[@EmuPantyRaid]

The first note and it was blatantly obvious this came from Misha, lol

[@MarkToast99]

Something about his tone is unlike any other person in the world. It sounds like his guitar is actually speaking the word "doooot"

[@foxflavor62]

EmuPantyRaid 😂

[@jamesr2784]

Fuckin Bulbous..

[@IIESPD00DII]

The Bad Thing lol

[@k.w.a.s]

True say, he holds a patent on the open G#.

[@obssedwitmabass]

The amount of Misha in this song is overwhelming xD

[@swine13]

Misha is never overwhelming. Any amount of misha is the right amount of misha 😁👌

[@InMemoryOfJimmy]

Pure Riffery strikes again!

[@TMmodify]

InMemoryOfJimmy that's the most British periphery pun I've ever read EDIT : I forgot about that masterclass where Mark impersonated Nolly

[@Oghick]

The Arabic translation for Mansoor is actually God's will for djent

[@moglagaash]

Misha truly has a gift for writing music and it's very inspiring to listen to. He blends enough soul and technicality into the songs so they never get boring.

[@joeyhathaway8447]

You have my full agreement!

[@JaviPerera]

It sounds sooo Bulb :D

[@cmzangetsu1993]

I believe that's the point. lol

[@A_Western91]

I believe your a smart ass. lol

[@cmzangetsu1993]

Andrew Westernsauce I wasn't trying to be, each song is meant to reflect each person's writing style. so misha's work is bound to sound a LOT like his older stuff.

[@Nersonek]

Andrew Westernsauce You're...

[@thescottallen]

cmzangetsu1993 I think he was just confirming that it does indeed sound very Bulb.

[@RoccoPezzin]

dat fucking snare

[@wessix6]

Hah, INDEED !!!

[@RonCecchetti]

Dw Eft dat lead

[@TimsGamesDoneHard]

dat Misha

[@keevanski]

Old School Final Fantasyphery tracks. It sounds totally Mansoor. Loved it.

[@NEOL1NK]

Yeah you can hear the Nobuo in there, lol

[@chapterblaq]

Okay I thought I was the only one who associated periphery/bulb with final fantasy mostly because I listen to is while playing FF XV as apposed to Shimomura's subpar ost (subpar game BTW but that's besides the point) Then I found I out that Uematsu was one of their many influences and it all made sense. I consider "Omega" to be Noctis' unofficial theme.

[@MetalliDeth1223]

The Periphery ep I was listening to suddenly turned into Animals As Leaders.

[@thebreakfastman4638]

Didn’t misha help produce some of their albums, or was I lied to?

[@viraajgupta6047]

@@thebreakfastman4638 i think he does- i also remember when misha and tosin did a collab and made Optimist/Pessimist

[@adhithyaravisankar4846]

@@thebreakfastman4638 he helped co write and produce the first album w tosin, so i think it was just the two of them on that album. mishs programmed the drums.

[@_NotEnoughMana]

That tone has 'MAXIMUM TWANG' written all over it. What sorcery is this?

[@Destroianus]

7 years late but if u get a precision drive pedal and turn the attack knob up it's the exact same djenty twang u're pointing at

[@joeyhathaway8447]

See, I go with 'MAXIMUM BLONK' or 'MAXIMUM DIAAAOOOWWWW,' but to each their own, to each their own.

[@WildWildWeasel]

Overdrive into distortion, with the the middle position in split coil mode.

[@xBoN3sXx]

Im so fucking ecstatic over this...i was like counting the days till this albums release to hear it and now this shows up on my facebook and im like UWOTM8? THIS IS WHY I LOVE PERIPHERY AND THE FACT THEIR ON SUMERIAN RECORDS

[@jwcorcoran9838]

Love the melody that's playing underneath the heavy riff from 1:31-1:49

[@Zyborggian]

Absilutely BRILLIANT subtle thematic introduction to where that theme is developed at around 3:03 Utter genius And people say Mish is a weak songwriter PFFFFTTTTT Hes the biggest talent at it in the band... By an INSANE amount

[@PowerTurkish]

I don't know but that part sounds so "Anime" like.

