Bring me the horizon, Teardrops if you haven't already done that? :D

[@rybo0072]

I think periphery is the perfect combo of dream theater and meshuggah with a slight touch of sikth and muse but yes periphery is one of my fave bands Spencer setello is a fantastic vocalist

[@LeeGion_981]

Yeah man ,he should react to sikth.

[@aftrimg]

The Sponce is the best

[@Gee-no]

I agree, Spenser is a beast. Fucking phenomenal vocalist.

[@clarkogle3067]

It's fun you said that on this track since it's the one that features Sikth's vocalist

[@DeepInsideTA]

DT? But where? Don’t be more fan in the comments, being objective.

[@whatisahandleplz]

Gotta do Satellites next man, Spencer smashes it Also, that breakdown is absolutely filthy live, it's ridiculous

[@Lodgiefitness]

Second this!! 'Satalites' next!!

[@darkphoenix2]

Everyone tries to recommend the newest stuff, but it's a lot to take in. I really think people should listen to the older stuff first so you can fully appreciate some of their best work. I saw another reaction to Satellites when it was only the third song they've heard, they didn't really "get" it. They liked the song, but that change half way through didn't totally work for them. Don't want people to have that experience.

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

@@darkphoenix2 I would recommend a mix of P1 and P2 stuff to show people how they developed their sound. I would recommend Racecar, and Masamune or Have a blast from the second album... but all Periphery albums are each special in their own respective. You should check out the band Archspire- Human Mumuration.. Thank me later. They are the fastest metal band ever.

[@swingonthespiral]

I want to see it so badly =/

[@swingonthespiral]

@@darkphoenix2 P1 and P2 are A LOT MORE to take in. Juggernaut is the most stripped down, this is a close second.

[@nickroberts8642]

"Dystopia" by TesseracT. Heavy, melodic prog with some dirty funky bass licks

[@nurplepain3636]

Drew would LOVE that track

[@stevepadla4591]

yep that'd be an instant like. That track is straight to the point.

[@CousinsPicturesORG]

Also KING from Sonder

[@shanemaxwell1784]

@@CousinsPicturesORG Or Smile/The Arrow from Sonder.

[@ThePwig]

Periphery “Marigold” is possibly their most accessible song and it rocks. Even my young daughter loves it.

[@CousinsPicturesORG]

Agreed, also Catch Fire and Scarlet are one of my favourites

[@nino9273]

I guess Lune is even more accessible, beautiful song as well

[@BadGoof]

I simply don't click with it and feel like I'm a lunatic that's missing the charm of Marigold. It's their most streamed song on Spotify and I just.. don't like it at all.

[@kaixgt2]

@@BadGoof understandable. I don’t really like that song either, I just like the funny music video

[@Ignore14]

@@BadGoof Probably because it's their most generic metalcore song, doesn't really have the elements that make Periphery truly great imo

[@CrappycrapCrappy]

13:39 - 15:17 Welcome to Djent Drew

[@ganymede5604]

You HAVE TO listen to stranger things and omega now

[@NoahFuturePE]

I AGREE

[@shanemaxwell1784]

Cannot stress Stranger Things enough. That is probably their best song that isn't Reptile.

TesseracT - Hexes Karnivool - Deadman 🤘

I fully back this, Loathe especially cos they need more attention than they get, stupidly underrated band

[@sludgeon]

@@whatisahandleplz and I fully back your fully backing Loathe, these guys are massively slept on, they really need proper recognition

[@IxTHROWxTHINGS]

This is the list to be looking at right here. Smile is fucking nuts.

[@voidwoken]

Please do Periphery - satelites or garden in the bones. Fkn epick :D

[@xxduluxx]

You gotta do Absolomb by Periphery!!

[@JakeSusla]

Very much an underated song.

[@erickmazur807]

I freakin love absolomb!!

[@julioan94]

Absolute Bomb, as I read once

[@MusikIsUniversal]

Yes!

