27:20 Periphery fans HAVE to understand this and stop commenting "P1 was better" "go back to your roots" "make music that we want" Nothing is more fucking annoying than a whiny fan base who can't evolve with the band they claim to love. I will always be a Peripheral for the rest of my life, simply because of their strong musicianship, professionalism, and knowledge of the industry, gear, and theory. I mean, how many other bands offer long-ass meet and greets, clinics, masterclasses, live Q&A's, lighting and sound lessons, a week long music camp dedicated to teaching and building relationships, online tutorials and sample libraries, as well as downloadable stems from some albums? THAT is what makes this band so great. The music is just one part.
As a musician I can understand both sides of thinking, I totally get why the guys of Periphery don't want to write P I (Or II) two times over, even if that really is the best album that the band has written so far in the end it just feels like copying what you're already done, and leaves no space to upping your game. On the other side of things, I totally get too when a band releases a new album and it just plain sucks, it doesn't have the power or emotion/feel that the previous album had (see BMTH's That's the Spirit or Periphery's Juggernaut Alpha/Omega), it doesn't have the emotional impact that the previous album had and you get frustrated, it's really hard just to accept that one of your favourite bands just wanted to "top their game" and "evolve" even though their newest album just sucks and leaves you unsatisfied. That is the point where "we just wanted to top our game to the next level" isn't going to cut it.
It's not even about topping their game, it's about writing music they're happy with. I consider that to be a musician's job, and I can't understand people who begrudge musicians for expressing themselves creatively, seeing as that's what they did to create the music that impacted them so much in the first place.
If they made p1 5 times id understand but every record is vastly different so i feel like with each record they're going to gain and lose listeners... idk that's just my opinion tho.

about his parents money, somewhere i watched a interview with misha, he cleaerly said he got a large sum of money from his barmistva, as he is jewish, and i heard those celebrations are quite large. doesnt matter either way, would you wish periphery never existed? hahaha fuck it im just jealous!!

how do you add the "director" tag in the video description above "category " ? i have two other channels and i would like to put my name as a director on my other channel. plz haaalp.
Not only do they record the guitars, drums and vocals at very separate locations, but Misha uses Cubase, Spencer uses ProTools and Nolly uses Logic... and it all comes together seamlessly. I think it's awesome!
only 5 min spencer drinking alone in a dark room... thats one of your best cds, but spencer deserves more , he is brilliant on that record. all of you are
What I love about Periphery's music is that they can get really deep and hard core in some parts of their album and then really bright and melodic in others. Very diverse.
At 27:20 when Misha talks about creating music not for the fans, but for their own happiness, and the pleasure he gets when a part "comes together and WOW", i was totally thinking about Misha's Marigold arpeggio outro. Magical moment.
There's nothing cooler than seeing how much fun you guys are having. Album rocks. End of story. Tour will kick ass. End of story. Now bring it over to Europe...End of story!
I'm so glad that it shows that even though Matt Halpern is a really talented drummer, he still has to jump the same hurdles any other drummer would. inspirational.
I love the fact that these guys are so open about money and the issue of little to no pay in the metal scene. I really respect them for doing it for the love of music. These guys deserve all the success they have!
Poor Spencer. Everyone's living together, working on music and being best buds- He's alone in a shit-hole vocal recording room, drinking himself into early cirrhosis.
John Arnold He was born and lived in San Diego. It says in the video he's in Maryland recording. Either due to closeness to the band, his girlfriend, his job, or all of the above. Can't say though.
This video made me love Periphery so much more. I love how passionate these guys are about their music and how personal it is for them. I know it's like that for any band, but to see the journey and hear how they're dealing with the process; how important it is that they're expressing themselves with their writing rather than trying to please other people, I love it.
Watched this over and over and over, never gets boring at all. I just love watching the process of a bunch of fun, creative, passionate people creating top notch stuffs.
I love that you guys openly speak about the less sexy side of the musician lifestyle. "If we were in it for the money we would be a bunch of idiots". I also love that you guys pretty much engineered and recorded the album yourselves. That's a very cool thing. Thank you for the inside look into your world.
Periphery as a band is as pro as a good metal band can get. I hope you guys make music for years to come so that my kids too can enjoy your sounds and learn from your music.
i don’t understand how you could say a single bad thing about periphery. they are some of the most talented, genuine dudes that have ever played metal. i understand their music may not be for everyone but you can’t say they don’t put everything they have into every piece of music.
These guys all look like they'd be so fun to hang out with. The pranks they play on each other, the way they tease each other. One of my favorite things Misha does is when he composes little tunes and provides a commentary. The solar system riff, the "Mutual One" jingle, the inspirational speech - his musical sense of humor just really hits me in my funny bone!
