I listened to Periphery. It sounded a bit too scene-kid/screamo for my tastes. I do like the band Textures though, also very polyrhythmic.

I guess we don't hear the same thing in it - Periphery doesn't have anything "screamo" or ""Hot Topic" in it - it's a superb progressive metal band utilizing the "djent" formula of (as you said) very polyrhythmic HEAVY metal.

the music itself I'm fine with. The singer sounds like he wants to be in Fall Out Boy though.

what's wrong with that? FoB are actually pretty damn good in my book. great lyrics, good music, solid hooks. everything a pop band should be. i have all their albums and play them regularly.

plus, their drummer and bassist came from the hardcore scene before FoB started (Kill The Slavemaster, Arma Angelus and Race Traitor). Drummer is actually touring with Earth Crisis and has a new hardcore project.

Apparently you, the one complaining about a band sounding too modern, knows way more about the "modern kid scene" than I do ... I never heard Fall Out Boy.

Guess that speaks volumes for your ability to criticize Periphery for not being "metal" enough, right?

I._don't_like_the_singer. Hope that's clear, since every other part of my statement is what you guys are taking issue with.
