Periphery - Racecar (HQ Audio)

[@realstefanodemaria]

This right here is Periphery's magnum opus

[@WinkingRaisin]

+stvn8or yes

[@TundraCH]

Absolutely correct

[@ryanfarquhar4906]

Given everything after this sucked, yeah

[@DJProfessorL]

Nope. Now it's Reptile

[@chuckcoates8039]

agreed. this whole album is their best because its all written by Misha (the vast vast majority)

[@c-sav5189]

Thank you, to the guys who are Periphery. I'm 43 years old and have been totally captivated by the talent pool Metal gives birth to since I was 12 years old.( Jake E. Lee is still one of my heroes. heehee) I have found my new favorite band. Thanks guys, From the bottom of my heart, this beautiful, crushing music truly makes my insane life, in this insane world, so much more worth waking up for in the morning. Peace to you.

[@jonnieve2483]

No problem, old man

[@JeremiahFernandez]

lmao

[@danielosborn338]

Hahaha much love to you sir.

[@hofmeister15]

Lol word

[@JacksonPhixesPhones]

C-Sac, thank you for sharing that. I understand what you mean, some music just does that to us; some music makes everything worth it. That's what I love about music in general, it's timeless. I hope this comment finds you well, 5 years later, but I'm just now finding this band, and I'm really pissed off that they I had to wait until now (I'm 41) to find Periphery's music. About a month ago, the KZbin algorithm told me I might like this band and their music . . . . . it was correct! 🙂🐧🎶🎵

[@andrewreed5326]

Racecar backwards is racecar. This song is cooler than that, though.

[@Reaver692]

Does that mean this song played backwards sounds the same as it does being played forward?

[@Sweet9964]

Reaver692 That would be a bit too hipster even for periphery.

[@imnocritice4342]

Sweet9964 sup, Burnie?

[@lusidswankin8647]

im pretty sure it ties into the story of the song. the easiest way to explain it is kinda like how soul mates work, two souls from one, who mirror each other and the name of the song clearly conveys it with the lyrics "all this may never seem, floow the light... I'D LIKE TO PAINT THIS TAPESTRY, IN OUR BLOOD, TO REPRRSENT THE SYMMETRY"

[@winstoncarter2119]

@@lusidswankin8647 Misha's Gf broke up with him because he was on tour to much. Sadness

[@xMaxMinecraftx]

Took me 10+ listens to realize this is the best song ever written and played, but now it's eargasm overloaded :'D

[@Farhan_049]

Same here.

[@Slipstream0001]

11:48 is such a beautiful little section, I love OLD periphery.

[@kpasstenceBETA]

Yes!!!

[@nickknee3515]

Best Periphery song EVER, totally stands the test of time. I'm a big Prog Rock fan and I love the time changes and the length and the journey it takes you on. They're really channeling there inner Yes here. Djenty Yes

[@nickknee3515]

9:11 Best part

[@treehann]

they released quite a lot of long songs in P5... yet I feel none of them have nearly as solid a structure, nor are as original as Racecar.

[@nitroflux_o1040]

​@@treehann i really like dracul gras and thanks nobuo, but thanks nobuo doesnt really count because of the ending lol

[@Andrew-xh8bo]

Freedom beyond or control Partition, they break out in endless stride I'm on the floor in travail Faithful days fall Memories hold Free my soul Seeking within The curtain call Fleeing our fate Every step now recalled Down the drive Staying so close Retraction weighs my soul We are thunder We are all the space in tow Now again This happening My handle is honest calculation Free of the pain Seeking the glow We both need it so Time will give way Time will formulate Seeking within The curtain call Fleeing our fate Every step recalled Don't deny Staying so close Creation is our call We haven't lost our sight These memories ignite Now have we lost our way Were taking back all that we know Discretion, the only thing that made me incomplete Cast the sail, just to spin this fate Cross the empty sect in flight Pleasant memories Redefined all that's left The sound it, makes me scream I can hear your voice at night (Your light lost in a waking dream within) Freedom is not of control Endless the chase, pushing through I'm so engulfed Falling to strain, but I still persist All this will never seem Follow the light I'd like to paint this tapestry With our blood To represent the symmetry Following the sickened result of possibility Refuse the violent source of pain that made you Left to deny that it will change with no solitude Let us take this train Leaving the form, stretching far beyond what I can see Chasing the race Left to complete My revelation Reaction creates the fall Realize These are broken words Shattered thoughts amend See beyond the only present road Just let go Counsel to ascend See beyond the only present hold Let go Cannot comprehend Leave it all to find a moment's love I am Working to be complete No more adversity Growing consciously My revelation Reaction creates the fall Realize These are broken words Rising on my own Sage advice, embrace wisdom Hang the past Take the helm Fashion a new future to live In your flame I see regret I've awakened To feel a piece of distant past harmony How could I not see Possibilities and unlimited passion Hello luminescent being Walking outside of my lost identity Celebrate For in the end, we'll meet inequality Seeking within The curtain call Fleeing our fate Every step evolve I see light I see light in your eyes