[@Quaker763]

+LIONWAVE That makes a LOT of sense. Misha watches a bit of anime, and his some of his music (I'm pretty sure) has been inspired after he's watched Anime (i.e Eureka! on the soundclick page has an image from Eureka 7)

[@AddyMaxwell404]

+Jeff Corcoran thats that periphery chord haha

[@connorthedjenty188]

the riff from 0:00 - 5:30 is my favourite

[@capnmag]

NEVER GO FULL INSTRUMENTAL THEY SAID. WRONG THEY WERE.

[@Arcnaught]

Yeah I will probably be replaying this for over 9000x years

[@Th3EpitapH]

i don't think anyone into the genres you could call periphery says that... like ever xD

[@devkemp]

Periphery is fully capable of being an instrumental band, but that's not the sound they wanted. Sure, Misha and Nolly both wrote instrumental parts for this EP, but this was just a fun project. Periphery has an amazing vocalist in Spencer. I think he really adds something to this band.

[@xthexadvantagex]

They used to be full instrumental. No disrespect to Spencer but I liked them more then

[@foxflavor62]

Magnus Solås Right

[@lgdornelas1]

This is one of the coolest instrumental songs i've listened in the last few years. Heavy and progressive. And the best part, it doesn't have unnecessary virtuoso solos. Well done!

[@dmcfarlin94]

AAL.

[@iamrichlol]

Just noticed that Zero and Mile Zero are both the same length

[@HugoGuimaraes93]

WOW

[@medic2009guy]

I just noticed that your picture is like Misha's, fucking conspiracy's up in this thread.

[@iamrichlol]

[@KaraethonOfficial]

Plot twist, this song is actually Mile Zero backwards.

[@will4282]

Arran Cook dude, now I wanna hear Wes Hauch's guitar solo in reverse... SOMEONE GET ON THIS

[@stealthmaster96]

I have a feeling that if Nobuo Uematsu decided to join a metal band, he would make songs that sound just like this

[@Khaldolore]

he did join a metal band. google "The Black Mages"

[@stealthmaster96]

I knew about them, I mean original metal songs, not remixes of amazing FF songs

[@officialrhythmicthoughts]

Thanks Nobuo

[@SixStringsOfWonder]

Damn that was amazing, didnt expect less.

[@Myusernameistakenwtf]

What a wonderful thing to come home to :-) Will be listening to this EP for the next consecutive 3 weeks probably.

[@narodauhsoj]

I seriously laughed out loud at your username. hahahaha

[@Myusernameistakenwtf]

Josh Doran Hahaha well that's good to hear :-)

[@CarlWheezer69]

Misha always strikes me as the nice friendly looking person that listened to extra heavy metal

[@keenanrobinson7239]

Yeah lol

[@KaraethonOfficial]

I'm glad that bit at 1:30 got used for something, pretty sure Misha uses it for a test clip on his Soundcloud!

[@velixo4197]

Velixo yes!!! and my favourite clip actually! ahah

[@PaulMeranda]

i was thinking 'Not Enough Mana' the first time i heard this song.

[@carlosmadrid8628]

This song is great. Like the old Bulb stuff. I miss this side of Misha.

[@Jordanpascal]

HOW DOES ONE COME UP WITH SUCH TASTY RIFFS?

[@XBUGMANX]

I'm sold. I want Misha to write the whole Album. Genius, now imagine Spencers vocals to this work.

[@panagiotispantazis7189]

The song was named Zero because of the fact that Misha really digs Code Geass' main character Lelouch Lamperouge A.K.A Zero.

