This entire band is ridiculously talented.. I cant wait for the Album. Between the drummers, Travis and Matt have different styles and bring different vibes to the music - personal expression of the music - and both equally good in their own right. To sum up: Periphery OWNS =p
I love Periphery! My new favorite band! :D And I think their new singer does a perfect job in all the songs! I haven't heard their old singer enough to compare the two, but I like the vocals as they are on the album, and I'm impatiently looking forward to their next release! ^^ Hopefully I'll be able to catch them live some time! ^^
I love how he screams the last chorus. I'm not sure if he planned it or had to because his voice was giving out, but it was cool as hell! I really like Chris as a singer and frontman.
i got a shiver down my whole body at 2:28.... and again at 4:43... it was even more amazing seeing them live.... i could've shit myself and be proud of that steamer rolling down my leg...
@Laihoistheman no, the cymbal setup is different and so are the toms between the bass drums. not sure if orbin even uses two bass drums or just double pedals.
maybe it's only my opinion, but Chris can't be replaced. His voice is not as good as Spencer's but his screams are the best in today's music industry. And he's so charismatic. Fucking brilliant guy.
@jacksonguitarsrule1 He does that in all the parts when he's not playing, its to keep the band in time with the backing track (coming through the monitors and matt's in-ears :)
@theroan they might not be doing backflips and stuff, but from a musical stand point it's great. they amount of technique required to play this is really intense.
@ozuka16 I 'unno. It could just be an improvisation to get the crowd pumped or something. It doesn't sound like anything I've heard from Bulb's Soundclick or anything (example: 'Ringtone').
Okay heres my 2 cents. all this crap about whos better between chris and spencer, and matt and travis is stupid. in my opinion if periphery picks you as their vocalist and sticks with you and is able to record a full album with you, youre damn good. Props to Spencer. And if you are a drummer and can keep up with Periphery's music, AND can improv your live performance, you fuckin win. Props to Matt. lol
actually, there's (few) live videos of casey, but the ones i've seen he goes down instead of trying to hit that note. ;) baretto is a fantastic vocalist. when i talked to travis orbin at the SEA show here, he had very high opinions of him. apparently brings his music books and actually practices his vocals, which is rare. good videos dude thanks a lot! and alex is the best thing ever on stage, holy shit that guy never stops rocking.
chris is an amazing singer. unbelievable, in fact. which makes me think the reason for not keeping him around is more one-dimensional than you all may think when you ask for him back. there's definitely a good fucking reason.
ONLY thing I wish periphery could do(and possibly could do in the future) live are the vocal harmonies that are in the recordings, "Before they saw what i was becoming" etc etc
"And when I said I'll never feel again, what I really ment was fucking pull the cause time is spent" Fuck I envy Chris screaming that.. would've been the utterly most epic moment of my life.
@jacksonguitarsrule1 He play the cymbals there because because he's the drummer and he has to keep the time, unless all of them had in ear monitors connected to metronomes, he has to continue doing that.
This the future calling on to you! All what you mentioned (except for Mr. Person) are on the album. Frak the Gods will appear on a latter EP release. your predictions came 80 % True!
on a contradictory note to my other comment, i noticed that the new drummer forgos alot of travis orbins kick "burst" fills in the end of icarus lives. i definitely miss that.
I was actually skeptical at first whether or not Chris would be able to do Icarus Lives Casey style. He did fucking excellent! So I must say I'm glad Chris can pull it off. Now lets talk business. We all have our hopes up for certain songs on Periphery's debut album. Here are mine: Light Icarus Lives Zyglorx The Walk Frak the Gods Mr. Person Jetpacks Was Yes! the rest can be a surprise :P
@MattixIcexBaby YES! Thank god someone speaks the truth about Spencer, i've got nothing against Chris and he did a good job... but Spencer rocks, the Periphery album has some of the best vocals i've ever heard :D
next time ill use a stronger sedative...
hello mister periphery!
the sounds Matt makes on such a small kit are just so fuckin' heavy. clearly one of the most creative and talented drummers out there.
damn they are going to be an amazing band in a few years. you can tell they're still new though. can't wait for their CD.
And here we are now. One of my favevorite bands out there

This entire band is ridiculously talented.. I cant wait for the Album.

