​@@Wiznarskiyeah man, I didn't get into the Juggernauts until after listening the sht out of P5 and I love the connections and references between the three records. I guess you could call it musical world building.

to reference Misha, they all don't like playing guitar solos especially since they have to play them live lol. they usually would rather let things be instrumental or have vocal parts. But if something really calls for a solo, they all have a very distinct sound to their soloing (Misha's proggier Meshuggahy scales and runs, Mark's liquidy slidey jumpy style, or Jake's super clean and melodic phrasings), so they can usually easily decide which fits the song/part best! it's funny that Misha has a solo on their first new single because he was the one saying he never wants to play a solo again after the last album

Herman your insights are spot on. Fans know the band always does their own thing and we love it. It's fun to join them for the ride. You must be told though... you gut punched us all with that break you timed right in the mid of Spencers ripping it up...

they've been releasing great albums over the years, always evolving. I love these guys, it's a pleasure to see what they've been up to

Periphery obviously has some serious work ethic...this song is fire for sure....loved the unexpected changes at the end...it actually reminded me of Ola Englund's solo album, where a sax comes in toward the end of a tune and is just beautiful...also Misha's solo seems an homage to a Fredrick Thorndall solo....loved that...I have tried to learn some meshuggah solos and my brain got fried...

I like your reactions because you actually have some idea of what is happening. Great stuff. Periphery is great also.

periphery always dabbles with the cool stuff like ghost notes every since icarus album always delivers

I think they totally fight for who doesn’t have to do the guitar solo. “Mark and Misha, it’s your song so you two figure out a guitar solo. I’ll do 8 bars max, if I have to”

I love Periphery and I'm so happy you gave your perspective as a fan but also as a musician (and one who knows the industry). I'm glad Periphery does what they want and that they're able to. And Wildfire is a jam! I do want to also say, and you mentioned it too, their composition/arrangements and overall penchant for getting what they want is incredible.

Love Periphery, one of the good guys for sure

It's good that you have been introduced in the modern metal/core/djent generes and It would be interesting that you could implement those new influences on Dragonforce's music. Mixing some of both worlds, the classic influence from power metal and the new kind of riffs, dissonances, breakdowns from modern things similar as you did in The Game.

That guitar solo was very Meshuggah like.

periphery mastodon meshuggah nuance is the game they all have progressive down to a science and all them have their own variety.

The thing about these guys, the three guitarists all bring a different style to the table. Adam and Matt are just monsters and add so much to the music. The style of the solo in that song reminded me of some of Meshugga's work on the album "Nothing".

Great song for sure. I'm digging it. Their other single they just released is fire also

Herman’s got an entire guitar center in his home studio. Absolute dream.

Up until the heavy 1:30 break it reminds me of Every Time I Die.

Music business is kinda like the devil.. hit the nail right on the head man. Keep rocking! 🤘🏻

This is what good music should make you feel. It should take you on a rollercoaster of emotions. Part of the reason I like Dragonforce and Periphery. They make you feel a certain type of way.

Hey Herman, are you also waiting for Starfield and TES6 to be released?

They knew wild fire would be the best banger of the year. And they released it in January.

If you’re interested in something more speedy, check out Perpetual Windburn by Haunted Shores. It’s a side project by Mark & Misha

Misha was -and is- a huge Meshuggah fan. Meshuggah has the title for the ‘djent originators’, However, Periphery has taken that torch (here and there) and ran to sagittarius A*. But I would like to say that Periphery helped popularize the sound of the ‘genre’. There is no question the impact Periphery has had -and still has- on ‘their’ genre. I always get inspired by listening to new stuff from Periphery, they are innovators and truly unique.

2:50 "the innovator of this subgenre of metal... it's not djent, it's something!" lol at this point anyone debating whether djent is a genre, including Periphery themselves, is just hung up on the etymology of the word, that it's an onomatopoeia of a palm muted power chord. but thanks to the way language evolves, onomatopoeias have and do serve as the names of genres. see: ska and beebop.

I felt like everything sandwiched between Periphery II and IV was just meh Clear, Alpha, Omega, III, IV, whatever else they might have written, I just forgot about it PI was so foundational that I can't blame them for mostly just having cool sections rather than coherent songs, but PII had always remained my most "complete" periphery album V seems like I might enjoy it though, sounds like an evenly balanced combination of every album they've released previously, not even in a bad way

To be honest it doesn't really seem like "new heights" this is just the same heights. Good song, but nothing different or groundbreaking.

It's not a genre!

The solo hasn't a single not on the scale, it's not that easy listening or something you'd play your first day. Where's the shitty strat one hundred twenty years before Bon Jovi?! Namastè.

Just sounds like a Dillinger cover band heavily ripping from Chaosphere era Meshuggah

I thought Djent died in 2015, Idk about anyone else.

The solo was great, super interesting. Don't really care much about the rest of the song though.
