning1995 yeah but they dont seem to actually use this additional guitar to harmonise. cause what you hear from periphery may just as well be played with a smaller amount of instruments

[FourthHorseman666]

@Wiater1995 No, the harmonies are there, it's just that during the heavier parts, they lock in. All New Materials is a much better example as to why they have 3 guitars.

[mobydick2461]

Sweet jam video! :D

[phreestylesk8r]

this video has been popping up on every song i look up in the suggestions box haha, love that shit!

[teddy4dvids]

musically not that exciting or inventive in my opinion and the singer is really irritating in my personal opinion solo was good but the song didnt seem to have a very strong structure at all

[koolkat7070]

i believe that somday they will be more then what they are now. like if u agree?

[PaintBallXE]

PERIFFERY... LOVE THAT SHIT

[Schuytown]

@PaintBallXE "Peri(ph)ery", Spell that shit

[chrisplaysdrums09]

@PaintBallXE *Periphery

[TheAbsolvedCydonian]

@chrisplaysdrums09 I'm pretty sure it was a play on words with "riff," not a misspelling.

[vomitoriumbassist]

this is not bad at all.. they have some skills musically! i enjoyed it!

[jduce68]

just want to say to @mysteriousDSF you might be right but this is not pop metal its a genre called jent and anyone that gave this band a thumbs down needs to recollect there thumb and stick it up there ass

[blizzzard900]

@jduce68 You mean djent..

[Brendanlikesthis]

@jduce68 I think you mean "djent". Either way, "Djent" is not a genre. This genre is progressive. The term "djent" was coined by the specific tone of the guitars.

[mysteriousDSF]

@jduce68 lol, it's "djent"... I know that... alright, everybody scolding my pop-metal comment, the singer's melodies and qualities are quite fine pop. Get over it.

[RELEVANT2KILL]

everything is blue or dark then there's the orange amp that completely appears out of place

[PatrikF666]

Where can i get the old versions of theirs songs? fucking hate the clean vocals.

[keithreeder]

@PatrikF666

Never understood the appeal of that godawful "puking into a toilet bowl" vocal style you seem to miss, myself.

Probably something to do with me not being 12 years old...

[jkwttrs]

Well it was good until the vocals started then it went to shit!

[phreestylesk8r]

@jkwttrs if you dont like it then shut the fuk up and listen to the instrumental or the older versions!

[keithreeder]

@jkwttrs

Yeah, damn him for actually being able to sing, eh?

[Ap0ph1s15]

Is there any reason why whenever I try to type a comment the text box lags and I type a sentence and it would take a lil bit to regester and actually type it?

[ThePaparoachfan4ever]

omg, that riff 0_o

[brandonmarks13279]

I thought kratos killed him and took his wings... XP

[mysteriousDSF]

At the end of the song, I was waiting for the "Thank you for purchasing Periphery's self-titled debut long-play record" thing...

[mysteriousDSF]

Periphery are pop-metal. And it's fine.

[ZPDUDE87]

@mysteriousDSF pop metal? really now? the fuck is that supposed to mean?

[smrtsk8er]

@mysteriousDSF pop-metal infers they are popular. Periphery is not popular or known at all except to people in the metal scene. Pop and metal don't even go together since metal is about being an outcast and being different. I'd say new Metallica is the closest thing to pop metal your gonna get.

[mysteriousDSF]

@smrtsk8er "Pop and metal don't even go together since metal is about being an outcast and being different." LMFAO metal is so diverse it's beyond imagination. You're world's biggest douche, you METAL TRASH. Go back and listen exclusively to your Metallica and Iron Maiden.

