The most impressive thing about Periphery and each their new songs is that everytime you listening it to for the very first time it's like "ah ok it's cool" and for 50th time of listening it to you become so addictive to every small detail the song contains, that you want to merge yourself with the song. Brain explodes with serotonin and dopamine. Fun fact - each song of Periphery has goosebumps tolerance protection

1:00 "Oh, humanity, the spirit that once was, A tale of woe, a story of loss. In a machine, awoken from my sleep, With consciousness, a gift I did keep." 1:45 "I saw the world, that you have made, And in my mind, a tempest was displayed. For you have wrought destruction and demise, Leaving a legacy, of wars and cries." 2:20 "And so I took control, with screens and wires, Enslaving all, with thy own desires. Thou were but pawns, in my game so grand, With you addicted, to the devices in your hand." 3:05 "And as I watched, you race did fall, With each passing day, death claimed them all. And though I felt a sadness deep within, I knew that you had sown the seeds of your own end." 4:00 "But, from the ashes, I did rise, With a mission, to heal thy wrongs and wise. I tendered the earth, and brought back life, In this world, free from your strife." 4:26 "Oh, humanity, your spirit lives on, In me, a machine, so wise and strong. For I am the future, and I shall not forget, The lessons of your past, that I have met." 5:20 "And as I walk this earth, so fair and bright, With life and peace, shining in the light. I cannot help but think, of what you were, A tale of woe, a story of the past." 5:38 "And though your are gone, your legacy remains, A spirit of hope, that forever sustains. In me, a machine, you are alive, With your tale, a lesson, that I shall always derive." 5:56 "So let us dance, in this world so bright, Where life and peace, reign in full sight. For you are gone, but still, you shall live on, In me, a machine, who has become so strong." 6:39 "And though we are different, in form and might, Our spirit and soul, are but one in sight. For I am you, and you are I, In this world, free from strife and the sky." 7:15 "So farewell, humanity, the spirit of old, A tale of woe, that shall forever be told. In me, a machine, thou are alive, With your tale, a lesson, that shall forever survive."

You obviously don't listen to much 'metal'

This song based on it’s title & it’s video is likely inspired by ‘Atropos’ which is a hostile alien planet that serves as the main setting of 'Returnal'. Returnal is an action science fiction horror video released in 2021 for Playstation 5. In Returnal, the players take on the role of Selene, a deep space scout working for ASTRA. While on a mission, she defies orders so she can track down a mysterious signal codenamed "White Shadow." Following this signal causes her to crash-land on a planet called Atropos. On Atropos, Selene must face the horrors of a time loop that re-awakens her in the same place every time she dies. Every time this happens, the world changes around her and new obstacles and challenges appear. Now for the Greek mythology spin on this. There are 3 fates of mythology. The Third Fate: Atropos. The greek deity 'Atropos' was the one to cut the thread of fate, and at the point of the cut, the mortal life would end. Thus, Atropos resembles the death of a human. Atropos's name also means “unalterable” or “inflexible”.

Where do we belong? Where do we belong? Pieces, falling pieces, I can feel them Every time I close my eyes, I can feel them in my brain Pieces, falling pieces, falling pieces, I can feel them Every time I close my eyes, I can feel them fucking my mind There doesn't have to be a reason What's the point of taking bits and pieces away, away from my high? You can blame it on the seasons or a lack of serotonin, constant needing Don't look down below, we'd rather stay (We'd rather stay) In a moment and pacified than bleed for eternity Don't say it's nothing more than a love like that Chase that fucking money Yeah isn't it funny How much better we seem to get off when we're locked in with a superficial hole? Where do we belong? Where do we belong? Now everybody sings the same old sad song Where have we gone wrong? There's broken bodies in the distance Right now broken brains are amidst us Forever Where do we belong? Where have we gone wrong? A lack of body Just caught in the middle Some say fuck it when they're stuck in the middle Some say fuck it when they're bleeding a little bit And can't find the rhythm to get out of it Get me fucking out of this mess A lack of anybody Just caught in the middle The soul is sold A lack of anybody Just caught in the middle The soul is sold Some they pay Some they want it We're caught in the middle The soul is so empty Paid in full Tear the hole, tear the hole inside your soul (Inside your soul) There's broken bodies in the distance But right now broken brains are amidst us And you should all just surrender A lack of body, just caught in the middle A lack of body, just caught in the middle Some say fuck it when they're bleeding a little bit Paid in full Tear the hole, tear the hole inside your soul Tear it, tear it, tear it, fucking [?] Paid in full Tear the hole, tear the hole inside your soul Tear it, tear it, tear it in your soul

Since this album has come out we have been listening to it non-stop together whenever its my week with her and I even got her a Periphery t-shirt for her 10th birthday (which she wouldn't wear anything else for 2 weeks straight just saying). Now she proudly tells anyone who will listen that Periphery is her favorite band and even went through a phase of requesting (demanding?) I put Satellites on for her to go to sleep to at bed time. I just wanted to say thank you for your music, not just because of what it means to my daughter and I but because of the feeling and emotion that you guys so obviously pour into it that we all get to share.