I just got in to Periphery over the past couple of weeks after discovering them on the metalcore reddit page. I believe it was a post for Lune, which I listened to and REALLY fucking loved, and then I saw the bass playthrough that Nolly did for Prayer Position. I couldn't believe my ears and my eyes watching that, everything about it was just amazing. Checked out a few more songs on RUclips and I was absolutely sold. It's a god damn shame a group like this isn't more widely known outside of their fanbase and metalcore in general.
I'm flying all the way from Ohio to see you guys in March. You're the only band I listen to regularly that I haven't seen. This must change. P3 was a masterpiece in my opinion and I'm very excited for P4. This is such a great documentary.
I love this band so fucking much. So much hate on Spencer though? I hate to say it but he's the main reason I listen to Periphery....but I do like their instrumentals
Same here, im a guitarist myself and i love everything musically about periphery (Yes including the bass, Nolly knows how to make a groove) but i mostly listen to Periphery because of his vocals.
Thank you for saying that. People seem to hate on Spencer because they're stuck back in the days of Periphery 1 when the music was so hectic and complicated and was actually originally written without vocals in mind. People need to grow up and realize that this is the direction Periphery wants to go in and they can either enjoy it or stop listening to them.
Ronald Mick That may be true. :) I dont listen to Periphery for emotions tbh. I listen to them when I want to listen to something over the top. They're really fun, but I am not always in that mood.
This is the 10th time I've seen this ( prob more .. ) and I still laugh at the same jokes , get emotional at the same times , and just admire them at all times ... can't wait for P4 to come out and I'm really hoping that they do something like this again
Why is nobody talking about spencer just drinking wine straight out the bottle and eating a cheeseburger during his vocal sessions 💀💀💀 im fucking dead its so funny just to watch
I heard his mom said he looked cute in one, and she just gave him a shit ton. And he spends so much money on drums and wheels of cheese, that he doesn't have any left for normal v-necks. That's the way the news goes, anyway...
That part about a 3rd through when they were in matts house is definitely my favourite part, because even all three guitarists and nolly are all involved in matts playing and equipment, it's so nice to see a band that all members are involved in all things
Wow! Matt really stepped it up for this record. He challenged himself to learn new ways of doing things in order to give the new songs EXACTLY what they needed, where he could have just played it safe by sticking to tried and true "old" techniques that he already had incorporated into his drumming. Kudos to Matt for NOT taking this easy way out! On the record he NAILS these new techniques and it fits the new songs PERFECTLY, but in these recorded rehearsals he is still not quite there yet. It's awesomely honest and brave of him to allow us to see the work and the struggle of the process "up close" like this. How it doesn't necessarily sound good at all in the beginning of trying new stuff. We get to see how these people behind this amazing almost "superhuman" music, are indeed very human and hard working, dedicated musicians. It always takes a while to master a new approach - but in order to keep evolving as a musician, this ordeal is something you have to push through, time and time again during your career - in order not to stagnate. And in the end, the record sounds amazing, fresh and exciting BECAUSE of the work Matt (and all the guys) put in. Great album!!! Thanks!
this is hands-down the best periphery album ever made on the face of the Earth. I listen to the album front to back everytime I'm in the gym blasting my ears out. I love you periphery. keep doing what you guys are doing and create mesmerizing things you guys are awesome
i would suck at Mark's riffs. the way he holds the neck is greatly different from the way i hold the neck. he is a killer guitarist and i like his style, i just hold the neck similar to Misha. it's funny how something like that determines the types of riffs you write. great documentary guys, you should do one for each album.
I hadn't watched this until recently and I just want to say as a guitarist/shitty musician that this is incredible guys. I watched this with my drummer and seeing how you guys craft your music is amazing. The fact that you write for yourselves and that the "Periphery" sound bleeds out in the process is so inspiring and motivating when I'm swearing at myself at 2am re-recording a part over and over. Writing for yourself is a message I think I lost but this video/your music will now forever serve as a constant reminder. Can't wait to see you guys in PGH.
Re-watching all these album docs. You guys are so fortunate to have these kinds of opportunities to not only hang out in-person but at the same time all collaborate on something creative. That kind of thing is so special and so rare and I'm glad you're able to document it and share it with people so we can all at least get some second-hand vibes.
Thank you for the overwhelming response on the documentary, guys! Big thanks to Jeff for doing such an incredible job.
great video
jeff is the beast!! sick video!!

Joshua Edward Weaver I have one, it’s as good as you’d imagine
Man these guys bring punching in to a new level. Recording everything 5 seconds at a time.
