PERIPHERY - Letter Experiment

Lyrics:
Flashing eyes of heat
Vessel through the deep
By the son of night, unclean.
Charon
Fear becomes belief,
For those who cannot pay the fee.
A coin to board the fleet,
Or one hundred years disease
Row
But the line it never fades
The story is bound to unfold in the end
Love of mine, gone forever
Say goodbye to the sky
Bound by time, enter the ride
Absently, I will be
Motivate fortune
Can't escape from the arms of death
Along the shore many faces accumulate
In preparation for the underworld
Single file ghost by ghost
The deck fills up to embark on the final sail
But the line it never fades
The story is bound to unfold in the end
Alone we rise and fall
Awaiting the day, a life coalesced.
Deep in the silence our fate is won
Create and consciously free the mind.
So far from where I lost my soul,
Depart, implore, divine.
In our minds adventure is always listening
Just stay here
The world isn't always listening
Disappear
Suffer in endless doubt
Holding onto the memories as they fade away.
These thoughts and sorrows will not remain.

[@tehpeasant]

This will always be my favorite Periphery song. I still remember... It's 2010, I'm on my way to school and it's summer and sunny. I'm listening to Periphery for the first time on my mp3-player and the 3:00 section starts and it feels like the perfect moment.

[@TheSpawol]

That Spartacus clip, aw man good times

[@tehpeasant]

@@TheSpawol Oh yes, almost forgot about that!

[@Ijuycra]

And I'm having a smoke in the alley next to my old warehouse just making every stank face possible to this groove haha, better times indeed.

[@yuribakker3079]

[@29subhra]

I remember my rich friend bringing his ipod touch 5-6th gen to school and we listening to this song in those stupid old apple earphones. It was so worth it, I would give anything to go back to those days ❤

[@HammerOfTheGods4]

[@Quaker763]

@@HugoStiglitz88 It is, but you won't hear too many Nu-Periphery fans say that

[@WynnofThule]

@@Quaker763 That's fair enough, it's not the sound they got hooked on. I guess I'm one of those fans, but I can appreciate their older sound even if it isn't my favorite. Like fuck...every time a permutating figure pops up its always fire no matter when they did it.

[@shiekastate]

​@@HugoStiglitz88 It's definitely P1 or P2. Both albums are incredible in their own way, but after P2, things definitely changed. As much as I miss the days of 2008-2012, I do still like what they make now.

[@Coveysconcrete]

this entire album reminds me of great times in my life after this album was released during a tough transition in my life to living a life being broke all the time and working my ass off to having my own company♥️💪I listened to this album every single day back then I always have great memories from that era of my life,I used these songs to motivate my ass to work harder to achieve my goals of having a successful buisness & moving into a much bigger place as I had my first born son on the way 😮 that time my girlfriend was pregnant

[@zM00Nx]

Well said.. Seamlessly jumping between singing and screaming is probably the hardest thing to do as a vocalist.. He's not jumping from screaming to whiny little pop punk vocals either.. He's jumping from screaming to pure, clean and powerful vocals.. Easily one of the most talent vocalist in metal.

[@wasianwonderer]

As much as i love the super bad ass djent riffs from Omega and P3, I really do miss pieces like this from their earlier stuff from P1 and P2. The instrumentals of their earlier stuff always hits me in the feels :')

[@Djuggernaut117]

God as my witness, the more and more I listen to this band (even their older stuff like this), the more I fall in love with them. By far my favorite band of all time, and one of the best that's out there both lyrically and musically. So fucking glad I found these guys.

Was that the band were John Bonham was in, in the late 60´s ?

[@pablo-arteaga]

I love this song. It's like jazz but metal.

[@k4shey]

It's called prog metal

[@pablo-arteaga]

@@k4shey I know what it is. And not all prog metal fuses jazz with djent, that what's I love about Periphery and a few other bands.

[@k4shey]

@@pablo-arteaga nonono, even if periphery mostly djent, they are still prog metal in general (and some songs like marigold aren't djent) and prog metal already include jazz, fusion, etc and combined with metal, so it's prog, and djent is subgenre of prog metal Yeah, and this is awesome

[@dragon___]

jetal

[@JEA21B]

Your opinion. Spencer is one of few modern singers who can sing both clean and screamed vocals and is great at both. He has a broad vocal range, keeps on working and getting better, is still young, has great stage presence, comes up with great melodic lines and lyric ideas and has a great band to support him. In my list he is in the top 3 frontmen in any metal band.

I'm not much of a Djent fan but I really dig the technical aspect of this style. It takes mathematical timing to perform breakdowns like the ones in this song. The leads are pretty sweet too. I also love this atmospheric effect of the techno and dubstep parts thrown in during the clean sections.

[@protestmyhero5613]

The only reason Spencer comes off as "emo" sounding to some folk, is that what he's singing is ridiculously high.. If you fancy yourself a high tenor and can hit some of those high notes without sounding as whiny then, congrats! But I think on this album he uses poor technique in his higher range so it sounds really forced.. He's a monstrous vocalist for sure though, even then, when he'd just started out..