[@treehann]

Code Geass is baller

[@chadmarx7718]

Lelouch Vi Brittania*

[@zackwilke8845]

Misha is such a cool song writter ! I really like his phrasing, he definitely has like a pre cognitive musical mind to say the least

[@TheRevProdigy777]

Needs some more Sponce

[@Babulous]

all i can imagine is a sweaty misha alone on a stage with the lights bearing down on him djenting his heart out to a silent audience made speechless in awe of his performance.

[@sosa4109]

Already listened to all the tracks and they are all seriously amazing! Periphery did a fantastic job on this EP and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us in the future!

[@sonicboom20078]

This reminds me a lot of Animals as Leaders... Might be because Misha is producing their next record.

[@Andymosity]

XxicruffesionalxX Yeah. I believe Diego from Volumes is helping with production too.

[@maxnewellmz8025656]

If anything on Juggernaut sounds anything like this then I'm pumped as fuck

The room on that snare is perfect.

My body is ready for Juggernaut now.

[@ImJustinKAY]

SPOILER: I talked to Matt about juggernaut 2 weeks ago and he said that the album might not even be called Juggernaut o.o

[@DGKrew00]

But Juggs is such a good name :(

[@ImJustinKAY]

but then again, my might have made a better name for it :D

[@DGKrew00]

I'll be happy with whatever they call it, but in my heart it's still called Juggernaut. IT NEEDS TO BE CALLED JUGGERNAUT.

[@magiaburst]

And it became Juggernaut. Happy now? :

[@neelchoudhary6763]

3:03-3:55 Bliss. that's the only way to describe it

+Saturnr3nacido2 That perfect reverb tho

[@Saturnr3nacido2]

Yup rite

[@EliPorterMahn]

you people wanting too much reverb on snares....

[@tfwnoyandere]

doesnt sound like a snare

[@Sporetube41]

I feel like it would be awesome if every night at a show, the band would play a regular set, because they said they probably won't play too much of this material live. BUT, midway through the set they would ask the crowd what song from Clear they wanted to hear the most. And whoever has the loudest vote get their song played... Either that or just play one of the songs at random as an encore lol

[@caelenkibler6049]

3:55 just makes me feel alive for some reason

[@keenanrobinson7239]

Right! (Ik this comment is old).

[@patrickvanvlooten]

Great song... What I probably like most is the sound of the guitars and the snare.

[@spencercagle4009]

This will forever be one of my favorite songs.

Misha's Epic Melody of Ingenious Riffs: A Periphery MEMOIR: Zero

[@khavens101]

Going through the new EP...every track is a new adventure. So many musics

[@dmcfarlin94]

Produced AAL, BOO, VOM, and Periphery. Easily the best 4 bands ever. I think I would die for this man.

[@thomasparsons5700]

Didn't know this comment section was a coffee shop. All these hipsters missing "old periphery". Bands evolve or they die.

[@friendlyneighborhoodasianm912]

old periphery and new periphery just mean good periphery

[@sosko8407]

this is old periphery basically

[@smashrhythm]

People need not to think so much about music. The thing i found about music is it always grows on you. If you don't like it now give a couple more listens and you may love it. Don't forget this is Periphery they are essentially "prog" so they are bound to change a little bit from album to album. There is so many riffs in their songs you have to love at least one, so think of the song as a build up to that awesome chunky chunka.

[@BiggyTalls93]

This song reminds me so much of Periphery I. Pretty much everything amazing from Periphery's first album made it's way to this song, with the polish of PII.

[@FantaFuture92]

the production on this is as always insane!

[@keenanrobinson7239]

There's something about Misha's work that I always cherish and listen to.

[@SecretfulWolf]

I think misha is proving that music doesn't HAVE to be incredibly complicated to be actually good

[@Kaiveran]

Even though it kinda is, with the time signature trickery and entire section in quintuple time which is really hard for most people to play. I think what is being reached for here is something that the great Jojo Mayer has said: that complexity of the music is not a barrier to engaging with a large audience. What IS a barrier is when you "don't balance a cerebral statement with an emotional one". When there's no connection between _playing_ and _feeling_. There are lots of bands that don't make that connection. Periphery does, and that's why they're blowing up.