29:25 Has to be the funniest part of this documentary
lol, that or the inspirational speech at 33:26
52:40 - 53:00 funniest part, hands down
seriously, when misha and mark are watching mark eat. I friggin daid lol
also zamkowicz that part just about killed me
What was the solar system bit about, was that from a commercial
This is the 10th time I've seen this ( prob more .. ) and I still laugh at the same jokes , get emotional at the same times , and just admire them at all times ... can't wait for P4 to come out and I'm really hoping that they do something like this again
Well how do you like it man?
One of the greatest albums ever!!
Why is nobody talking about spencer just drinking wine straight out the bottle and eating a cheeseburger during his vocal sessions 💀💀💀 im fucking dead its so funny just to watch
Ikr, badass really
I rewatch this video every single month, can't wait for the new Periphery album release!
Perfection.
Where does Matt even find V-necks that aggressive?
I heard his mom said he looked cute in one, and she just gave him a shit ton. And he spends so much money on drums and wheels of cheese, that he doesn't have any left for normal v-necks. That's the way the news goes, anyway...
Blake Yeo he actually has his own brand of v necks
They didn't exist so he made his own
Jake Jamison dude 😉😍
22:50: You can hear Bon Iver - Holocene in the background! As if there weren't enough reasons to love these guys!
One of the best bands of our time. Something truley great to behold.
Love love seeing the recording process and seeing the work that goes into making a record.
Really, fucking props to Jeff. This shit was amazing.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen. Thanks for releasing this on YT guys!
Jake writes the happiest sounding riffs
That part about a 3rd through when they were in matts house is definitely my favourite part, because even all three guitarists and nolly are all involved in matts playing and equipment, it's so nice to see a band that all members are involved in all things
Wow! Matt really stepped it up for this record. He challenged himself to learn new ways of doing things in order to give the new songs EXACTLY what they needed, where he could have just played it safe by sticking to tried and true "old" techniques that he already had incorporated into his drumming. Kudos to Matt for NOT taking this easy way out!
On the record he NAILS these new techniques and it fits the new songs PERFECTLY, but in these recorded rehearsals he is still not quite there yet. It's awesomely honest and brave of him to allow us to see the work and the struggle of the process "up close" like this. How it doesn't necessarily sound good at all in the beginning of trying new stuff. We get to see how these people behind this amazing almost "superhuman" music, are indeed very human and hard working, dedicated musicians.
It always takes a while to master a new approach - but in order to keep evolving as a musician, this ordeal is something you have to push through, time and time again during your career - in order not to stagnate.
And in the end, the record sounds amazing, fresh and exciting BECAUSE of the work Matt (and all the guys) put in.
Great album!!! Thanks!
this is hands-down the best periphery album ever made on the face of the Earth. I listen to the album front to back everytime I'm in the gym blasting my ears out. I love you periphery. keep doing what you guys are doing and create mesmerizing things you guys are awesome
YUP
Periphery IV is awesome as well
Playing in this band is basically like being a mathematician
i would suck at Mark's riffs. the way he holds the neck is greatly different from the way i hold the neck. he is a killer guitarist and i like his style, i just hold the neck similar to Misha. it's funny how something like that determines the types of riffs you write. great documentary guys, you should do one for each album.
You can't buy feel
I hadn't watched this until recently and I just want to say as a guitarist/shitty musician that this is incredible guys. I watched this with my drummer and seeing how you guys craft your music is amazing. The fact that you write for yourselves and that the "Periphery" sound bleeds out in the process is so inspiring and motivating when I'm swearing at myself at 2am re-recording a part over and over. Writing for yourself is a message I think I lost but this video/your music will now forever serve as a constant reminder. Can't wait to see you guys in PGH.
I love that the drums were tracked in the UK. Mr Halpern, you are my new drumming hero.
definitely thought that coffee grinder at 43:47 was a scream lol
Perfect time to watch Remain Indoors as i remain indoors
surprised not to see any "remain indoors" comments as of late march 2020
Re-watching all these album docs. You guys are so fortunate to have these kinds of opportunities to not only hang out in-person but at the same time all collaborate on something creative. That kind of thing is so special and so rare and I'm glad you're able to document it and share it with people so we can all at least get some second-hand vibes.
I'm glad they incorporated Absolomb into this album. Spencer really did a good vocal job on that piece. Good stuff.
Amazing. So bummed it had to end.
Wow this is so cool. Thanks for letting us fans be in the "studio" with you! I wish I would have gotten into recording much earlier in my life.
That bass tone is soooo T H I C C
I Love seeing Nolly playing Guitar, this Album is writing and productions wise a Masterpiece, still my favorite Album
I've watched this like ten times. One of my favorite movies of the 21st century so far.