[@Farhan_049]

Why isn't this getting any attention?

[@dru5902]

I was trying to do a project for my digital media class, this is not the race car audio i was looking for XD

[@jeremiahfernandez9161]

it is now.

[@jonnieve2483]

oh shit

[@JeremiahFernandez]

how did you project go?

[@heatvision186]

Jeremiah Fernandez savage

[@jeremiahfernandez9161]

which one though

[@RyanCmetal]

WTF 11 years later and this song is still a fucking banger

[@Mrchilliy]

Seeking whitin... The curtain call.

[@KadeKalka]

12:42 on has to be one of my favorite parts in any piece of music. It's sort of hauntingly beautiful, with the beautiful clean guitar playing a happy yet somber chord progression. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it, but it catches my emotions off-guard and once the vocals come in, my emotions burst. Eh, I can't really describe it well, it's just music communicating well.

[@nitroflux_o1040]

All the clean sections in this song are beautiful, especially the intro. Its special... every time i hear the intro im listening to the rest of the song no matter what!

[@shanemaxwell5960]

Four different vocalists on this: Spencer Sotelo Elliot Coleman Chris Barretto Casey Sabol

[@shanemaxwell5960]

Elliot 4:37 - 4:54 Casey 5:57 - 6:03 Chris - Backing Vocals & Harmonies Spencer - Lead Vocals

[@BillyDrinksMilk]

Shane Maxwell So who did the Bb5? WHO DID THE FUCKING Bb5?!?!?!!?!?!? WILL WE EVER TRULY KNOW?!?!

[@WillEnj0y]

William Jones definitely sounds like spencer

[@BillyDrinksMilk]

Yeah, I know in my gut it is

[@marrrcelo]

[@sparda_]

I miss THIS Periphery, this song is the pinnacle of mathcore of the early 2010's.

[@totty2524]

Oh wow, this song has almost more sections than there are letters in the alphabet.

[@danielmontanez4700]

+Andrew Ortiz my god

[@Scottzgar]

The Jeff Loomis solo at 10:20 punches me right in the soul. So good.

[@Mattchudon]

12:42 to 13:52 is quite possibly the most epic, soaring, bone-chilling part of the song in the history of ever.

[@franksNbeans1222]

Mattchudon & right after is one of the most clever guitar solos to end the song

[@kunio361]

I see light I see light in your eyes

[@adityapillai2157]

My favorite part of a Periphery song

[@Anonymous__-uo6zq]

In this battle for the ages, we two true masterpieces. In this corner, we have the track that defined a band, At a staggering 45 million and 2 pounds, we have the fifteen minutes of Frenzy, The djentlemans journey, The palindrome of Power..... RRRRRRRRACECAR. And in the other corner we have the corner piece of Juggernaut. Weighing in at 45 million pounds. The Beast of Badassery, The Climactic Cataclysm, The true definition of epic, .......OOOOOOOOMEGA. Now keep it a clean fight, boys.

[@chasebladorn36]

Found you again

[@Warrior300000]

RRRRRRRRACECAR

[@BRNardy]

Sorry, Omega, but Racecar takes the cake on this one IMO

[@sid670]

A new challenger approaches...

