FIRST REACTION TO Periphery - Erised

[@sebastiansantolalla9184]

I am so glad someone finally reacts to Erised 😭💜

[@CompendiumVril]

It's my choice whenever I put in a request for anyone to react to Periphery

[@brooks9184]

Ahh Periphery, by far my favorite band. They offer so many directions in terms of sounds, there’s something for everyone in their catalogue. If you want bass I’d recommend Absolomb by Periphery

[@johnnyhammersticks72]

Oh yeah . I can't wait to see them in Anaheim with Archspire this November!

[@dnllrnt]

Nolly Getgood is an engineering madman. Even though he isn't a full-time member anymore, he's still an integral piece of that band.

[@williamniethammer9983]

Drummer is Matt Halpern and he's got a style all his own. Keep exploring Periphery - they've got so many different vibes!

[@Yes-ht4mn]

Definitely check Reptile or Satellites out, those two are off their most recent album, and my God, that album is godly. Or if you want one from this same album as Erised, check out Luck of a Constant. Regardless, y'all got my sub. 🤘🏻

[@Patrins]

These are my votes too. Erised is a great track but its not very representative of Periphery's sound (its pretty low-key). Reptile has a great mix of their different styles and satellites is something special but its a very slow build.

[@CompendiumVril]

I have a feeling that they would really enjoy Catch Fire or other songs from Select Difficulty more than they would Hail Stan material

[@Yes-ht4mn]

@@CompendiumVril that's fair, it is far more digestible

[@garywallace5313]

The solo you guys were liking so much at the end was a guest solo by John Petrucci from Dream Theater, who is one of the best guitarists of prog rock/metal

[@ItsBabaEro]

He's also the uncle of Jake Bowen, 10 of the 3 guitarists of Periphery

[@EricCouto]

This last solo is from John Petrucci, one of the best guitarrists of the genre! He was a guest, but I recommend his band for you: Dream Theater. They have so many great songs that is hard to pick only one, but Breaking All Illusions is a good example of their sound and has a beautiful solo.

[@swingonthespiral]

I DIDNT KNOW THIS. I've always loved that guitar solo. I thought it was Jake Bowen lol. It his nephew anyways.

[@krebros5845]

Check out Periphery-Absolomb, IMO one of their best songs and definitely my favourite. Btw, the singer is 34 hahaha

[@ShavidDerf]

Fun fact- Periphery has three guitarists, all of which play lead. The solo at the end of this song is actually John Petruccii from Dream Theater, who just happens to be the uncle of one of their guitarists, Jake Bowen. So much more of these guys that you need to hear. Please do more!

[@980Logan]

Never seen heard of you guys but Periphery is my favorite band by far and this was one of the best reactions I've seen to Periphery. Really enjoyed the discussion and watching you guys experience it!

[@ShipMonster]

It's nice to watch a reaction where the viewers are learned, and have something to add.

[@vincentrao3610]

ohh also if you guys know dream theatre. one of the guitarists uncles from periphery is john petrucci, the lead guitarists in dream theatre. john petrucci wrote that solo played at the end.

[@adamcone6856]

Three guitarists in Periphery. They track their three guitar parts each taking one part in a left, center, and right channel distribution.

[@moleymoley32]

I think I'd third comment for Archspire- Corpse Drone Aviator Would also love to see a reaction to Paleface- Dead Man's Diary Really love the channel, just found you guys!

[@DR-ge8hp]

So glad I found this!!!! Glad you guys liked them! They are such a great band. Enjoy digging into them. They are music for musicians.

[@carloss.sounds]

they have three guitarists in the band so a lot of the leads you hear come from the guitars but also layered with synths

[@scambulance]

Also this channel is great I hope the algorithms bless you

[@XxTW0F4C3DxX]

I’m glad I discovered you guys! You guys have to check out more Periphery and other prog bands as well! I recommend The Contortionist or Tesseract

[@moatfloater]

Some songs to check out Reptile...16min song by them...pure Art and the singer really showcases his potential...it has just about everything. Stranger things is groovy and melodic Blood Eagle is just brutal heavy...its about vikings! Garden in the Bones is really melodic and interesting in its changes.

[@SynysterGates70]

Makes me sad that this was your boys first introduction to Periphery. Great song, don't get me wrong, but not an introduction song. I'd recommend diving straight into 'Reptile' (The 17 minute opener on their most recent album 'Hail Stan'), to get a good idea of who they are and what they sound like. One of the best sounding metal bands in the world at the moment, in terms of production and musicianship. HUGE band.

[@OBsurdityTV]

I think this is an easier introduction than their heavier stuff The genre blending of Periphery Older songs is easier to digest for non metal songs

[@DR-ge8hp]

Oh, and they are very video game influenced. Misha Mansoor has actually produced some video game music.

