One of the legends himself!

Mishoor himself!

We love you Misha. Can't wait for new Periphery

You sir, Um, ya You.. Chuggernawt

Two boxes that is! 😁

Turns out it leads to Narnia.

Yes!

i was at progressive nation at sea and in the elevator with Misha Mansoor and this guy kept asking who in periphery was Petriccis cousin. Misha was super awkward about it and was joking that it was him. he later left the elevator and the guy was super confused. pretty funny. It was 7 years ago so i might be remembering half of it wrong

wow really??? that’s amazing! 😳

By marriage, not blood

@@WP_DIYEverything still his nephew

Your profile pic is the best album to ever exist imo

Why would they have not been able to do it

@@firstpogo Sumerian were being quite aggressive with having them write more radio friendly stuff, Misha will often refer to "22 Faces" from Juggernaut as "22 faeces" because of a radio version Sumerian wanted done which flows horribly and sounds so unlike Periphery

@@EnDTh3S1L3NcE sumerian wants a great band to change their sound to be on like 3-5 college stations that have 0 listeners? Haha good riddance

I would argue P3 is their best end to end

definetly their magnum opus at the moment,

I still think it's Racecar, but Reptile follows up closer than a shadow.

​@@TheEmperius Reptile for the journey, Racecar for a consistent quality, Omega for the aesthetic and now Dracul Gras for catchiness.

While you're at it, please check out Skies by Protest the Hero!

He’s totally prepared for Protest! ❤️

I would have never heard of SikTh if not for Periphery. Such a great band once you get into their rhythm.

First time listening to this song and I was thinking, these guys must have been influenced by Sikth, then at 18 minutes in "these guys are REALLY influenced by sikth" then at 18:30 "either these guys got Mikee to guest on this song or someones gonna get sued". It's weird to think that weird little band I saw supporting mad capsule markets in 2002 ended up influencing so many bands

I adore Sikth. I'm a sucker for groups with multiple lead vocalists.

Sikth doesn't get the recognition they deserve when it comes to influencing a shit tonne metal bands. And as well along with Meshuggah, Sikth was one of the influences of the djent sound.

I always wondered who had done that part

King mothership album just needs to be a play!!

Honestly, even though I personally like their heavier albums like “one” and “Polaris” a little more than “altered state”... Altered state is THE album to start with for a new listener in my opinion. It will get you hooked looking for more, at least it did for me. Interesting note ab the singers: Altered state has a separate singer from their other albums. Both singers are great in their own ways, much like each of their albums as overall sonic pieces of work, respectively, they are each pretty unique from one another, yet still tremendous! Tbh, I didn’t vibe with them too much at first, but now I literally don’t skip any of their songs when they come on shuffle. This is definitely one of those bands where their most popular songs aren’t my favorite, but I still love all of their music, if that makes sense lol. Thanks for reading. Cheers!

Also I know it’s definitely a longshot buttt.. I’d definitely watch every single video, if you decomposed their entire discography. If you did this, I’d recommend doing a few songs together, as many of them flow together seamlessly. 👍

@@hailstone. I would love to see breakdowns or reactions to whole discographies of bands there are so many bands that need full listens to understand the developments within afew songs or albums being linked in full I would love to see small sections from albums but then review whole albums again I’ve mentioned in a previous comment the band ‘Novena’ album eleventh hour requires a full listen to appreciate the full ability and art of the band, would love to see full breakdowns of either albums or discographies

@@lukeratcliffe2973 totally agree! 👍

This, 100%!

Agreed. Great lessons. Spenser and Chris make a cool team.

Heyy... Heyyy! HeY!!...HEEEEYYY!!!! Be the dying cat on the way to work

Great comment Nate, this is definitely something alot of us who watch Geebz are going to be interested in (I speak for myself in particular but I don't think it's a big stretch to say I am not the only one with this opinion). Going to watch some of that stuff straight after I'm done watching this video. I like Chris already so no doubt that will be a great collaboration! Thanks again Nate C

When I saw this comment I had a great idea of what part of the song you were talking about, this is literally why I’m here lol! I had to see the reaction of that incredible section of the song!

He looks like a proud dad 😊

second only to the The way the news goes, Absolomb, and Lune trilogy

Oh my god, somebody else knows about “Somewhere in Time”?! That’s one of my all time favorites. I still geek about P2 these days, but I try not to get stuck sounding like a washed up “old school fan” 😂

I've listened to the somewhere in time video so much that when I listen to P2 and Ragnarok doesn't come immediately after Muramasa it throws me off lol

Also check out King Mothership

@@nickboyd1285 same lol

Absolutely agree. Amazing albums. Definitely some of my favorites right there with P2, P3, and P4. Can't wait for their new album

I hope their teaser for the new album is Juggernaut 2. Me and one of my closest friends have been wanting a Juggernaut 2 for so long.

