Bro, KILL, I know we have our disagreements, but the fact that you're talking about Gretchen on a Periphery thread makes me love you more than I ever did.

That right there is what i'm talkin' about. Let's all just love eachother, everywhere you turn looooove.

Dont ask Koffiiing. The answer you'll get is,

"all they have is just 'bow-nuh bow-duh-da-dow we-donna-wow-nee-nah"



Or something very similar.

elements of prog doesn't make them a full on progressive metal band. They have way to many djent/metalcore tendencies to immediately be under the prog tag. I'm not denying they have some progressive in em but not full-fledged.

i mean really
i know sputniks always been a metal archives-esque circlejerk when it comes to genres but

A. Prog isnt 'defined' in any way, pretty much any pioneer has said that and

B. this album has characteristics representative of other prog bands
-unconventional song structures
-inconsistent length
-varying levels of technicality
-unusual time signatures
-complicated/poetic lyrical themes
-guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, synth etc etc

edit:with not a single breakdown in sight how is this metalcore

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

I would actually agree to that. There are prog elements, but not full on prog.



But I would also say they aren't full on metalcore, or full on djent...even though I hate subgenre's. They are a mix of a lot of stuff.

I agree with SirDrumsalot. If we are throwing tags around, they're not full anything, they're just a really techy metal band with lots of djent, and some metalcore and prog.

Isn't tech-metal a subset of prog?

Album Rating: 4.0

Well yeah right, i guess i was telling prog and tech apart. Hey honestly, i really feel like Periphery are tech/prog wtv for the most part. Not the prog one might be used to call prog, but they still fit under the tag for numerous reasons so yeah.

I think that songs like Racecar are quite clearly prog. Kofiiing's definition is pretty spot-on and Periphery falls into it even quite comfortably.
