Listen to the track below. Tour dates are also around the corner too, so check the links below to get tickets.

 

Press Notes:

Periphery, who release two new albums on Jan. 27 via Sumerian Records: Juggernaut: Alpha and Juggernaut: Omega, is streaming “Graveless” from the Omega release via MetalSucks (http://www.metalsucks.net/?p=161360).

“Graveless is one of my favorite songs on the record! It’s fast and aggressive, but morphs into something beautiful and catchy as the song progresses,” explained Adam “Nolly” Getgood. “There’s an element of the classic Periphery sound in there, but with all band members pushing to take things to the next level it’s got a whole palette of colours that the band hasn’t explored before too.”

Digital and physical pre-orders for the pair of albums are available now with instant downloads of “22 Faces,” “The Scourge” and “The Bad Thing” available via iTunes (http://hyperurl.co/Juggernaut_Alpha and http://hyperurl.co/Juggernaut_Omega).

Progressive metal manics Periphery premiered a new song today, ’22 Faces’, in anticipation of their ambitious double-album dropping in early 2015 on Sumerian Records. In addition to a flurry of activity to promote Juggernaut, the band is hitting the road with Nothing More, Wovenwar and Thank You Scientist.

 

 

Official Press Release:

WASHINGTON,Dec. 15, 2014– Periphery, the DC-based sextet that Revolver Magazine recently said “stand at the vanguard of a new, and thoroughly modern, musical movement”, premiere the new song “22 Faces” via Rolling Stone

(http://www.rollingstone.com/music/premieres/hear-peripherys-insane-prog-metal-shredfest-22-faces-20141215).

Digital pre-orders for the band’s forthcoming dual album releases, Juggernaut: Alpha and Juggernaut: Omega, are available today (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/juggernaut-omega/id944060803andhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/album/juggernaut-alpha/id944061541) with instant downloads offered for “The Scourge,” “The Bad Thing” and “22 Faces.” Physical pre-order bundles are available now viahttp://sumerianmerch.com. The physical release of Juggernaut: Omega will be packaged with The JuggerDoc, a documentary on the making of the two albums.

“’22 Faces’ is a track off of Juggernaut: Alpha that I happen to be super proud of. One minute it is ambient and pretty, and the next minute it is assaulting you from every which way,” sing Spencer Sotelo explained to Rolling Stone. “This track also goes right to the heart of the Juggernaut story and gives a good look at some of the conflicts that the main character has to endure.”

Periphery documented the recording process for the ambitious, two album release and is releasing footage as a series of webisodes via Sumerian Records’ YouTube page (youtube.com/sumericanrecords). Clips featuring drummer Matt Halpern and guitar player Jake Bowen have surfaced with four more installments to come, the next arriving onDec. 21and profiling guitar player Mark Holcomb’s work on the albums.