@@Youshallbeeatenbyme they made a comment online something about "maybe this album doesn't need a number" and I HOPE that means a sequel to Juggernaut

juggernaut, both sides.... def my favorite periphery album

Majestic auraaaaaaa! \m/

This!

100% gave me goosebumps. It still does when Spencer hits those high notes near the end

Satellites is soo haunting... so musically perfect. Reptile is too. I love this album. And P3. Marigold... Prayer Position...

I don't think that was meant for the audience in general. It was just a way to direct something at the people who leaked this album a week before release. If you find a copy that doesn't have that message, it's an illegal copy or a pre-released version.

@@CrazybassistGaming that's interesting, I never knew that!

@@CrazybassistGaming no, they explained why it was in there. They put it in for fun hoping that the managers or whatever would catch it during the prooflistening of the album but they never noticed. so they left it in for fun

@@DrummerRF maybe what I read was wrong, but I definitely remember reading about the leaker story the day after release. I guess I'll have to look into it again

Definitely Spencer's best work. I believe he hits his highest note in Satellites. Love the message in it too.

If you want know more about the band, they have released a few documentaries focused on their respective album. I think you would find the HAIL STAN documentary the most interesting as they talk about working with live studio musicians like the string and choir in reptile. Somewhere in one of those videos is Misha geeking out over his synths and playing around with pads and such.

Also, you may like Bulb. It's Misha's solo, Instrumental project.

This is the song that really got me into them although I’ve been listening on and off for years... now it’s been a year and haven’t stopped. Their Juggernaught albums are unreal too!

Their live recording session of this song is what hooked me

@@NHPaintballer Stranger things and Omega are absolutely amazing songs.

Straight up includes a whole section from the chorus of garden in the bones I believe. Cool foreshadow to another song later in the album.

@@gregm.8256 same notes, different lyrics

garden in the bone is definetly a reprise to reptile, i would say its one of the best melodic vocal lines ive ever heard

Whole album is amazing

yeah sikth is dope, on periphery's tour after this album came out they had sikth as one of their openers. i havent heard of them before that but i sure as hell started listening to them after that

First time hearing these guys. But as to 16 min songs, I've eclectic taste, and love long songs, Tool, first Goldie album first song timeless was like 21 minutes, brought it unheard, as I liked Tricky, Massive, and the rest of the Bristol sounds. Put it on at a party for first heart. Might have been high but blew my mind. Back to this song, love it and it's as long as it should be, I'm going to have to dive into their catalogue now.

Side note, watch their Periphery 4: Hail Stan documentary! It’s a killer look into all of this!

Realized also this makes it sound like I haven’t played music since I was 4. I’ve been away from playing music for about 5/6 years now.

You are, but I’m not sure how one goes about that process!

It simply can’t. Even reaction channels with 1mil+ subs who especially focus on music will never be able to monetize their channels cuz every single video of his gets copyright striked, which isn’t a penalty or anything, it just means that the label is now allowed to place ads and collect that revenue. It even happens to my channel and I have less than 200 subs and I’m covering the songs on guitar, playing over them at a pretty loud volume and sometimes even adding my own parts for songs that for example have no guitar riffs in the verse or something and I still get claimed. So we (this channel and mine) can never monetize with the use of Adsense or any mid-video ads. But yes, he should have a silver KZfaq Play button by now and it’s fucked up that he doesn’t. KZfaq pretty much sucks balls. Oh he is getting to the point where he can get sponsored, like by Raid Shadow Legends...I know that everyone reading this has seen a video sponsored by them lol. Those can bring in a decent 💰. Hopefully KZfaq let’s him know about that if he reaches out to them again.

I'm sure it takes time

KZfaq has been hesitant to hand out plaques to reaction channels because the content "isn't original enough". Take that as you will...

@@ZolFox Just for clarity, it’s copyright claims that result in ads. Copyright strike is where they make you take the video down. 3 copyright strikes and YT shuts down the channel forever.

Yes would love to see this maybe some more teseract as well

Yes love The Contortionist!

@@lukeratcliffe2973 if you had to recommend a Tess song for him to pick... which one would it be? I always have a hard time recommending 1 particular song from them. Either “Of matter” or “Eden” if I had to pick.

@@hailstone. it’s hard to pick a singular tesseract song as their entire discography in my eyes is amazing but Eden is a good call same of matter, broad appeal would go hexes or nocturne amazing songs but personal preference to see get some exposure would be April, one of my favourites

@@lukeratcliffe2973 totally agree. Great to know there’s like minded individuals out there lol

Couldn’t agree more. Perfectly put.

