Guitarist reacts to Periphery - Absolomb

[@QLP1997]

“There haven’t been any harsh vocals yet” “TIME STOPS NOOOOOWWW” So awesome hahaha. Great reaction man 👍🏻

[@alekoshred]

They came to the rescue just in time 😁😁 Thnx for stopping by brother 🤘🤘

[@realAdamClinch]

Love how they used that melody in multiple songs on this album and it builds up over time! The first time it's just a subtle piano, the second time it's this orchestral arrangement, then finally it peaks in Lune. Really enjoy it when albums have some kind of melody or lyric they keep returning to!

[@alekoshred]

Yes! What a great concept and Just shows great musicianship

[@aceofbass131]

This is the song that officially sold me on distorted bass guitar in a metal mix. I'd been using bi-amps, ultra clean growl for years prior, but around the time this album came out, I bought a Dingwall bass, and was contemplating the Darkglass pedals. I heard this bass tone, and said, "f*ck, i have to spend $300 more."

[@alekoshred]

oh yes, bass is juicy on this one 🤘🤘

[@ethanbatts]

I suggested it and I got it! What a song. Great reaction as always.

[@alekoshred]

thanks mate, and yes, what a song...

[@samfirehair6407]

They referenced lune in the song ''the way the news goes'' aswell.

[@alekoshred]

Oh wow, i should check out that one too then, thanks 🤘🤘

[@defil1998]

@@alekoshred "The way the news goes" is really groovy, you'll like it! And while I'm here, you should definitely check out the "Somewhere in time" trilogy from Periphery II, you can find the three songs mixed together on youtube with that name or check out the songs separately (even though I'd suggest to put them in a single video), which are Muramasa, Ragnarok and Masamune!

[@alekoshred]

@@defil1998 oooh nice idea, i haven't heard any of those three, i might just do all 3 like you suggested in one video 🤘😁

I'm a simple man, I see Alekoshred reacting to Periphery, I click like.

[@kaylobutton3057]

Periphery is my number one favorite band, so it's cool to see you react to so many of their songs! If you haven't already I'd recommend checking out Heavy Heart and Psychosphere from their juggernaut Alpha album, Graveless from juggernaut Omega, Mile Zero and Masamune from P2, Jetpacks was yes v 2.0 from the Icarus ep, The Summer Jam from Clear, and finally, Letter Experiment and All New Materials from P1. I might be biased since they're some of my favorite songs, but hopefully you enjoy them too 🤘🤘

[@alekoshred]

i surely gotta check out something from the Alpha album, and the earlier stuff as well, will do for sure, thnx for taking the time 🤘🤘

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

Hell yes dude! I've been listening to Periphery again for the last few weeks as well. I always have my moments listening to a certain band for like a month, and then I'll listen to another band. I still recommend Archspire- Human Mumuration, but also since you are doing Periphery reactions can you also react to Periphery- Remain Indoors.

[@alekoshred]

thnx a lot, ok noted, will react to Remain Indoors soon as well 🤘🤘and will check that other song as well for sure

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

@@alekoshred Thank you 🙂

[@depmaudoofal74]

One of my favorites. Great reaction.

[@DrumC41]

Loving these reactions. Been waiting on someone hitting periphery properly 👍 If your into your prog I recommend Between the buried and me. Haken. Caligula’s Horse.

[@alekoshred]

oh yes, the periphery spree is not ending soon 😁thnx, i'll probably react to one of those bands for sure at some point

[@DrumC41]

@@alekoshred I suggest The Walk off Periphery’s first album if you want something hard it’s mental

[@MrSidewinder96]

Keep up the videos man ! Really entertaining and great reaction :) Have a blast from the P2 (Periphery 2) album is a great shout, and lots of guitar solos ;)

[@alekoshred]

Thnx mate, it's coming really soon 🤘🤘

[@moldyspoon3]

Another great reaction!! one you should check out that is a hidden gem on P3 is Habitual line stepper. It is one of my favorites by them! :D

[@ianwood4416]

I am really liking your Periphery reactions. Check out "The Way the News Goes" if you haven't heard it. But, I keep seeing that Schecter's headstock leaning against the wall. It's driving me absolutely insane. No offense, get a wall hanger, hard-shelled case, or a floor stand. You're probably doing irreparable damage to your instrument.

[@alekoshred]

thnx brother, and yes to both things 😁🤘

[@БогданПавленко-ц6щ]

OMG!!!))) I LOVE THIS SONG!!!))) THANKS 😊👍

[@ExKreations]

Loved all your Periphery reactions! They are my number one band right besides Dance Gavin Dance, give DGD a try at some point. Otherwise I'd recommend The Way the News Goes by Periphery, P3 is definitely their best album in my opinion.

[@AlexGelinas42069]

If you're loving all of this Periphery, I'd love your take on Devin Townsend's track "Genesis" =D

[@alekoshred]

oh, nice recommendation, i remember seeing Deadhead the live video for the first time and my jaw dropped 😁😁

[@jessea4438]

I haven't seen any reactions for Flatline from the same album. It's wierd because it's one of my favorites from them. Probably my favorite off of Periphery III. Could you oblige?

[@alekoshred]

haven't heard it so surely mate! thanks for recommending 🤘

[@PedroHenrique7555]

Dyed in grey next please

[@chrisburrelljr9270]

That's the bass that starts the song not the guitar good sir

[@christopherblowers443]

If you truly are a guitarist you should hear the song recharging the void by the band vektor. It will suck you into a black hole.

[@antoniosagomes6152]

Have a Blast has a Guthrie Govan guest solo. Don't hurt yourself trying to cover it 😂

[@alekoshred]

oh no 😢😁 Guthrie is a wizard, i once tried learning Waves but it's too frustrating 😂