[@ihuntfortheleak1334]

***** So does ANYTHING Hannes Grossmann touches compositionally, so I'd recommend you checkj him on the "connection between playing and feeling." The most complicated thing about Misha's and somed of MArk's music is the chord/melody/rhythm choice which is what makes me looooove it

[@KINGodfather]

Gadamn Misha Mansoor ,you brought tears of joy to my face...well done sir, well done...

[@micheledecinti1039]

For me this song is the "the dance of eternity" of Djent.

[@jamievitullo8602]

I wish everyone would stop calling it an album when it's clearly not an album nor an EP. It's just Clear. Nothing else!!

[@riceboy287]

so far this might be one of my favorite ones of the EP

[@MykeyBrooksMyKeyDB]

DAYYUUUMMM misha da tone...da tone...

[@Dimebag333x]

My brain just melted at the end. Thank you very much

[@mrkidotski]

woah! I am just in the zone while playing arcade when these tracks came out. It makes the feel a hundred times better.

[@stephenguitarist9726]

Periphery - excellent work again

so damn good. fav so far

[@OnMyRock]

Sweet riff at 2:27 :D this make me feel so good!!

[@joemcbobinite]

Congrats bros. You guys make beautiful music.

[@supnegus7711]

Im suprised misha didnt include sponce. Reminds me of the old periphery tho, which is a very good thing.

[@tiadalma77]

It's great to see a band like periphery that has come so far musically to do a project like this. Definitely not a fan of every piece of music i've heard on the CLEAR album, but i think all musicians at least, like myself, can listen with an open and objective mind. ZERO is by far my favorite track but i can admit that is mainly because i've followed and downloaded misha's music since he was just BULB...which by the way if any of you haven't listened to that eargasm of yumm, i strongly suggest you check it out....anyway! all in all, kudos to these great dudes! I've had the honor of opening a show for them years back and they continually amaze me with their skill and ingenuity...

[@geronimo546]

Damn man, the clear EP is on another level

[@1TheResurrectionists]

Have to say as much as I think all the other tracks are great, this is definitely the facet of Periphery that I find most endearing and unique to the band, I think tunes like this with bits and pieces of the other tracks would be a perfect Periphery album for me.

[@nikosriekstinsfgfs]

Excellent track

[@benpugh9113]

Personally I like the snare sound.

[@jarradmurphy5984]

Probably my favourite on the album, reminds me a lot of P1, Love it

[@DroneForMusic]

Beautiful

[@th6674]

Definitely the most Meshuggah-tique tune of this record. Bulb's really got the essential of Meshuggah and his own unique voice is always blended at the perfect formula!

[@1mindlessmusic1]

I love how each member is commenting on their own song. Nolly was in his song's comment section, Misha commented here and Matt commented on his song

[@zsreich]

guitar tone reminds me of the last album from monuments. Some very interesting rhythms and guitar riffs. I dig it.

[@rollpoze]

Soooooo signature.....unmistakable......!!!

[@skoneloke]

This one definitely grew on me, my new fav off of Clear!

[@oelhiraika]

[@YFZ52]

[@lukamarkac6706]

I love that part at 2:45 - 3:01. Those side things Misha pulled out besides the main riff sounds ridiculously powerful.

[@QuantumTeapot]

These guys are amazingly talented at instrumentals. I just wish they sung more.

[@TonyAllain]

Knew this was Misha the second it started blasting in my car. My favorite track on Clear as well.

[@ObeseChess]

I fucking love that more and more Uematsu is coming out in Misha's writing.

[@ursofired5557]

I don't mean to be in the slightest way nitpicky, because the instrumentals are so awesome as they are, but I would've loved so much to hear this song with Spencer's voice thrown in.