Band calls Monuments, and its sounds realy fuckin good, I was realy amazed to hear how Chris singin alive their songs
@SirVonRuch wow, that was well put, i feel the same way.
chris all day for me
@Laihoistheman the drumkit in the background is from the drummer of devildriver ( the headlining band in that tour )
@snorelaxascension oh..well i just started to listen to this band and wasn't sure. Thanks for letting me know
Really killer band !
I can't enough of Chris' voice! It's amazing!! =D
what a kick ass drummer there! kudos to his simple kit as well!
odie0220 has the best periphery vids from way back in the day...........
I REALLY hope the thing that they play for their intro is included on the album.
I'm betting this might just be the best album I'm ever going to buy.
thank u man im soo glad Icarus lives is goin to be on it i was afraid it wasnt D:
They have really great stage presence too
heck yes. i played there.
i got a shiver down my whole body at 2:28.... and again at 4:43... it was even more amazing seeing them live.... i could've shit myself and be proud of that steamer rolling down my leg...
Can't wait for peripherys first album :D
saw them last night, it was fucking amazing
@Laihoistheman no, the cymbal setup is different and so are the toms between the bass drums. not sure if orbin even uses two bass drums or just double pedals.
@spitzndribble Liquid metal...Siriusxm, they have been playing Icarus lives for awhile now...
awesome videos man, thanks for uploading these
New Groove
maybe it's only my opinion, but Chris can't be replaced. His voice is not as good as Spencer's but his screams are the best in today's music industry. And he's so charismatic. Fucking brilliant guy.
@jacksonguitarsrule1 He does that in all the parts when he's not playing, its to keep the band in time with the backing track (coming through the monitors and matt's in-ears :)
lol im directly under where you filmed this GREAT set this was my first time hearing these guys period. Love the unqiue sound
@theroan they might not be doing backflips and stuff, but from a musical stand point it's great. they amount of technique required to play this is really intense.
"The only man who can break three cymbals with one swing of the stick!"
@ozuka16 I 'unno. It could just be an improvisation to get the crowd pumped or something. It doesn't sound like anything I've heard from Bulb's Soundclick or anything (example: 'Ringtone').
@tony07v hell yea this drummer is blowing my mind
At 3:12, Matt pretty much permanently melted my face.
@mlceltic you're kidding! Look at them headbanging! They've got good stage presence man
Didn't realise that Ever Forthright's vocalist used to be in Periphery. Cool!
this band fucking owns i can't believe they exist
i agree with ethan!! he's not fussy over his drum set ups,simple but still kickass!
yes they have 3
he also uses kits that small in recording, too. he just has a rack tom and sometimes a china added.
Okay heres my 2 cents. all this crap about whos better between chris and spencer, and matt and travis is stupid. in my opinion if periphery picks you as their vocalist and sticks with you and is able to record a full album with you, youre damn good. Props to Spencer. And if you are a drummer and can keep up with Periphery's music, AND can improv your live performance, you fuckin win. Props to Matt. lol
i came from the future to say that chris still has the best vocals in the genre
I too come from the future, its 2021 and the world is basically over but periphery is still around lol
hell yeah man, halpern is a beast
actually, there's (few) live videos of casey, but the ones i've seen he goes down instead of trying to hit that note. ;)
baretto is a fantastic vocalist. when i talked to travis orbin at the SEA show here, he had very high opinions of him. apparently brings his music books and actually practices his vocals, which is rare.
good videos dude thanks a lot!
and alex is the best thing ever on stage, holy shit that guy never stops rocking.
chris is an amazing singer. unbelievable, in fact. which makes me think the reason for not keeping him around is more one-dimensional than you all may think when you ask for him back. there's definitely a good fucking reason.

8:24 - the end: i can totally see Misha going like "Matt you're supposed to be playing a normal patter.....MATT, WAT R U DOING! MATT, STAHP!!"
@bugfuqr I totally agree with you.
@Val0n SAME HERE!! :D
on a contradictory note to my other comment, i noticed that the new drummer forgos alot of travis orbins kick "burst" fills in the end of icarus lives. i definitely miss that.
This might be my favourite Halpern performance
I saw him in Dallas last year around this time and it was just as amazing!
it is now officially old groove.
wow
most fucking awesome intro. ever.
nice...i noticed he has a really simple kit but he does a lot with it
I was actually skeptical at first whether or not Chris would be able to do Icarus Lives Casey style. He did fucking excellent! So I must say I'm glad Chris can pull it off.
Now lets talk business. We all have our hopes up for certain songs on Periphery's debut album. Here are mine:
Light
Icarus Lives
Zyglorx
The Walk
Frak the Gods
Mr. Person
Jetpacks Was Yes!
the rest can be a surprise :P
@MattixIcexBaby YES! Thank god someone speaks the truth about Spencer, i've got nothing against Chris and he did a good job... but Spencer rocks, the Periphery album has some of the best vocals i've ever heard :D
Epic intro. I never thought anyone could beat After The Burial's - Introduction to Destruction or whatever they call it..But this shit is amazing!
I like how he calls this "upstate" NY.
@Ypnovatis ya, bro, i got that shit down mayn. i know dat feel.
@Forrester Really?! Thanks for pointing that out for me! :)
Finally a metal singer with an Afro :D
it sad we almost don't see Bulb in the entire video
i agree
@TriviumSamurai
I think thats actually Chris Barretto. Sotelo became their singer on 1/20/10 according to Wikipedia, this video is from 8/12/09
God; this is a fuckin WIN!!!
@FootballnSoccer
that too
@Bruins8130 Yea, dont get me wrong Orbin is a FANTASTIC drummer, but im more about the "free flow" of things. Matt is a brilliant drummer.
For real. 5 years? Wow.. Your badass dude. You can probably totally rock some disturbed songs. ...haha.
Chris fucking baretto rules!
bulb has so many songs on soundclick and has all the time in the world to write shit, he has his own recording studio and equiptment. its amazing
@mastagfba Actually tbh, now i've heard the record, i think Spencer sounds pretty awesome or atleast better than expected
agreed
damn that drummer truly owns it
