Reacting to Periphery's 17 minute song | Periphery - Reptile

[@RetroRoadshow]

Periphery: Hey, we want to start our next album with a 17 minute song. Sumerian Records: Not a chance *Periphery has left chat* Sumerian Records: Uh... guys?

[@Joose]

I feel like there’s “Reptile” and the rest of the album is “Reptile Pt. II”... this song so perfectly prepares you for all of the elements and oddities that the rest of the album has to offer.

[@Temporal72]

I feel it as an "overture" I love the first part of the song, sick guitar riff on the verse, and that chorus, feels so fuckin epic and catchy

[@disasterspice2674]

About "Reptile Pt II", yeah it was evident in "Garden in the Bones" lmfao at least for me

[@NextTooNothing]

The soil we own

[@RespiteofChampions]

It's not the same chorus from Garden In The Bones, it's the same vocal melody, but they're different lyrics. Where GITB is talking about "The claim WE stake, a land within OUR wake", Reptile is from the opposite perspective "The claim THEY stake, a land FROM US they take". It's absolutely AMAZING. Spencer has become a storytelling GENIUS. Oh! And yeah you DID hear a lot of the instrumentals from this song on others because they ARE the same, with slight variations. This intro song is the perfect preparation for the instrumental elements to come. Think like the guy below me said, this is "Reptile" and the rest is "Reptile II"

[@7riXter]

Btw it's from the bridge 😉

[@RespiteofChampions]

@@7riXter I know that lmao. I'm just repeating what dude said

Sorry to say but the guy is above you now, you're still the second comment tho so nice!

[@martinv.-]

Your face when Garden in the Bones motif appeared

[@josevonbuergenwader2]

The part that sounds like Garden in the Bones is called a motif. It's become a staple of Periphery albums: Periphery 2 had a motif that spanned across the songs Muramasa, Ragnarok and Masamune. Juggernaut, as a concept album, was packed with them. Periphery 3 had a motif that spanned across the songs The Way The News Goes, Absolomb and Lune.

[@getsosavage9841]

Yoos

[@noahhonkanen2090]

Ragnorok also borrowed the ending motif of Racecar.

[@AllOutOfEnemies1]

Well put. One of their best features

[@Norman0507]

the comment I was looking for

[@OzanYerli]

Did anyone else noticed Reptile also has that "motif" thing in the Follow Your Ghost?

[@GregFPS]

Just when you think they will never make a longer song than Racecar... lmao

[@adamcogan211]

GregFPS hey!! It’s zombro!!

[@HugoStiglitz88]

Racecar is still rhe goat (Omega too)

[@bogdanhxc]

Album Review is coming later today. In the meantime, what did you think about REPTILE?

[@toxendon]

It's a fucking masterpiece. This song is the essence of Periphery.

[@putridplaythroughs]

This is easily the best song I've ever heard from any band... makes my eyes get misty. I love periphery so much.

[@thezestychunk5575]

Dominic Urich you should listen to Omega by Periphery (I suggest the instrumental version) personal I think it’s equal to this song if not better. Really worth checking out

[@putridplaythroughs]

The zesty chunk ya bro I've been listening to them since P2 so I'm well aware of the awesomeness of omega. I do love omega aswell but reptile > omega :/ just my opinion tho. Rock on

[@putridplaythroughs]

@@thezestychunk5575 what makes omega so special is the story that's tied into it, which it takes awhile to get to cause you gotta go through alpha all the way to the song Where as reptile is basically setting up the whole entire rest of p4 (extremely well I might add) It's super debatable tho lol

[@Under-Kaoz]

Calm down there. Drugs are bad mmmkay

[@AndrewBarrMusic]

chris martin no that’s what you call a periphery cover band 😂 lol who am I kidding. No one can cover periphery.

[@AllOutOfEnemies1]

Quite possibly their best song. And I'm not just marveling the length of the song. Their story telling ability, and ability to keep you interested is uncanny. Unreal

[@HugoStiglitz88]

Certainly top 5 without a doubt

[@josephalfonsi6588]

They played this song live on tour with DGD in my hometown and I swear to God the entire venue was a pit

This album has changed my perspective on music for the rest of time. 😂😂😂 It is soooo good.

[@cameroncraft8050]

Well said my dudee

[@marrrcelo]

yeeeep, the way a song is played and lyrics do have affinity

[@TheAntarcticaProject]

You feel fulfilled when you finish listening to the song.

