This right here is Periphery's magnum opus

Racecar backwards is racecar. This song is cooler than that, though.

Thank you, to the guys who are Periphery. I'm 43 years old and have been totally captivated by the talent pool Metal gives birth to since I was 12 years old.( Jake E. Lee is still one of my heroes. heehee) I have found my new favorite band. Thanks guys, From the bottom of my heart, this beautiful, crushing music truly makes my insane life, in this insane world, so much more worth waking up for in the morning. Peace to you.

Took me 10+ listens to realize this is the best song ever written and played, but now it's eargasm overloaded :'D

11:48 is such a beautiful little section, I love OLD periphery.

WTF 11 years later and this song is still a fucking banger

The Jeff Loomis solo at 10:20 punches me right in the soul. So good.

Four different vocalists on this: Spencer Sotelo Elliot Coleman Chris Barretto Casey Sabol

Best Periphery song EVER, totally stands the test of time. I'm a big Prog Rock fan and I love the time changes and the length and the journey it takes you on. They're really channeling there inner Yes here. Djenty Yes

I miss THIS Periphery, this song is the pinnacle of mathcore of the early 2010's.

I was trying to do a project for my digital media class, this is not the race car audio i was looking for XD

Oh wow, this song has almost more sections than there are letters in the alphabet.

12:42 to 13:52 is quite possibly the most epic, soaring, bone-chilling part of the song in the history of ever.

12:42 on has to be one of my favorite parts in any piece of music. It's sort of hauntingly beautiful, with the beautiful clean guitar playing a happy yet somber chord progression. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it, but it catches my emotions off-guard and once the vocals come in, my emotions burst. Eh, I can't really describe it well, it's just music communicating well.

Freedom beyond or control Partition, they break out in endless stride I'm on the floor in travail Faithful days fall Memories hold Free my soul Seeking within The curtain call Fleeing our fate Every step now recalled Down the drive Staying so close Retraction weighs my soul We are thunder We are all the space in tow Now again This happening My handle is honest calculation Free of the pain Seeking the glow We both need it so Time will give way Time will formulate Seeking within The curtain call Fleeing our fate Every step recalled Don't deny Staying so close Creation is our call We haven't lost our sight These memories ignite Now have we lost our way Were taking back all that we know Discretion, the only thing that made me incomplete Cast the sail, just to spin this fate Cross the empty sect in flight Pleasant memories Redefined all that's left The sound it, makes me scream I can hear your voice at night (Your light lost in a waking dream within) Freedom is not of control Endless the chase, pushing through I'm so engulfed Falling to strain, but I still persist All this will never seem Follow the light I'd like to paint this tapestry With our blood To represent the symmetry Following the sickened result of possibility Refuse the violent source of pain that made you Left to deny that it will change with no solitude Let us take this train Leaving the form, stretching far beyond what I can see Chasing the race Left to complete My revelation Reaction creates the fall Realize These are broken words Shattered thoughts amend See beyond the only present road Just let go Counsel to ascend See beyond the only present hold Let go Cannot comprehend Leave it all to find a moment's love I am Working to be complete No more adversity Growing consciously My revelation Reaction creates the fall Realize These are broken words Rising on my own Sage advice, embrace wisdom Hang the past Take the helm Fashion a new future to live In your flame I see regret I've awakened To feel a piece of distant past harmony How could I not see Possibilities and unlimited passion Hello luminescent being Walking outside of my lost identity Celebrate For in the end, we'll meet inequality Seeking within The curtain call Fleeing our fate Every step evolve I see light I see light in your eyes

In this battle for the ages, we two true masterpieces. In this corner, we have the track that defined a band, At a staggering 45 million and 2 pounds, we have the fifteen minutes of Frenzy, The djentlemans journey, The palindrome of Power..... RRRRRRRRACECAR. And in the other corner we have the corner piece of Juggernaut. Weighing in at 45 million pounds. The Beast of Badassery, The Climactic Cataclysm, The true definition of epic, .......OOOOOOOOMEGA. Now keep it a clean fight, boys.

9:11 sickest riff ever made.

This should be the theme for Gran Turismo

Damn!! Why didn't I hear to the full song before? even after so many yrs of loving this band. Truly epic song !!

I 15 minuti più belli della mia vita.

Still one of my favorite songs ever!

Just perfection, an absolute masterpiece, this song totally just seals the "favourite band" mark. Btw, don't shit on me cause I spelled "favorite" with a "u", hush I'm Canadian.

every time i listen to this song i get goosebumps

At first I didn't like the singer. Then I listened to the full self-titled album. I like the range he has, new appreciation will do that.

11:25 - 12:42 is still the best riff that Periphery has ever written.