[@andrewsitek190]

Fun fact: one of the guitarists in periphery is the nephew of Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci

[@RebelKicks-mn4kc]

A lot of people are mentioning Tesseract, and I won’t be an exception: you gotta do Of Mind - Exile. It’s a true melodic masterpiece!

[@The_Horse-leafs_Cabbage]

A melodic, rhythmic, and ambient masterpiece Especially if you do Of Mind with all 3 songs in combination

[@Kideem]

12:27 Definitely one of my favorite moments in music, so beautiful. This song is perfect

[@jesperbonde571]

Pretty much every song from Periphery will send your brain in overtime. I've been listening to them for years and still I sometimes notice something i had not before when hearing them for the 500th time.

[@LeeGion_981]

Tesseract - ‘concealing fate’ Parts 1-6.

[@whatisahandleplz]

Holy shit, yes

[@TybudX]

Any TesseracT. Sonder is crazy good.

[@MrmeladaWasTaken]

YES PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@nathanialjohn3990]

Great start into Periphery! I'd recommend Blood Eagle if you want heavy and rhythmic. Stranger Things is really great as well. There are a lot of gems throughout their discog!

[@imast5112]

My favorite Periphery tracks are - Make Total Destroy, Masamune, Scarlet, Psychosphere, Alpha, The Bad Thing, Absolomb, Flatline, Marigold, Stranger Things, Blood Eagle, 22 Faces and Habitual Line Stepper but they’re one of the few bands where you can put on any song and you’ll more than likely enjoy it. Their last 5 albums are all amazing

[@XAVR_]

Psychosphere is so underated, the outro is my favourite Periphery riff ever. It absolutely crushes live.

[@aoaoa605]

Last 5 albums?...

[@imast5112]

@@aoaoa605 not a fan of the 1st albums vocals. Instrumental wise is kills though

Periphery - The Bad Thing!!

[@zeustheindifferent]

Never get tired of this song

[@JesusOfPaign]

Can’t believe you’re doing this one, absolute madman. Legit one of my favorite songs of all time. Glad you didn’t do the live version, the live version is cool, but imo only once you already know the studio version

[@qmiller9]

Satalites is my favorite on this album. It's insane with vocals and drums. Amazing song!!

[@edgyperson9589]

Black crown initiate is definitely a must, either “invitation”, “son of war”, or “sun of war”

[@rubikquitous8482]

Do Apostle In The Triunph - Opeth. also new place? lookin good man :) nice to see ya again!

[@Jason17300]

Leprous - The Price

[@zachbriggs6719]

You did NOT put a midroll at at the part where you complained about a midroll ad. Legendary

[@paravarium]

Few of us have been pushing for Tesseract which is almost like a sibling to Periphery. Acle of Tess and Misha of Periph were both making their names simultaneously online before they had full bands. Periphery tends to have more slamming, where as Tesseract is more atmospheric and layers. Both bleed into each other a ton, but I gotta say mostly due to vocals and feel, I'm much more into TesseracT. Fine music all around though!

[@whatisahandleplz]

I'd love to hear what a Periphery/Tesseract collab would sound like

[@fiiuslair]

Haken-Messiah Complex, Cockroach King or Falling Back To Earth

[@michaelrosensson8669]

Messiah Complex first I think, but he needs to find the full song first, since it's split into five parts

[@NooDLES411911]

Please listen to anything by a little Canadian band called Protest the Hero. They're musical wizards.

[@aalegge]

I've been waiting for this reaction since I started watching this channel 😌

[@WishMount]

There's so many sulutes to blues riffs in this track I love it! And the chorus has that Dream Theatre vibe, very cool!

[@thevilyn2075]

i kinda forgot i was listening to a reaction cause you just kept silent and was vibing with it as well lol, you putting the teacup down i was like wtf oh right lol. i go in and out of periphery and i missed this song before, gotta relisten to them again they are always so good

[@lucasmyhrman3970]

Glad to finaly see some Periphery here! now Haken needs some love

[@OsmonArtist]

Wow, I need to really listen to Periphery. I knew they were good but this is insane.