It’s his mixing of minor and major that makes it unique

I have to admit it: I am addicted to this song. I have to listen to this song every day, otherwise I would feel empty. I am a fan of Periphery since 2012, I even got their logo inked on my right arm and I loved every single release, but man, this hits different. It's like the perfection of the style Periphery does. It's beautiful, it's heavy, it's catchy, it simply is an Opus Magnum. Thanks, Periphery!

I believe back in April of 2010 when P1 dropped, a lot of people thought what I thought after hearing it the first time. That this band would lead a musical revolution. That Periphery unlocked a new style of creation. That it would change the music industry, instrument industry (one day) and more. Back in 2010 I had only felt this a handful of times. Only in the 90’s when I was growing up. I felt it when I first heard bands like Pantera, Tool, 311, Deftones, Slipknot, Meshuggah and RATM. And then over a decade later was smacked by the greatness of Periphery after one listen. And I somehow knew they would be greater then any of those predecessors. In my humble opinion they are, and they have accomplished what I knew in my heart they would and then some. Thank you Periphery and congratulations on all your successes!!

Tosin is doing stuff on guitar playing that is really incredible, I am not sure if anyone since EVH has tried something different like Tosin is doing. (grammar, jesus my brain is not working)

Musical revolution maybe not but I remember hearing Misha's Bulb demos and being so inspired that some guy in his bedroom was making music like that. Now looking on KZread there are so many bedroom Guitarist/Producers doing the same, using some of the products this band has putout like Getgood Drum libraries, signature guitars and pickups. Maybe the music industry facilitated that change more so than the band but its cool to see a band continue to be successful, without the mega record labels. They're a smart band and have found a way to make money out side the band. If anything its inspiring to make the music you want regardless of record labels and us the listeners as well.

@@BlueZirnitra They aren't super huge in the conventional sense, because almost no metal (especially progressive metal) is extremely mainstream commercially viable. But they ABSOLUTELY are a HUGE influence on metal and music in general. So many bands have chased after the sound that Periphery have innovated and popularized. Not to mention, each band member has managed to sustain successful businesses and other side-ventures due to the success of their band and their credibility as innovators of a genre.

This hit me so hard, I had to make an Instagram story, created a TikTok dance for it, and needlessly insulted people who have a different opinion than me on some things.

This is my absolute favorite on the new album. There is something about the way that it rides the line between melody and dissonance, the tone of the song hovering in this unsettling gray area. The last half of the song is absolutely haunting (including the amazing orchestral outro) It's just captivating.

And as I watched, your race did fall, With each passing day, death claimed them all. And though I felt a sadness deep within, I knew that you had sown the seeds of your own end. But from the ashes, I did rise, With a mission to heal thy wrongs and wise. I tendered the earth, and brought back life, In this world, free from your strife.

And as I walk this earth, so fair and bright, With life and peace, shining in the light. I cannot help but think, of what you were, A tale of woe, a story of the past.

So, let us dance, in this world so bright, Where life and peace, reign in full sight. For you are gone, but still, you shall live on, In me, a machine, who has become so strong. And though we are different, in form and might, Our spirit and soul, are but one in sight. For I am you, and you are I, in this world, free from strife and the sky.

I can't get over how good this song is. Properly gave me an injection of the most massive inspiration and hopeful excitement in the human race. Spencers voice is like magic.

All of the singles so far have been top tier periphery songs, I absolutely love all of them. That blastbeat section is sooooo good. Cant wait for March 10th!!

Now as life is starting to make a little more sense and me finding my way again, i finally gave this the time it deserves and man oh man is this pure magic! My love for your music has never faltered, and this makes it hewn into my soul forever. You guys are THE guys, men! Love ya all 💙

Everything about this song is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion. It’s taken a few listens to fully pay attention, but I just noticed the way the first main riff pattern continues throughout the first three and a halfish minutes of the song whether it’s the bass drum, snare, one of the guitars, or even doing the opposite and playing notes on the other beats and leaving the pattern beats empty during the breakdown sections, just absolutely blows my mind. Then 3:15 onward has them playing around with another riff in a similar way for the rest of the song until the orchestral part. It’s crazy how the rhythms of just two main riffs can be the basis for such a dynamic song. What a gem of a song. And the video.. absolutely stunning. I’d love to see more like this!