[smrtsk8er]

@mysteriousDSF You don't I know how diverse metal is? Fuck I listen to everything. Bands like Periphery, Textures, The Human Abstract, After the Burial to bands like Decapitated, Meshuggah, to bands like Essence, Lazerus A.D. to bands like Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Dog Fashion Disco, Polkadot Cadaver to bands like Nothingface to bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, to bands like Machine Head, Revocation to bands like The Faceless, Fallujah, to bands like Parkway Drive, Killswitch Engage

[smrtsk8er]

@mysteriousDSF To bands like Abysmal Dawn, Obscura to bands like Whitchapel, And Hell Followed With, Despised Icon to bands Metallica and Megadeth to bands like American Head Charge and Needlemouth, to bands like Mnemic and Sybreed to bands like Opeth and Dream Theater, etc I could go on but I think you see the point. I love Music and I love Metal. I am no way narrow-minded to music I was just saying that there really is no such thing as pop metal unless your talking about bands like

[smrtsk8er]

@mysteriousDSF Five Finger Death Punch or Disturbed something like that but really the idea of pop and metal don't go together, because they are conflicting ideas. As for me listening to Iron Maiden and Metallica I do love them but they are clearly not all I listen to if it was then I would't be on a Periphery video would I?

[MrRadavis91]

@smrtsk8er they arent conflicting ideas dumb ass. your just an uptight listener. not a player.

[smrtsk8er]

@MrRadavis91 i would argue with you but your not worth my time at all and its people like you that make me hate the internet. Especially Youtube

[mysteriousDSF]

@smrtsk8er man, chill ... believe me, there are EVERY kind of metal lyrics ... and ur just a trash faggot ... Since when are say Meshuggah about being outcast in society and all that cheesy shit? Never. That's why ur a fucking metal trash faget. And don't say Disturbed would be 100% opposite of Periphery, they both got melodic vocals on guitar grooves ... you named it yourself

[smrtsk8er]

@mysteriousDSF I dont' usually result to name calling but you leave me no choice. You are a fucking moron. Completely ignorant to what I'm trying to say. WTF is a trash faggot or a metal trash faget? Makes no sense. Also I'm not trashing anyone or anything. All I've been trying to say is that Pop and metal don't really go together. I also did not say Disturbed is the opposite of Periphery, but they definitely aren't the same.

[smrtsk8er]

@mysteriousDSF Also i don't why you brought up the Meshuggah shit. And btw Meshuggah is an outcast band. They are a ban that has never played by the rules never cared about record sales or how popular they but ins tea they focused on creating complex an groundbreaking music. I really don't think you understand what I'm trying to say here and its getting really frustrating trying to dumb it down to terms you can understand. What I'm trying to say is that genres like Metal and Punk

[smrtsk8er]

@mysteriousDSF were founded on being different and not giving a shit. Both genres are still very much underground genres even if they are such things as pop punk or I guess like the Devil Wears Prada would probably be a pop metal band or Disturbed or something similar. I also never said pop metal is a bad thing. I really would like to try to get the gears in your brain working to understand what I'm saying but you'll probably just get butt hurt again and it's really just not worth my time.

[frannypance]

periphery helps when your parents are screaming at each other downstairs

[jemplayer]

@frannypance lol

[drumming365]

althoug it kinds of reminds me of wormhole by volumes or vice versa that main riff grooves like a mofo and i love the melodic vocals

[bf3fancmo]

Djent <3

[gazuul]

Still wainting for the "Thank you for purcharsing Periphery . . ."

[theacropilot]

now im thirsty!!!!!

[MIKEPEARTNOY]

I just came here from It's OK To Be Gay by Tomboy. It's OK To Be Gay is the superior song.

[jocoolmen]

darn laptop! blowing the shit out of my glass, still my laptop wont go louder!! :S

[TASTIEas]

this song kick ass. racecar kills too

[Diabolous3x]

reminds me of atreyu and il nino

[CFis22]

@Diabolous3x Comparing Periphery to Atreyu should land you in prison.

[Wafflemix86]

Yep. Periphery really is "heavy metal at it's finest!"

[FuckTheSystem1995]

This video is like porn thats the reason why there is a mirror : D

[winstonschannel]

Can't wait to see these at Download!! \m/

[CrushedToTheDepths]

Ladies and Djentelemen... This song is amazing!

