Heard this already, I liked it a lot.

Spencer sounds A LOT better then on Periphery's self titled.

Ok, I really expected that to be an awful but that cover was fucking great. Spencer sounds quite like Corey and if he sounds like that on the new album then I'm looking forward to it.

I was blown away by how good can Spencer imitate Corey's voice. Even though it's a solid cover, and song by itself, I got past that period in my life when I thought Slipknot sounded hardcore and interesting. So....Periphery, why?

Don't care for this song any more, but holy shitfuck I can't believe how well Spencer imitates Corey's vocals. I didn't even know that kind of a scream was within his current range. Sounds good, makes me look forward to hearing him on the new album even more.

Isn't bad at all, but as other users have said you may as well listen to the original... since they haven't put a spin on it at all.

might be better than the original. The guitar just has a bit more crunch. Although overall it does
play it a bit safely

This is pretty cool. It's not really officially "Periphery", which I think kind of makes this better. It's just them having some fun.

Misha, Spencer, and Matt: Lol we're bored - And we're tired - we just got off tour with DT! And we're in the studio at 3am. What should we do??

Misha: - Let's do a funny cover

Matt: Let's cover something ridiculous

Spencer: Let's cover Slipknot!

Misha & Matt: ............

Misha, Matt, and Spencer: Lol okay.


*2 DAYS LATER*

Periphery Fan Type 1: "They covered Slipknot? song effin sucks, Slipknot sucks. But Spencer's vox are cool he should sing like that on the new album! Rooooar haha"

Periphery Fan Type 2: "I used to like Periphery before they had their new singer. Realistically, I liked Periphery before their so-called genre became irritatingly shatty and famous and due to the new-wave of progressive Periphertrolling, I stop liking the band as soon as it becomes uncool to like them on internet forums. I am irrelevant and take up space to express myself, lol but I don't admit this to myself! All the thoughts in my brain are already posted by other prominent forum critics"

Periphery Fan Type 3: *Doesn't say anything and has been following Periphery since '06 7-string forums/soundclick/myspace. Is pissed that band has inherited an incredibly shatty American fan-base due to their record label affiliations and can't wait for the new album to come out so that as a fan, they can finally put 6 years of dedicated waste to rest; OR, if the new album is awesome, they can continue to be a closet fan while the brainless djentopian-meathead association dies away. Is slightly pretentious and knows this, but prefers to keep this to themselves*

Periphery Fan #4: "PERIPHERY + SLIPKNOT + MY FAVORITE 2 BANDS! THIS COVER SHOULD BE ON THE NEW ALBUM PRONTO!"

Other non-Fan #5: Tesseract, but fack shat and die Elliot.

Other non-Fan #6: Daniel Ädel and Vilhelm Bladin are kvlt.




Misha, Matt, and Spencer: wtf what did we do?

Misha Matt, and Spencer: ..............