[@I_am_chuckiebrown]

Enjoying this channel dudes

[@cliffpennington4895]

You need to do MORE PERIPHERY!!!!! Reptile, Marigold, so many BOSS songs.

[@rainbow_gravity]

Periphery - Wildfire jazz break and saxophone solo is insane! please next song

[@CygnusVoyager]

This was a fun reaction to watch with you guys! I would love if you checked out out Soilwork - As We Speak, the guitarist Peter Wichers is extremely underrated in my opinion and has such tasteful melody in his writing

[@marylandstationmusic9422]

Ok Michael B will put it on the list!

[@hailstone.]

Dude thanks for asking for soilwork pretty underrated metal band, their guitar work is so great. Their songs have such great contrast in clean/scream vocals too.

[@jackcafarella1062]

you guys would love Have A Blast by periphery!

[@8020drummer]

9:00 "that was hard" ;)

[@kossabah]

I can really appreciate their technical skills. And some segments and songs are really really good. Especially the older stuff. But overall I don't get that comforting and groovy feeling with Periphery. When it comes to technical metal you got to listen to The Contortionist - Integration ( or any other song from the album Language) Keep the nice reactions coming! Greetings from Sweden!

[@hailstone.]

Interestingly I get that comforting groovy feeling from TesseracT.

[@kossabah]

@@hailstone. Yea i can relate to that! :) I went to see The Contortionist live a couple of years ago. They were support act for a band I never heard before. It was Tesseract :) and both bands were amazing!

[@thepowerofmyth]

Periphery 2 is pretty groovy

[@blasher4]

I love this band. I also love this conversation. This was great!

[@Zachthe504]

Best reaction I’ve ever seen. You guys are great.

[@futbolboy16]

You guys need to check out all of Periphery! There isn’t a bad song they’ve recorded period! So happy you found Periphery!

[@morbid.subculture]

You should check out Inferi and Archspire. Enjoying the channel!

[@CrazyIrishmen7]

I would love to see you guys react to one of their newer songs, Dracul Gras. Its crazy good, if there were no words or lyrics the song would still tell a story, but the story the words do tell is equally great. Such a cool fucking song.

[@metal-adjacent]

Definitely check out more! Satellites is insane. Also Reptile live playthrough is a journey, and it's cool to see what everyone is playing.

[@robdaniel3211]

Cannot wait for some Mars Volta and Porcupine Tree!

[@robdaniel3211]

Some of the Mars Volta has Thomas Pridgen, one of the greatest gospel drummers ever. Porcupine Tree has one of the greatest rock drummers to live, Gavin Harrison.

[@robdaniel3211]

Mars Volta “Goliath”. Porcupine Tree “Anesthetize”

[@hailstone.]

@@robdaniel3211 +1 Anesthetize!!!!

[@roscopervis]

Love the chat, very fresh take on music reactions. I’m thinking, if you liked this, and if you are enjoying what Tool are doing then I think you would really enjoy Karnivool. New Day, Simple Boy or Change are pretty nice.

[@marylandstationmusic9422]

We'll get round to this!👍🏾

[@dfwherbie8814]

Jon B is a dope R&B singer. “they don’t know” is one of my favorite songs

[@marylandstationmusic9422]

Yes he is!!

[@whatisahandleplz]

Periphery are insane. A lot of their songs sound totally different but keep that Periphery sound! I always recommend Reptile, it's like a nice sum up of what kind of music Periphery make!

[@colbybeltz8836]

Interesting choice, definitely among their more subdued songs. Enjoyin the content yall

[@vincentrao3610]

periphery my favorite band!!!! and ye they have three guitarists

[@funnyperson4027]

Periphery lets gooo

[@mega_jonne1546]

Gerat reaction and i havent heard of erised before its way calmer than other p traxks

[@Kelly.sapphire]

Love this band and they are awesome live! Would consider them Progressive Metal and also djent. They have some awesome songs that are way heavier than this. Spencer can do great cleans and awesome screams and switch without any effort.

[@kelevra002b]

If you want to hear some more beautiful guitar work, yall should totally check out Luck as a Constant or Follow Your Ghost!

[@Renkaru]

I think you guys would dig Lerpous- The Silent Revelation and Soens-Lumerian, a good mix of prog on different spectrums of the genre. I hope ya'll give it a listen.

[@LuisGonzalez-ip8jp]

Respect the fills lol. Love that

[@excaluber23]

1. I’m checking out your back catalog and came across this. I have to say this song almost seems like two different songs, the first half with vocals wasn’t my favorite. I didn’t hate it, but I agreed with JB’s comment that it lacked low end, it had a tin can sort of sound to it. The second half which was at least mostly instrumental was better imo. 2. I appreciate that JB was already declaring way back in November what does and does not constitute Rock music 😂 3. Kingdom Hearts Terry had some good points made.

[@M4570DON]

Definitely need to do Reptile from Periphery.

