    Periphery is such an S tier band in the scene! Wildly underrated, too.

    I like that the chorus in Wildfire follows a similar kind of sound/progression as the Jazz break. I love when repeat listens of a song help me to discover fun little details each time.

    I found this really cool. The chorus in Wildfire is a remagining of an old instrumental track from their album Juggernaut called The Event

    • @XAVR_
      @XAVR_ Год назад +6

      There's also two riffs in Zagreus from Four Lights, as well as lyrics repeated from Juggernaut songs in both songs (Kill them slow/kill me slowly, hell below, searching for something beyond...)

    Ahhhh these songs are so good! Periphery’s ability to get better with every record simply astounds me. The added jazz break in Wildfire and the cinematic orchestral stuff on Zagreus were such nice touches on songs that were already absolute bangers. Periphery V is for sure at the top of my most anticipated albums of the year now.

    Finally checking these out! Really loved Wildfire. The heaviness and the unpredictability was really cool! As you know, not a big fan of prog but Periphery is one of the main exceptions! Also really liked Zagreus and l did enjoy that cinematic outro!
    I actually remember your Periphery video way back and recommending you check out Reptile, which you did immediately and reported back that you loved it! It's still my favourite so far!

  • @LexiPixeL_

    So, on first listen, I wasn't crazy about either of these songs. I think I must've been in the wrong headspace or something because on revisiting them, I'm friggin blown away. Wildfire is definitely my favorite of the two, those vocal melodies are so.. unusual, but they work really well. Zagreus i liked a little less but i'm still super keen on it. I'm definitely going to be revisiting them a lot in the future.
    I feel like I'm at a damn party lol. Periph is probably my fave band, so I'm always stoked for a new release, even if the songs don't catch me at first, I end up loving em later. Question for the commenters here, which outros motifs do you think we'll be seeing elsewhere on the album? Or both?
    Great vid as always. I'm super stoked.

    I love the reference to the "four lights" off of alpha and omega in "zagreus" shit is so fire and such a nostalgic throwback part of the song, I think they're intentionally reusing melodies from older albums, shit gives me chills and such a good nostalgic feeling to these new tracks. Another absolute banger of an album is coming from the periphery bois again no doubt 😁

    So BOTH songs gave nods to Juggernaut; Wildfire used the main melody from The Event, while Zagreus used the melody from Four Lights, which of course is both instrumental songs on there. There are also a few lyrics they pay homage to/use from Juggernaut as well, so while you were right about Zagreus giving a nod to old stuff Wildfire did as well!

    I've been saying it for years, I love Periphery musically but, Spencer's vocals hold them back. Not that he isn't a good singer but, nothing he sings is interesting or catchy at all. Their first album was great but, that's because most of the lyrics and melodies were written by the other singers that were in the band before him. Nothing has compared since.