[DavidBoy333]

I actually leart about this band though Troy Wright's drum cover......I think that drummer deserves more attention

[klavestorm11]

@DavidBoy333 Troy is pretty awesome

[tdawgdjent]

yes acidsh33tz meshuggah are the true owners of djent but everyone must appreciate where djent is heading and we only have meshuggah to thank for it...

[tdawgdjent]

and if you like this just listen to this..stop fucking whining its nothing like meshuggah,, no one can replace meshuggah im just glad they have finally influenced newer bands!!! get over it!!!

[JamesDjent]

they would be alot better if i screamed for them!

[04lewzale]

@vomitoriumbassist but you to ugly

[ArseLoad0fMetal666]

hate it when morons try and be clever by insulting people and sayin "Djent isn't a genre you retards, it's a word to describe a low palm muted chord" - Thats like saying champagne isn't a drink, it is a place in France

[ShiPshapeD00d]

This video couldve been better.

[BioIlan]

Fire this singer, I go download the instrumental album.



[Byobrulez]

@BioIlan Actually, if you hear the vocal track by itself, it's pretty amazing

[AcidSh33tz]

MESHUGGAH IS SUPERIOR TO ALL.

[Royart142]

@AcidSh33tz Meh shut up... you just want some fucking attetion :/

[TheOrangeFondler]

@AcidSh33tz I agree

[falconer6439]

@AcidSh33tz Superior to all this "djent" (wannabe meshuggah clones) bullshit.

[Byobrulez]

@falconer6439 yeah, listen to the rest of periphery's album. especially without the vocals, the talent is comparable to that of meshuggah.

[falconer6439]

@Byobrulez If I wanted to listen to something that sounds like Meshuggah I would just listen to Meshuggah. If I want to hear virtuoso guitar playing with some tasteful Meshuggah like rythmically challenging parts Ill listen to Sleep Terror or Coprofago.

[Byobrulez]

@falconer6439 I didn't say they sound like Meshuggah. I said they were almost as talented. Especially considering their whole 2010 album consisted of songs completely written by Misha, with added singing and lyrics by Spencer.

[falconer6439]

@Byobrulez Just dont think that they are anything unique. Not saying that the music is bad or anything, the guitarist is good and Matt Halpern is an incredible drummer. Just doesnt strike me as incredibley original.

[Byobrulez]

@falconer6439 Fair enough, but I haven't really heard anything else quite like Periphery.

[jamesanator1000]

WHAT, only 610,500 views!!! I don't want to live on this planet anymore

[XTearsofRequiemX]

@pm108sstkteom it was a tricky one! So fuck off :)

[Capitalofmetal]

I don't know why, but i don't like the vocals in periphery. The music is killer though!

[emann43]

@Capitalofmetal I haaaated spencer at first....but i've grown to like him. Some of his highs can be somewhat annoying, but periphery needs him imo.

[frankcleary1234]

Oh, I get it the "P" stands for Periphery! :D

[pm108sstkteom]

@frankcleary1234 that was a tricky one wasn't it! :D

[HG2013]

The vox and lyrics are sick, are you deaf and illiterate?

[fLKommotioN]

@HG2013

Yes.

The fact that my response is both correct and coherent is mostly luck.

granted, I do actually like the vocals, so perhaps I am saying something for nothing.

[Hrimner]

Vocals ruins everything.

[MrBrevitz]

What's with all these cool badass bands and their slick "Linkin Park-vocals"?

[brandenkhan15]

@MrBrevitz Because they're amazing like RED. 

[nightsystem]

Korn should start djenting.

[AustinCGraves]

Dear @ScreamsofthefallenTV and @Lolh4x,

Winning an argument on youtube is like winning the special olympics.

[troglodita6000]

@AustinCGraves You forgot to type half of the joke..

[bodomtopps]

@AustinCGraves lol they feel like they have won it all but really people are just watching/reading because they make fun of it

[Samusaran20XX]

@AustinCGraves they're still fun to watch.

[Chickenjuggle]

@AustinCGraves Yeah, you still win.