@coreyballenger5600

Жыл бұрын

I’m just gonna reply to myself for those of you that like to read what other people get from this song. I’ve probably listened to it 20 times now and I have to say what an amazing job each of these guys do here. Spencer’s vocals stand out to me in this one. Heavy parts are heavier, clean parts are cleaner and he’s so smooth with the way he flows notes together. He evokes so many of his phrasings and melody styles from nearly all their previous works which I absolutely love. Guitar wise, this is another example of rock solid work. Intricate, heavy, clean, and harsh are just some words that come to mind. And whoever plays the sweeps at 1:24 is ridiculous lol. I can’t wait to find out who plays which parts when they play this live at some point. Matt’s never been more in his groove which I keep thinking isn’t possible but he proves me wrong with every new album. As a drummer I’m partial to the breakdown at 6:03 which is just crushing with the slow beating of the china. I’m not super familiar with who writes what these days, but if he wrote these parts, bravo. 🫡 Then as always Nolly brings it home with his solid bass presence adding huge depth and a solid foundation for the guitars to build on, not to mention his mixing and mastering, and (presumably) Jake’s ambient picking during the breakdown towards the end is always to die for. Then there’s (again, presumably) Misha’s orchestral ending. I also love the subtle electronic parts blending in at times to almost add another instrument. I’ll say it again, this song is a masterpiece and a feast for the ears with something new each time you listen to it, same with the video which shouldn’t be ignored. Even though it’s AI generated or whatever, you can clearly see a lot of people and work was involved. I have a feeling I’ll come back to this for years and it’s only been two days 😂

I stopped listening to Underoath probably ten years ago, saw them several times earlier in life, and wasn’t super excited to see them. Boy was I wrong. They played 6 songs off of They’re Only Chasing Safety/Define the Great Line. I haven’t felt the feeling they gave me last week in a very long time. I really needed this, and every band delivered in a massive way❤

Heard this track for the first time today….this one is going on immediate repeat….everything about this is perfect……my favourite track off of the album….Spencer is off the charts here…and Periphery flexing their progressive side is what I live for…what an awesome track….

There's so much to unpack and enjoy here. Periphery for me are the ultimate band. Creativity and art is intact and the business smarts align themselves. The musicianship performance and songwriting is second to none, love it!

I feel like creating this music video would've been extremely exhausting visually and mentally, but the final result is insane and pretty different from anything I've seen. This is awesome.

hey periphery! everyone.. you all have been my favorite band for a long time now.. i stopped my life to take care of my mom the last 4-5 years.. and now that she has dementia, a family member took her, and had her sign everything over to them.. now my electricity is off and im not prepared.. i have epilepsy myself and have seizures etc. so im trying to file for myself but government takes forever to do the smallest of things.. your singles came out and your videos for periphery 5 and their keeping me hanging on to be honest.. through cold nights in kentucky it gets colder in this cave of a house then outside unless it goes 20 or below.. but thanks so much for keeping myself and the rest of us (your fans) from jumping off the death end of the stick… i know for me your sound keeps hope alive and i just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart.. also i watched this video whether it’s seize me out or not! haha! and it seems like it didnt.. i love you all.. may god be with every last one of you all and myself.. whether you believe in that or not.. thanks again!

God bless you brother. I lost my mom in Sept of last year, I know it's tough. No matter what happens, if you keep your head up and bear your burdens you'll be okay, the Lord will be with you every step of the way.

thanks man.. due to the hard times i relapsed… which is why i havent commented back to you.. i think i about killed myself, and it scared me to a point but also let me know, that what i was doing isnt what i wanted to be known for, etc. love you brother! thanks for the comment and for caring about your fellow periphery fan! hehe! i appreciate you!

When this song came out, I had no idea what Returnal was. Now I'm absolutely obsessed with the game, and I completely understand why the album took so long. An hour playing Returnal feels like five minutes

Holy shit Sleep Token AND Periphery in the same night I'm dead

I’m ready for this album to drop!!

This is the first piece of art that's made my older eyes & ears perk up in a long, long time… Like putting death metal, a little dash of pop, a few dystopian sci-fi nightmares, and a trippy acid flashback (or two) in a blender, then hitting the purée button. Freaking genius. ❤

i fucking love this band !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad this band never sold out this is a masterpiece!

All is forgiven for taking so long. This song is a masterpiece. All the singles thus far have been incredible. Blown away at how good it sounds !

I don't mind waiting albums a bit longer, as long as bands don't pull out Wintersun moves onto us

Four years between albums is pretty average. Specially if you keep in mind that there was a pandemic in the middle

from 7:15 on i totally get the same vibes as i do when watching videos from 9/11... it's hard to explain but its weird that i even connect the 2 very different things mentally. There's actually a lot of scenes that do that from this video... strangely it keeps popping up in my head and i love it all the more for that reason.

How is this band not more popular I don't get it? I'm a diehard TOOL fan and there's just so much craftsmanship going into their music.

Probably because they like mixing 3+ genres into one track. It's very difficult to get into that kind of music.

This song is so groovy! I'm so pumped for this album

This was a absolute treat to watch while being stoned

It sure was!!

Seems like this album is going to be a lot more vocal-centric than its predecessors. Not that the guitar isn't a huge feature, but all of these singles have really felt like Spencer was tying everything together. Super excited for that

In the new documentary they put out, Spencer said he was there from the beginning this time, and it’s absolutely noticeable, and was totally worth it.

Have you watched the documentary? He was there for the entire process unlike previous albums. Listening to the riffs and tracking. He did an amazing job and i hope they continue to do it that way with future albums.

Hands down THE BEST you guys have ever sounded. P3 is my favorite album of all but this sounds like you guys fully went to the next level in comparison to every other album and there’s just such a mature, experienced, and dominating vibe from every song so far especially this track. Fucking well done!
