Periphery is one of several bands created by Misha Mansoor, one of the greatest metal guitarists alive right now. We’ll definitely be hitting some of his other projects in this Metal March series.
This was the first Periphery song I ever heard, and I was immediately hooked. Screaming guitars, beautiful riffs, top notch musicianship, and layered melodic riffs instantly had my attention.
Misha’s songwriting style is very interesting, going all over the place within a single song and not always concerned about verse-chorus structure. The song goes where it needs to go, and does what it needs to do. While the songs don’t always follow a traditional structure as a result, it means that they always have a natural flow.
Enjoy this one. It’s a monster.