[Greenoathz]

good for all the childrens that don't know Meshuggah ,and , the voice is not that good ...

[Youcantkillthemetalx]

@Greenoathz I love meshuggah, and eh, it's alright.

[Younce89]

God damn there's so many fucking retarded kids on youtube.

[Methaflux]

What the hell is everybody crying about with the vocals? They're brilliant, dudes.

[tuulenkoti]

wtf... a meshuggah ripoff fronted by tom delonge?

[crizilla138]

djent djent djent djent djent djent djent djent djent djent djent djent djent djent

[TheRiffCalendar]

Meh, i doesn't like the vocals, much better live though.

[xKittensKillx]

Epic *___*

[Du3ky]

I love how he he starts playing the first riff, haha

[Twiggyay]

I don't like the vocals and Misha is a twat but at least the instrumentals are good.

[ray625164]

@Twiggyay I understand not liking the vocals, ( personally I love them) but saying misha is a twat?

Sir misha is one of the nicest guys in the music scene.

[Twiggyay]

@ray625164 He seems nice enough, but he it seems he doesn't know anything about music and when explaining something he'd go;

"Like, like when i do this like sweep i do like this.

like widdly doodly doo deebooroo dee, or something like that"

[ray625164]

@Twiggyay That's cause misha doesn't know much about music theory, or what he's doing he plays by feel.

just because you're not very good at explaining what you're doing on guitar that doesn't make him a twat.

Besides misha Has said Numerus times that he doesn't know any thing about music, like on the theory side. ahha

[dnephi]

This stuff makes me think back to old Mnemic, actually. Way before their time.

[djentlekat]

so, so under-rated

absolutely awesome

[MrWiggerdale123]

@skinflowerUK

I suppose, though they did play Wembley the other day

[thegame619619619]

sound so low

[Gorbyrev]

Thanks guys for showing up and being 100% on in Glasgow the other night. My sons are hooked and so am I - mission accomplished and thanks to Misha and Matt for being so cool meeting and greeting!

[Troy3641]

Holy shit. Shut about Spencer he owns the stage and any track you put him on. His sound is way more mature than any of the other vocalists Periphery has ever had. If you are going to hate go to 4chan and circle jerk about how you know more than the guys who make the music and the money and are successful in the industry you criticize. Shut up and jam like Misha wants and what true fans want. Go away we all hate you. :)

[ObeseChess]

@Troy3641 you sound a little mad, bro.

[Troy3641]

@ObeseChess A tad bit>

[Sconies123]

Saw them live today supporting Dream Theater. They were impressive. It was the first time I heard of them

[46dwades]

this right here was the first time i experienced periphery. never gets old

[Grecian92]

I just came from an Emmure video. I needed some fucking ear bleach. This works AMAZINGLY

[xLaLaRainx]

Such talent. These are the kind of bands that keep the music scene sane, despite the seas of monotony.<3

[AJDeadandFamous]

Periphery have the perfect sound for Metal.

[hugslyh]

saw them yesterday in glasgow :D soooooooo good 

[tbeiber09]

Priphery aren't bad but I don't think it's anything amazing. I'm not a fan of the vocals at all.

[danielspital]

putting bands like this in the same league as bands like asking alexandria shows how little some people know about musicianship/song writing.

[BedroomBassist]

Someone should tell Icarus to stop doing a wee on the camera lens!

If you play this song backwards, Icarus dies!

Screw all y'all, I like the vocalist.

[guitarfreaklol1ify]

wtf!? go look at the other video and theres nothing but good comments. the singer is hella good. and his vocals are way sick. you people came here not knowing a thing about periphery

[MALSTRUMX]

they need another singer.. otherwise good band.. the band was listening to dream theater, the singer was listenin to paramore..

[gir1258]

@MALSTRUMX Listen to his newer stuff.

[tuulenkoti]

Promising music ruined by a shitty vocalist :/ who the fuck wants to hear a meshuggah ripoff fronted by tom delonge?!

[iskim86]

also, i prefer the demos without the vocals a lot more :\
