Thank you all for your coffee!! Wanted to start a slow blow-up of my Twitch channel www.twitch.tv/keyofgeebz

[@beepboop204]

appreciate you

[@n-99percentGOD]

The singing in the 2nd song that the singer was trying to force was not matching the music at all, and the music was not supporting what he was trying to do. I was not feeling that at all. The first song was okay but I still kind of felt the same way, at least it was all more cohesive though. overall, first song = okay, 2nd song =not very good.

Hey Geebz! First off I want to say I really love watching your reactions in general, but it’s a treat to see you react to Periphery songs. I feel like you catch all these little things that we spend a lot of time on that might not be obvious to everyone, and that’s super satisfying. Like it’s a producer/nerd secret handshake or something haha. Either way it brought me a lot of joy to watch you react to these songs, and I really appreciate the kind words. I’d love to hop on twitch and chat about whatever you want!

Absolutely, they just don't miss, constantly evolving their skills. This album sounds like nothing I've heard before in terms of production.

[@Jamie_Wilson]

Was Nolly still involved with this album then? It very much sounds like it to me, has his very distinctive bass tones all over the new tracks. I assume he played the bass parts also as on P4. I'm assuming his arrangement with the band is basically no touring, no live gigs, no band interviews, I'll record the bass lines and I'll help produce the albums, that's about it?

[@dnllrnt]

@@Jamie_Wilson Matt and Mark talked about his involvement during P4's documentary. His bass tone is so unique and is incredibly difficult to replace, not to mention his engineering and production for the drums. Yes, he's no longer "in" the band, but he's still involved with the group.

The bois in Periphery just don't miss for me. Since their release of Juggernaut a decade ago, every album just gets better. Spencer is easily one of the MOST versatile vocalists around. Many amazing vocalists in metal today but henis very unique. Can't wait for another perfect album.

In my own opinion... Every Periphery song is a masterclass in songwriting, musicianship and production. They could never put out a bad song in my eyes/ears.

The solo in Zagreus was Jake Bowen by the way. Since there's 3 guitarists they always switch off with solos. which in itself is too cool!

I love seeing Geebz just goober out at the guitarists like I do. He has been in music all his life and looks like me when I hear this stuff.

[@darkphoenix2]

This band is so unique. Somehow, despite hitting us with the most rich, complex constructions of music you could ask for, there is something accessible about it, like you said. There has to be, if this is the band that made me a metalhead a few years ago. Even though they are metal as metal can be, there are the orchestral aspects within some sections or totally on their own, and there are pop elements too. I think the pop sound is actually something that turns people away from Periphery, because there are plenty of people who actually don't like Spencer's voice. I feel sorry for them, because I personally feel like I've been given a privilege to be able to enjoy this stuff. Wildfire is just awesome. You can see a lot of people are thrown off by the first chorus, because it feels so different from the rest of the song, but by the end they've turned it around and it just feels RIGHT. And Zagreus does have a kind of old school djenty feel to it early on, then it turns into something totally different and shows the band's depth. Both songs feel like a fusion of everything Periphery has done before, and includes a lot of references to their Juggernaut double album. Just amazing all around.

I believe the metallic sound you're talking about in the guitars is a form of palm muting where you put more force on the right hand pushing the strings down and place it a bit higher up than normal palm muting. It gives a distinct metallic harmonic sound. try it, it's great fun and super heavy!

Geebz, that metallic sound in the guitar tone is DJENT. Grab yourself a 5150, nice amount of gain, palm mute the strings except about a half inch higher (away from the bridge) than normal, and then chug those strings so hard you think you might break them. Voila!

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Thanks for that - i love learning that geeky stuff!!

[@GuitarKid581]

@@KeyOfGeebz absolutely! Give it a try sometime!

[@t3hgir]

good tips! some other nerdy gear tips: lower output pickups generally have more clarity than super high output pickups, this can be ideal for high-gain djent tones, making the pick attack more present. lower gauge strings!!! Meshuggah use essentially a 9-42,44 set tuned half step down to Eb. You'll find lower gauge strings, provided you don't pick them too hard will have more of that metallic sound with palm muting. Overdrive set as boost!! this is essential IMO, take an overdrive pedal and set level 9-10, drive 1-2, tone 5-6. In my eyes, that palm muting metallic chunk sound is mostly due to the overdrive hitting a high gain amp as a boost. the other half mostly being how you hit the strings as @guitarkid says!

That metallic sound on the guitar tone is actually them "djenting," which is funny you mentioned since the album is called P5: Djent is Not a Genre. The term 'djent,' meaning a palm-muted strumming technique where they hit at least four strings and their right palm-muting hand is up the neck a bit, causing a tighter, more percussive picking sound. It's an onomatopoeia. It sounds like "djent"

Man, you’re going to love Meshuggah then 😂

[@Djcimofficial]

Love Periphery and both tracks. I enjoy you keeping on top of new releases that have been great from bands like Periphery, Sleep Token, etc. Check out the new song from In Flames since your last attempt got copyright pulled. In Flames - Meet Your Maker.
