We’re just barely getting over Periphery II in our weekly spins and the band are wasting no time at all in writing their next record! As we all know, Periphery have quite a back catalog of demos and ideas to elaborate on for future material. Spencer Sotelo is doing just that, demoing vocal ideas for a new song that is still on the drawing board. The preview of the track, above, features Sotelo doing a Jonathan Davis-like harsh skat (‘Freak on a Leash’ anyone?), which sounds incredibly well done. I’m sure I’m not the only one who hopes the skat stays; I love it when bands branch out and I’m sure Periphery would excel if they took more chances.
Perhaps we’ll hear the song in its entirety on their next record? It’ll be a year or two before we find out, but at any rate, I’m excited.

I hope they still plan to do that concept album… that would be IMMENSE.

I thought they were doing two albums in short succession, Periphery II and then Juggernaut (the concept album)?

They were going to but were offered a tour with Dream Theater so they didn’t have time. Juggernaut will most likely be Periphery III (if they decide to keep using the whole number thing)

I don’t know about that. A lot of the Juggernaut songs ended up on Periphery’s first album. I’m definitely still down for a concept album, especially if it sounds similar to this. I just hope they don’t re-hash old songs like Tesseract did.

Yeah, Misha said something to the affect of “When you get offered to tour with Dream Theater, you rearrange your schedule”.