[@richardstowell7204]

Solid band. If you want heavy Djent try perephery 1 zylgrolrox i wanna say is the song name. I do find it interesting you praise Matt H on this song, yet every fill Danny Carey did you described it as badic and easy to play.

[@WongA-y5j]

react to periphery - all new materials or racecar. if you're looking for something heavier from them, I suggest make total destroy or buttersnips.

[@lorenzoturchetta8822]

"that was nice"🔥

[@calebcanterberry4426]

RESPECT THE FILLS B!!!!!

[@Banterlope]

You lads should check out Mine or Hypnosis by the band Sleep Token, such a solid album. Great reaction to this :) periphery are so sick.

[@chadmarx7718]

Periphery - Reptile! erised is one of their softer songs really, so rock isn't really an encompassing label lol

[@TrevIEnt]

1000% Reptile. The greatest combination of rock and the modern wave of progressive metal in their catalogue. Relentless groove, chops all over, LICKSSS. Too good to pass up, for real.

[@ginipig9929]

Should react to Thornhill - Coven nice and bouncy

[@darkaquatus]

This is probably one of their most chill songs. Now try Reptile and Satellites. Listening to that will either cause you to ascend or die xD

[@ethanbatts]

This is a much lighter song of theirs. Check out Scarlet if you want a little bit more grit, or Blood Eagle if you want a lot more heavy.

[@carloss.sounds]

if you want to check out another song from them, I would suggest 'habitual line-stepper'

[@adicicco11196]

KARNIVOOL - C.O.T.E. Australian prog rock band

[@richardoberlander930]

MORE " TOOL "

[@LuisGonzalez-ip8jp]

Realest

[@AzizAlawadhi]

Check out Reptile and Satellites

[@snidefultodd]

Periphery is one of those bands I would appreciate a lot more if they went purely instrumental. Which is why I'm going to recommend Copper Wasp by Night Verses. I was a fan when they had a vocalist, but since they've gone instrumental, I think their music is a lot more interesting for musicians to dissect. Love your content. Cheers.

[@thepowerofmyth]

One of the best reactions I've seen. No lie. Love from seattle. Looking forward to more. Check out sleep token.

[@Jd0t-plays]

I dig listening to music with yall I really recommend you guys check out some meshuggah. Clockworks is a good track to hit. I think yall will lose it over the rhythms.

[@marylandstationmusic9422]

Yea we get Meshuggah requested a bit, ill see what we can do

[@christiancolon147]

You were right. There is 3 guitars

[@depmaudoofal74]

👊🏼

[@БогданПавленко-ж6э]

React LeeGatto - Invasion (available on SoundCloud)

[@Shablagoo7861]

Отлично

[@michaelantoniades7750]

Check out reptile, satellites or absolomb

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

I've been a metalhead for 12 years, Periphery fan since the beginning. With their first album. You guys should check out Periphery- Ji Edit: I'm a musician as well. I've been playing keyboard for almost 14 years now. Great reaction

[@scambulance]

The genre is prog

[@crashatrek]

Check out Absalomb

[@buzwa2k]

It feels experimental, and that it mashes genres together because it's actually a progressive metal band. Oddly place rests, odd meters, polyrhythms, etc. All fall under the progressive metal genre. No rules really. The djent rules!

[@xXilisminusXx]

You guys would not like most of the stuff people are suggesting here (especially reptile, its criminally overrated and way too long) most of it is pretty heavy and not as artistic in the way dude with the dreads said. Their second album is the sweet spot there pretty much isn't a skip on there. You might like Ji, its groovy and on the weirder side

[@Mist_R]

Reptile!

[@jayray6488]

Let's go! Archspire - Drone Corpse Aviator. Periphery are ok, but the singing kills me. Sounds like a 12-year-old boy crying.

[@FrankieWithAnE]

They all look bored. Except the orange beanie guy

[@willvaughn6.395]

The dude with a bandana is a fucking joke

[@antonioscalcione7921]

I love your reactions y’all. Not too crazy bout this band. A little too emo for me. Also to hear the drummer put down System of a Down almost made me cry 😭 Maybe if you listen to Hypnotize by System of a Down you’d change your mind lol. As a side note, if you want to hear something new in the Alternative rock realm, check out either Reapers or New Born by Muse. If you want to hear another huge band that has a similar rap rock/metal style to Rage, try out Linkin Park. 🙏

[@sharinglungs3226]

First time listening to this band. Honestly if you guys didn’t review it I would have moved on when the singer first started. Just not a fan of that kind of vocal sound, reminds me like the guys said kind of emo screamy kids vibe. Glad I stuck around as the guitar solo and some of the drum parts were great and made up what for me was a lacklustre song overall. Can’t really say I would rush out to hear more.

[@Walans]

I appreciate that you guys can feel the modal interchange in the first solo 🎸📈📉🔵🟣
