The Summer Slaughter Tour 2013 Line-Up Announced

We’re admittedly fashionably late on this one but we’d never disregard posting about the most extreme tour of the year. The popular Summer Slaughter Tour is back for its eighth year (seventh consecutively), and the participating bands have been announced.

The Summer Slaughter Tour 13 will be headlined by none other than recent Sumerian Records signees and longtime mathcore gods, The Dillinger Escape Plan, with support from other beloved metal outfits such as Animals As Leaders, Norma Jean, Periphery and animal lovers, Cattle Decapitation. Dates have yet to be announced but we’ll certainly be taking Kid Rock’s advice to …

MUSIC VIDEO: Periphery – “Scarlet”

There is legitimately no better way to start any day than with a little rock and roll.

After weeks of promotion, Periphery have finally released the official music video for their latest single, “Scarlet.” The visuals take fans on an intergalactic journey to a spaceship that finds itself divided between factions of red and yellow soldiers, all portrayed by members of Periphery. Their battle has reached new heights, and it seems yellow may have won, but the latter half of the clip reveals there is more to the story. You can view video below.

Periphery Added To Deftones US Tour

As of last night, Periphery have been included on what could be considered the band’s latest and greatest opportunity yet: opening for Deftones on the band’s Spring headlining tour of the US.

Periphery released Periphery II: This Time It’s Personal, their widely acclaimed second album back in July of 2012, and Deftones are just now touring in support of Koi No Yokan, their most recent album that made its way onto many best of 2012 lists, including ours.

REVIEW: Periphery – Periphery II: This Time It’s Personal

Artist: Periphery
Album: Periphery II: This Time It’s Personal
Genre: Progressive Metal
Label: Sumerian

Periphery II clocks in at whopping 70 minutes, and perfectly uses every single one of those seconds to wow both fans and naysayers alike. Fully embracing the many genres that could be used to describe the band’s music, Periphery has ambitiously crafted an album that could impress an audience of any kind. Fueled and powered by multi-layered assault of guitars that use only the thickest of strings, along with a live-orchestra, this record is already among my favorite technically-minded albums of 2012.

Prog-metal outfit, Periphery have released their new music video for their single, “Make Total Destroy” and, oh man, is it pretty freakin’ great.

“Make Total Destroy” comes off of Periphery’s sophomore album, Periphery II, which was released last week via Sumerian Records. It is the group’s first album featuring live drums and orchestral elements. It is also the first album to feature new members Mark Holcomb (guitar) and Adam …

STREAM: Periphery – Scarlet

Well, ladies and djentleman, your favorite prog-metal band have released a new track from their upcoming full-length, Periphery II: This Time It’s Personal. The song is called “Scarlet” and if you’re a fan, you’ll probably dig it. I feel like I’m the only metal fan in the world that gets nothing from this band. The vocals kill me in the worst way, and as far as the style, I’d turn to Animals As Leaders or Beheading of A King before I took the Periphery route.

The new album featuring guest appearances from John Petrucci (Dream Theater), Guthrie Govan (The …