Yes ! I love that he says he doesn’t want to swear on his channel but consistently mouths the F word to himself. I love it so much. lol

Happy to know I'm not the only one that does this haha. agreed on everything else you said too.

@@seancameronrooker4923 I'm back again 😄

Racecar!

Racecar > Reptile (palindromes FTW)

@@cookedrums1044 lol

@@cookedrums1044 on that note, 'racecar is racecar backwards' by Reuben is one of my favourite albums of all time

Must do Alpha with Omega. The way the ending of Omega ties in with the chorus of Alpha, but tweaked slightly, is brilliant.

Those guys were so sick live it was unreal, they were supporting periphery too haha

I’m glad someone can put into words the feelings of joy these videos bring me haha

PS - Still waiting on Symphony X - The Odyssey when you have 25 minutes ;)

@@gregoryspunt6509 love me some symphony X every once in a while 💪

Agreed! This song changed the way I look at heavy music forever.

and seeing it live is a religious experience.

Native Construct are amazing. Would love to see them put out another album.

Man I loooove Native Construct they are really slept on. Too bad they split up...

@@trowabarton222 they broke up unfortunately 😕

I came here to recommend this song, too lol

Great suggestion. Chromatic Abberation is definitely a ride, but I believe it's best listened to after listening to the rest of the album first. As a composition its really chaotic and calls back to a lot of riffs and instruments in the preceding songs and that would be lost if this was the first song he heard. I believe Spark of Archon would be a better first listen but I'm sure he'd appreciate CA just the same.

Ooh, what are they for you? I have several lol. Mine are: 4:10, 12:42, 25:06, Mark’s punch at 25:41, 26:10, 27:00-27:14, but my fave is from like 19:00-20:04 with the hit at 19:15, but the whole thing together is just incredible.

Or 2:09 on Weezer’s Buddy Holly

@@myklelara Definitely at that 19:15 mark and the one at 27!!! It's usually a soaring vocal part that gets me and especially if it's paired with an impactful lyric. One that always gets me is Protest the Hero - "She Who Mars the Skin of Gods" on the line "This shotgun will instead".. definitely the most emo part ever but it gets me! lol

Checked Juggernaut out because of this. Super gay. Can't stand the vocals. I don't know how to even call it - 80s cheeeeeese vocals?

@@tydendurler9574 sad you didn't like it... Hopefully you find something else you like :)

@@windack768 not sad, rather the opposite when you already love, like and listen to a gazillion other bands. That's why i thought "what wait, THIS? really?" while listening. I rather listen to Meshuggah for the millionth time. Or Opeth...or Dream Theater...or the Ocean...or Oceano...or Isis's Oceanic...you get the point.

@@tydendurler9574 are u 12? Using gay as an insult lol

@@Lena-jo9ll i use as insult what i want to use as an insult, thank you Mr "lol" And no, i am not homophobic.

My favorite Periphery song, hands down.

@@StevenKrug Same! I love that song so much

Rick Beato’s breakdown of Absolomb is my favorite video on this entire platform.

Chord shapes, voicings, and arrangements are all music theory. It's similar to saying that you don't know grammar, you just know verbs and nouns.

nahh c'mon. Let's not do a scarecrow over music theory!

That's more Misha I remember hearing in an interview once he's not super fluent in theory.

@@Jefftarnish Misha, Mark, and Jake have all commented about not knowing or practicing music theory

@@Jefftarnish Yeah but he means compared to Beethoven.

any ERRA from impulse or Augment

I'm so sad for the lack of reactions/reviews for dementia. I hope he reacts to it

Incredible song. Great suggestion

@@dereklawless9915 I didn’t mean for it to come off like I’m talking shit, I really do love this song and jam it all the time. Have a good life Mr. lawless

@@whatisahandleplz bro both those singles were absolute BANGERS holy fuck

@@joeydillon2 they were indeed, the new album is awesome!!

Every time they put out a new album it’s my favorite album. P6(if they call it that) which we should have in about 2 years if the band continues its current trend will also be my favorite album

@@JD_13 I always recommend One of us is the killer as a first exposure to Dillinger. It slaps but it’s not a sledgehammer to the side of the head like some of their other songs! Haha

@@JD_13 Dillinger is one of my favorite bands, but they are also one of the least accessible bands to introduce people to! Lol

@@JD_13 I remember reading a review for Miss Machine in Decibel magazine, and Came across it in a listening station at my local record store. I had no idea how to process the noises going into my ears. It made an impression though!

for sure, The Dear Hunter are worth checking out

I've thought about recommending TDH, seems like a perfect fit

Yesssirrrr we need more ppl recommending bro
