what's the deal with Periphery?

[RemoWilliams]

Looking at it from a guitar players standpoint I see what a lot of you mean about the instrumental versions, but listening to it as a WHOLE as just a person who enjoy music vs a musician I think the whole package was overall pretty damn good.

Ditto. Not having really been keeping up with the instrumental versions of the songs or any of the previous singers I guess I really had no attachment or expectations. Plus, falling out of any style of "serious" production aspects I didn't come at it with any kind of Axe Fx shenanigans or "djent" hate. So, I guess I came to it as a person listening to new music.

He rerecorded the walk with better heavy vox:

Its a definite improvement.

Edit: Or at least he did, doesnt seem to be there anymore.

Ewwww, All Seeing Eye on his page!
People need to be FAR more careful with the symbols they adorn themselves with.

 

[Ola Englund]

I'm not liking the album that much. Some songs are great but it just doesn't work for me. I get tired of listening to it to quick.

But everything Bulb lays hands on are tits!

 

[Arsenu,]

all in all,

KILL 'EM ALL is still the best album ever...

You know in some circles, the "all seeing eye" as you put it stands for enlightenment and emphasis on thought and knowledge.

 

[GarethSE]

Yes, I'm aware of that. But nobody looks at the Swastika and sees a sacred symbol, they see Nazism.
It seems all the people I know who are aware of this particular symbol understand that is also a symbol for enlightenment, but how it is generally used in this day and age is quite a bit more sinister, and thus you need to tread carefully.

But it's just a picture?

 

[Harry Hughes]

But it's just a picture?

Yes and his point is so a Swastika.
But it's symbolic, and it can be interpreted in a number of different ways, as can the All Seeing Eye.

 

[Seth Munson]

I think if Periphery had only clean singing I would dig them more

Well... er a Swastika and a Jaina Cross are two different things dude. They may look similar, but there are differences. That is why people don't see a sacred symbol when they look at a Swastika (could also make the argument that some people do in fact see a sacred symbol, but lets avoid that debate)

...

The all seeing eye as you call it... well... I don't buy in to that whole illuminati bullshit anyway, so to me it's a pretty picture to inspire thought and the attainment of knowledge. Nothing sinister about it... unless you're a 911 tr000fer that see's dark hands in every facet of life.

 

[BrettT]

I just wish the singer would shut the fuck up sometimes and let the music breathe.

 

[Josh Burgess]

The music itself is a hell of a lot better than the production/mix.

 

[GarethSE]

I don't see dark hands in every facet, just dark hands in a fair few, and the eye of providence is a symbol that represents the dark hands I *PERSONALLY* believe are at play in a few of those facets.

The comment was intended as nothing more than being just a passing statement. Wasn't trying to start off some massive illuminati discussion or something to that extent.

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

DAMN ILLUMINATUS CUNTS, EVERY ONE OF 'EM

 

[guitarguru777]

Gareth i love you man but go shove your conspiracy theory illuminatus BS up you ass....lol

The All seeing eye is an eastern medicine thing. Its ALWAYS stood for enlightenment. It was around long before this illuminati bullshit. Worry about where the symbol came from not who adopted it for their own retarded fucking reasons.

Its like saying Ozzy is a hardcore Christian cause he has crosses on 90% of his album covers.

Get the fuck over it.

 

[P-E]

Best Periphery stuff is definitely the older demoes with Jake Veredika. AMAZING stuff.
