Reptile by Periphery is an absolute journey and I'm confident you'd love it.

[@paulsanchez1031]

One of the best progressive metal songs of all time. I know I'll get a bunch of nerds that dispute that, but idgaf. Tells such a crazy story and the musicianship is top notch. I really couldn't ask more from a band.

[@mlowe787]

@@paulsanchez1031 check this spencer video out if you haven't already. Every now and then I revisit and I'm just like, holy fuck. There's like 4 or 5 different kinds of reverb, layers everywhere, intentional clipping, tons of harmonies and octaves... it's just insane how much you don't hear because it's blended in the mix. That channel also has some vocal stems from Bieber (who I like a lot tbh) and other modern pop musicians for comparison. It's just miles apart in skill and execution from what Spencer is doing. He's underrated as hell. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXm9aqNnlK9-qaM

[@williamiceman9939]

@derp derpin I hope that was a joke because the rest of P4 was a joke besides Reptile

[@seanhaug]

@derp derpin Haha low key pretty sure the entire intro/verse riff is Mark's, it's about as 'Mrak' as 'Mrak' gets. You watch his playthrough of the first half of the song? It f***ing goes man.

[@williamiceman9939]

@@seanhaug yeah he brought the first couple riffs to Jake and Misha experimenting with the new tuning. It is also a very mrak riff with lots of slides, string skipping and arpeggiated chords. He is a monster riff writer

[@jamesc5801]

Periphery's bassist, Adam 'Nolly' Getgood, is also an amazing engineer/producer and has an extremely good ear for guitar and drum tone. I'd recommend listening to him and Plini going a collab together on guitar with the song 'Blue Angel'

[@jasonharkinmusic4186]

YESSSSSSSSA

[@brucebayne7162]

yes, so good haha

[@metal-adjacent]

Nolly and Misha are insane

[@philghost0332]

Nolly singlehandedly established the "modern metal bass" sound with Darkglass and Dingwall Basses. Also he is the best guitarist in a band with three amazing guitarists.

[@DangerousGuitarist]

Duuude - just picked up the GGD One Kit Wonder (Modern Fusion) and it’s soooooo good!

Literally same reaction lol

[@christopherhorton4634]

Their whole catalog is soooo different. Geebz has so much to cover, right? Almost every album is unique.

[@Everycolor1]

A really interesting listen is David Maxim Micici, Some of the coolest production I've come across. "Living Room" is a good instrumental, "Daydreams" is a good Journey as well!

[@paddycampbellmusic1223]

Yes! Living room is so underrated

[@wes1]

I would love to see a Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza or a Dillinger Escape Plan reaction. 👍

[@Antreu]

Prancer would be cool

[@mike__durrett]

Some things to reply to some of your comments: 1- it's a mix of live and vst strings. For prominent/solo parts it's emphasis on the live ones 2- the ostinato/pattern thing in 7/8 was written before the guitar part had been figured out. Watching a playthrough of that is crazy. Lots of movement. 3- they have producer packs that give you the stems from their more recent albums they self-produced. I think you'd really enjoy them. In this song, it reveals a creepy monologue that Spencer reads leading into the crazy riff solo thing.

[@QuinnKeitel]

Bleed by Meshuggah is an absolute must for you to cover! Thanks Geebz!

[@Furnezz]

Completely agree, haha that one's gonna blow him away

[@Aytom]

ObZen by meshuggah would be my pick

[@metal-adjacent]

They do use synthesizing and electronic sound but they also use a lot of actual orchestral strings and choir for the tracks. It's very well done.

[@MauricioMagaldi]

Geebz, you might want to check Thank You Scientist. These dudes are killing it. Drums, bass, guitar, sax, violin, vocals. They are endlessly creative and virtuosi. Cheers

[@RazLightbringer]

You definitely have to check Plini's Handmade cities" and "Sunhead" projects, masterpieces! 🙌

[@RJoe-mw2bc]

One of the coolest things about this song is that the guitars are also layered with some synths and thats one of the things that makes it so deep and amazing.

[@KyleRyznarMMA]

Glad you came back to periphery, great band!

[@D34ThL1VeS]

Periphery has been my favorite band for years and years and it makes me so happy to see others - especially other musicians- get into them and geek out over how phenomenal they are. Awesome content too man, look forward to more!

[@forrestschaeffer]

Your talent shows just by how much you can capture in your first listen of a song. It is clear how much work and time you've put into this as a professional, and it's so cool to learn from you when you break down the time signatures, blending, mixing, etc. Keep it up!

Their albums Alpha and Omega are intertwined. Listen all the way through Alpha, and it leads to Omega. The same is true if you listen to Omega first then Alpha. These guys are top knotch.

[@justevan877]

YES WE NEED MOAR

[@Rendydany]

Nolly is one of the best engineer in modern metal if not the best. I can even say that he (and periphery) influenced my other favourites band. Even on periphery 4 where he's no longer in the band, they simply can't replace him and his bass tone that has become periphery signature tone. That's why periphery has no live bassist rn

[@ian12346]

So awesome watching someone hear Periphery for (what I assume) is the first time. 🤘🤘

[@kadenstevens8213]

Nolly, the bass player for periphery, mixed this album as well as Hakens last two albums. That may explain the commonalities you’ve observed between the two.

[@themincemeat]

Vildhjarta - All These Feelings

[@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic]

I'd love to see him tackle any Vildhjarta. The way they use dissonance in a musical sense is unparalleled, and there's always so much to take out of their tracks. I've listened to Måsstaden so many times, but I still feel like I find something new every time!

[@youngmike8645]

The whole masstaden album is a dissonant masterpiece and ungodly tight tone. Every time I listen it gives all those feelings😉

Stumbled into your channel tonight and have just been digging through your react videos in relation to some of my favorite bands (Periphery, Chon, TYS, PTH, BABYMETAL, Polyphia, Animals as Leaders, etc) and have just been really enjoying your insight into the music. Definitely got a sub from me. Keep up the awesome work!

[@TheDSasterX]

22 Faces for the next periphery track! It's one of the most intense, densest tracks I've ever heard and I swear it's like 10 minutes long for how much song is in there despite it being only 4 minutes

[@buckfuttler2877]

I recommend, Baroness-Chlorine and Wine video.

[@sam_metal]

Geebz!! I’ve heard about Periphery and checked them out a few years ago and it just didn’t click. But I saw your Decompose on Absolomb and man, I’m hooked now! Idk why it didn’t click before. All in good time, amirite? Thanks for all you do Geebz! If I ever make it out to Hawaii, I’m gonna drink some coffee with you! 😂 peace out homie!

[@danawalsh5840]

Big fan of how you listen to the vocals as another instrument. I'm the same way. I often can't tell people what the song is about lyrically but I can tell you how the vocal layer made me feel. I'm still super eager to see you listen to some Between The Buried And Me. Probably something from the album Alaska or The Great Misdirect. Their other albums (aside from earlier stuff) all flow between songs and it can be jarring to listen to a song picked from the middle of the mix. If you're willing to commit to a 18 minute song for a video I'd highly recommend Swim To the Moon off of The Great Misdirect. It's one hell of a journey.

[@nathanlempar4283]