[@Tashiro64]

They included the same melody as Garden in the bone's chorus , but thats not new, they did something similar with Muramasa - Ragnarok - Masamune on P2 with the "Somewhere in time, we welcomed in the midnight leave [...]" ;) and I freaking love when they do that, this song is so perfect !!

[@bogdanhxc]

Oh wow. Thanks!

[@deitydrummer94]

They did it in P3 too with The Way the News Goes, Absolomb and Lune, stuff like that really adds to the music and I love them for it

[@GamingSaurusRexYTube]

They did it a shit ton on Juggernaut

[@St3yn012]

@@GamingSaurusRexYTube Yep, Chorus from Alpha returning in Omega.

[@garrettwarman]

Or the entirety of Juggernaut lmao. They also did it some w/ instrumental melodies on P3

[@Jethrospect]

The middle part just before the first breakdown, oh man, that's one of the heaviest shit I've heard from them. And the dirty, thrashy, rough sound of the breakdowns. Totally agree with you man, I love when they make breakdowns! This song is the new face of Periphery.

[@jasonlucas8740]

I thought about this about 2 years ago with periphery. They actually make music that is pure and unique. I've never mistakenly thought another band was periphery. Just good music. It's what I wanna listen to on a day to day basis

[@luli237]

loved your reaction! I was speechless the first time I listened to this song. it's amazing! and i agree Spencer is a beast

[@Psandoval85]

I can never get tired of this song. One of Periphery's all time best in my opinion.

[@denis_musicreviews1774]

This song is very experimental and brutal and god damn amazing! One of my favorites songs from the album along with Satellites, Crush, It's Only Smiles, Garden in the Bones and Blood Eagle, CHVRCH BVRNER, Follow Your Ghost. A really strong 9,5/10

[@completelyinsane797]

[@nicksmigielski1953]

I was at work when the riff at 10:14 (time in song, not in this video) started and I wanted to punch my monitor once the drums kicked in.

[@Meow-oo7yk]

This isn't just a song, it's a piece of art.

[@UndyingHatred_]

It really is.

[@wfg4538]

The part where it mimicks Garden in the Bones very much reminds me of the end of Omega where the chorus of Alpha is copied to a different tune

[@markmcrae2704]

fuck ya dude. i was reliving the way that i felt when i heard this song for the first time too. absolutely epic. im seeing them in a few weeks i hope they play this

[@bogdanhxc]

I'm seeing them in a few weeks too in Toronto. But I highly doubt they will play this live :D

[@thezestychunk5575]

I know what that riff is reminding you of, it’s the riff from Omega by Periphery! When I listened to this song it reminded me of one of the riffs in that song

[@car3272los]

Where?

[@brendanhector3833]

The garden on the bones cross over thing is one of Spencer's "linking themes" he does it in p2 ,alpha,omega and p3 also. It's awesome!

[@thecasiorobinson]

Periphery is the kind of band you're listening to and think "hell yeah, there's still 9 minutes left"

[@itslukebruh8348]

this is hands down *arguably* the best song ever written

[@jasonlucas8740]

Yeah. Its nice how they included the motifs from garden in the bones. Ties the album together

[@therider1447]

Theres no way to react and explain the song like this. Everyone we feel y enjoy the same way. Best reaction ever.

[@furiousmat]

Yeah Periphery tend to do that. I think it's in the juggernaut albums also you could spot that throughout the album they would often come back to variations of previous riffs or melodies they used. Guess it's like a theme thing. I kinda like that.

[@calebbarton5697]

Damn, late to this video. But that breakdown that sounds like machine guns and then the solo that sounds like alien laser beams is so thematic. Underrated band, underrated song, underrated genre…

[@chrisp.14]

I saw these dudes in 2019 in Berlin and they played this song perfectly. I was stunned and it almost made me cry because it was so good, so heavy, so perfect, so epic. That whole gig, dude.

[@dropyvisuals4355]

Dude what is ur mic ? Sound crispp AF. Great react, subbed.

[@HugoStiglitz88]

Totally agree. It's weird how they can make 16 m songs and not 1 second of them be boring. I think Racecar is even better than this but not it's arrangement. This songs arrangement is perfect and it's perfectly paced

[@chubbynut_0g]

Periphery tends to have recurring motifs in all their albums which is probably why they used the Garden in the Bones part. I think they actually recorded Reptile first tho so it's technically the Reptile part ;)

[@steve2993]

Periphery has done lyrical and melodic phrasing on several albums. They do it on P2 I think 3 times.

[@yourname6614]

Its not their fourth album, its their sixth. Juggernaut Alpha and Omega werent given the number as their title, but are still a 2 part studio album

[@omgthatguyfromnorway]