[@scottjohnson7803]

Power Trip - Divine Apprehension Power Trip - Hornet’s Nest Power Trip - Crucifixation

[@PowerfulWarbird]

I think the ad thing is partly because it's a 16 minute song. Different rules for longer videos, no?

[@bliksemvis]

I think it has something to do with youtube pushing ads onto longer videos. Wintergatan said something about it in his latest video about ads being put somewhere during videos and that he had to manually decide to disable them. Knowing periphery something like that is the case here

[@artemiynaumenkov9426]

I've never clicked on a video so fast

[@Profmillar]

Same xD

[@PZMaTTy]

This band has a lot of Djent influence, you know... like Meshuggah, in particular the guitarist Misha

[@PZMaTTy]

but it's not all djentdjent like Meshuggah you get the point(?)

[@jeffcarter1563]

Fun fact/suggestion: Misha, Periphery's guitarist, helped Tosin of Animals as Leaders with their debut album. Misha and Tosin have two duo songs separate of either band called "Optimist" and "Pessimist".

[@rsbdotexe]

FUCKING HELL YES!!!!! Periphery are absolutely amazing.

Wasn't expecting this! My favourite song of the last few years!

[@LexiPixeL_]

Glad you dug it. The bits where your eyes were closed, (i.e, most of it lol), you could tell you were super focused haha. This is suuuch a good song ugh. A year and a half later and this shit still gives me chills. Btw, it's KZbin plugging ads everywhere. The band doesn't really get to decide there the ads go afaik.

After the Leprous video, I'm so happy to find Periphery here too! :D crazy to think these guys started composing thanks to youtube. The same youtube that didn't notify me of these videos...ahem. Leprous - "The Sky is Red" (either the live version or the drum playthrough) Periphery - "Stranger Things" You won't regret! Thanks and I hope you hit that 100K soon!

[@KittenMittons06]

Loved your reaction... Especially at the intro drop! That said...I got ads watching your video too, at the exact same times. It's all monetized. So it's not like the band thought "Man, we should put an ad right here." so don't put that on them.

[@Kevin-wk3jq]

I dig Scarlet, and Have a Blast from Periphery. Have a blast has an epic solo from the man Guthrie Govan it's a must listen.

[@MrmeladaWasTaken]

Listen to Alpha+Omega (The tracks) by Periphery, you will enjoy this GREATLY. Also react to Tesseract, phenomenal players, phenomenal drummer (my favorite currently).

[@rsbdotexe]

I would also love to see you react to Haken - Invasion. Their newest album Virus is one of the best progressive metal albums of all time imo.

[@rsbdotexe]

You still need to react to Black Crown Initiate - either Withering Waves or Invitation

[@edgyperson9589]

Absolutely invitation, both son of war and sun of war are really good picks as well.

[@gunnar_storhaug]

PERIPHERY - STRANGER THINGS, YOUR EARS DESERVE IT!

[@jimberjamber8540]

If you want the ultimate Periphery experience, listen to Muramasa, Ragnarok, and Masamune in that order. It's the beginning, middle, and end of their second album. Almost 9 years old now holy shit.

[@drewdavidson6976]

Nice one, another big checkbox for the prog/djent realm, good gateway band for the genre for sure! I see Tesseract are being highly requested already in the comments so I'll add to that.... Nocturne and Singularity are both great. Also, HAKEN!!!

You've mentioned you couldn't find that live video others mentioned - I think it might be the one they recorded at a session on the MEINL Cymbals channel, maybe check that out. Also, if you're listening to studio recordings, I also see you reading lyrics from genius sometimes, why not just listen on Spotify or Apple Music or whatever you probably use anyway? No ads and perfect quality. It really grinds my gears when some - not you - reaction channels pull up some lyrics video they found of an old metal song on youtube in like 360p, made with damn Windows MovieMaker by a random guy in 2006. And the font is Comic Sans. And dark red. On a black background. And full of spelling errors. Do you know what I mean? I'm sorry for the tangent. Periphery is one of my absolute faves. Great journey throughout their albums in sound if you go chronologically. I'll see you on Twitch sometime!