[@Tmpp88]

@@sid670 The ssssslithering progressive powerhouse weighing in at 45 million and seven eighths of a pound, the opening act into the jaws of the crusher tearing off skin and scale alike, a myriad of Stans were hailed in the making of RRRREPTIIIIIIIILE!

[@iaintuploadinnothing]

At first I didn't like the singer. Then I listened to the full self-titled album. I like the range he has, new appreciation will do that.

[@milkchunks1979]

Just perfection, an absolute masterpiece, this song totally just seals the "favourite band" mark. Btw, don't shit on me cause I spelled "favorite" with a "u", hush I'm Canadian.

[@chrisgaribaldi5773]

hahaha canadians are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh and this band is too

[@aussieeffinpete]

Australians use favourite too 👌

[@codycraig2872]

This should be the theme for Gran Turismo

[@juststig2735]

Periphery with race car and bmth’s moon over the castle cover is a great gt duo

[@Ignore14]

9:11 sickest riff ever made.

[@趙健安-r3n]

All I know is ..... The drum's note is too difficult to play ...and when the song starts , My head cant stop shaking! awesome!!

[@cavemanslens8499]

Damn!! Why didn't I hear to the full song before? even after so many yrs of loving this band. Truly epic song !!

[@WinkingRaisin]

Still one of my favorite songs ever!

[@sacredxgeometry]

11:25 - 12:42 is still the best riff that Periphery has ever written.

[@sunktube]

11:27 - 11:48 true beauty, indeed.

[@sacredxgeometry]

I like the part just after 11:51 most.

[@seanschelin243]

I like the part after 00:00

[@sacredxgeometry]

You're not funny. The joke's dead dude.

[@seanschelin243]

Not to the 5 people who upvoted my comment.

[@LurchyScott]

This song is just full of juicy, constantly changing my pants kinds of riffs. Well I've gone and soiled myself again. And that solo made me shit myself as well.

[@tl_nik0n353]

Lurch Murphy So glad that got Jeff Loomis to shred a solo on this. The original version is so incomplete without it.

[@Johnfranorge]

+Lurch Murphy hey nice music taste bro, i saw youre comment in a Persefone video too.

[@LurchyScott]

Joohnba I'm all over the place. I'm not stuck to one genre.

1:45 damn this riff is so beautiful, the way it was transitioned all the way, and I can't believe i'm not even half way to the whole music

[@danielmontanez4700]

This right here is periphery transformation into a super saiyan and leading into periphery II or ssj2

[@manasyadav1993]

It is almost time for SSJ 3 (Periphery III) now my friend. \m/ \m/

[@umrasangus]

Manas Yadav Periphery III is quite SSJ3, is violent as fuck yet it has it's grace and beauty. I loved that bastard of album.

[@91Eric23]

[@blackreaper180]

one of their best songs ever

i don't even care that this is fifteen minutes long, its just amazing

[@kennethtanner27]

I know right ? This is one of those badass songs where you wish that it last forever and now I have my wish ! Periphery is lit ! God I wish we have a Modern Rock Radio Station that has the balls to play metal ! Would love to hear Periphery on the radio !

[@A7XfoREVer578]

It's cool how they could of divided this up into 3 different sick songs, but decided to make one huge epic song.

[@treehann]

Periphery released a ton of songs this long in PV, but I still enjoy Racecar more than any one of them. It has more of a cohesive structure and feels more fresh to me

[@fagonator]

this is the SICKEST thing

Damn the riff through the last half is just so heavy to me!!!

I personally take influence from this and experience. I'm a drummer so any new type of beat or style of any metal band like this makes me happy to know metal or any other genre trys to make there self sound good naturally

[@Twiliscael]

Right. I was thinking of Baretto who DID get fired (right?) I've been following bulb for years, but never really figured out why they went through vocalists like crazy. I prefer Baretto over Sotelo, though. So much more "arg arg arg" in his voice.

[@JoeTanzi]

Twiliscael dude wtf are you talking about arg arg arg? What?

[@JoeTanzi]

"Arg arg arg" you take more acid than me?

[@TheFissnoc]

plus his solo on here is sick

[@ObeseChess]

Veredika - quit to join the army. Sabol - quit because he didn't want to tour. Baretto - fired for being a douche. I think that's everyone.