All I know is ..... The drum's note is too difficult to play ...and when the song starts , My head cant stop shaking! awesome!!

10:21 is just beyond insane

i don't even care that this is fifteen minutes long, its just amazing

This song is just full of juicy, constantly changing my pants kinds of riffs. Well I've gone and soiled myself again. And that solo made me shit myself as well.

1:45 damn this riff is so beautiful, the way it was transitioned all the way, and I can't believe i'm not even half way to the whole music

one of their best songs ever

The one dislike was obviously Jeff Gordon who cannot drive to win NASCAR to save his life.

9:54 I can never get over that fucking insane guitar solo. God damn man that shit is sexy.

This is the first HD version i found. Cheers to you bro

Thank you Become the knight

I'm so glad I got the hear them play this live, and got to meet the whole band after the show.

Thanks for the HQ upload, brilliant album! Twang Twang

Periphery released a ton of songs this long in PV, but I still enjoy Racecar more than any one of them. It has more of a cohesive structure and feels more fresh to me

this is the SICKEST thing

I mean what can be said, one of the best things ever heard. PERIOD

15 minutes and 20 seconds of chills and awesomeness. I just can't describe it. This song is a fucking masterpiece.

This right here is periphery transformation into a super saiyan and leading into periphery II or ssj2

Damn the riff through the last half is just so heavy to me!!!

The transitions in this song are to die for

Thanks! I lost my welcome a few days ago. Good thing you found it!

It's cool how they could of divided this up into 3 different sick songs, but decided to make one huge epic song.

I love how Sabel's vocals are in here, and he got fired long before Spencer came in and re-recorded the vocals.

They didn't need to go so hard but I'm glad they did.

12 years later and i still listen to this on the daily

melted my face. thaaaaaank youuuuu!! i love this song so hard big hugs to you

He didn't get fired, he left, and he helped them choose a new singer.

Wow! This is a masterpiece!!

This is the most metal channel name ever

Dat fucking ending riff, actually pretty much every riff in this song is Gold

This sounds beyond awesome.

I gotta say, the first 3 minutes have the coolest groove ever, it always hits

Truly amazing, stunning stuff...

What an absolute beast of a track!!!

10:44 - 10:48 Damn how is that even possible,

Regreso a escucharla despues de unos 3 años y dios mio como amo esta cancion y todo lo que transmite, cantarla es un deleite

My favorite Periphery song. Love the opening riff. Sick shit. And the song is just put together masterfully.

my ears are in love with misha mansoor

Indeed, this is an absolutely EPIC track.

I just got challenged to do a vocal cover of this

oh, im only 8 minutes into this song and realized its 15 long XD

Veredika - quit to join the army. Sabol - quit because he didn't want to tour. Baretto - fired for being a douche. I think that's everyone.

you sir just blew my mind xD

"Seeking within the curtain call..." Goosebumps every fucking time

Damn this song is still awesome. Classic.

4:35 what a voice, what a voice

9:28 The cymbal work!

yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeessssssss!!!!! dude i just met him on sunday. such a chill bro hahaha

Chills every time!!

I like the video effects +ILikeEatingGuitars. Good job!

I absolutely LOVE the riff change at 6:39 :P

I wish periphery would go with two vocalists Spencer and Elliot's voices contrast each other beautifully

It's beautiful

I like the whole song but from 12:42 and on is amazing

#stuckinmyhead

I see what you did there. Very Clever.

I personally take influence from this and experience. I'm a drummer so any new type of beat or style of any metal band like this makes me happy to know metal or any other genre trys to make there self sound good naturally

damn you are so cool you really got him there, saying that backwards of Racecar wouldn't work because the back r would be capitalized u r the coolest evar u must have so many friends

2:55 - 4:00 one of the coolest chord progressions I've ever heard. Wish I knew how to play it...

4:15 best part

plus his solo on here is sick

Ok thanks i'll check those out.

when i first saw the album cover, i thought "dudes must be fans of Predator"

0:48 insane beats!!

Spencer's highest note is in Air Atlantic by Being

thanks

0:47 - 1:07 ah jeez, this section man ❤️❤️❤️

well said, bro.

youtube asked me if I was still watching... Bro, there's still 8 minutes left of the song

The solo around 10:00 phrasing is so effing cool! ❤it! 🤘🤘

lol the solo they got from Loomis still slaps so hard OMG

Doesn't get much better then that

Hoping they play this at Saint Andrews Hall in Detroit in February.

Right. I was thinking of Baretto who DID get fired (right?) I've been following bulb for years, but never really figured out why they went through vocalists like crazy. I prefer Baretto over Sotelo, though. So much more "arg arg arg" in his voice.

my pastor loves Racecar

Sick. What are some other songs like that?
