Let them be who they are. From the first time I heard these guys, I for one thought these guys were the first fresh thing I'd heard in metal since I was a teenager, which is now a shamefully long time ago. Seriously folks, we got almost all the way through this decade without a single band from anywhere pushing anything that remotely resembled a 'new' sound. Meshuggah -- love them or hate them -- was one of the last. On the local or national level, 97% some-odd percent of metal bands are running around in circles trying absurdly hard to copy each other's sounds. Every vocalist is another one of the thousands of low pitched "bee-bee-bee-bee" guys, or high pitched "yah-yah-yah-yah" guys. If we're *really* lucky, we'll get a guy/gal who does both, but nothing else. Be still, my beating heart. If you don't like them, don't listen to them. It's as simple as that. Haters hate. Let them be who they are.

I wish more people were more open minded like you and didn't instantly assumed a band was "gay" because they have clean vocals or assume they're a meshuggah rip off because of poly rhythms. Periphery, keep on doing what you guys do. A very talented bunch they are. Benito, thank you.

Fact of the matter is that once you actually begin to understand it, and disect it, it is actually nothing like Meshuggah. It isn't bands that ruin good music, it's elitist attitudes and closed mindedness, so stop whining, and instead of writing music off on things you dislike, try listening for something in a piece of music that you DO like and love it for that.

Meshuggah happened to create a whole new genre of music, but i dont see you guys bashing thousands of thrash bands for sounding like Metallica? Or bands that sound like In Flames or Dark Tranquillity. End of the day when you guys manage to develop a huge fan base towards your music, i will listen to what you have to say. Until then keep quiet :) I would personally like to hear each one of you whiney bitches who say they are shit try to write a song like Periphery does, aside from being stupidly tight these guys hands down are creating some of the finest metal about at the moment.

The new guy doesn't even come close to the skill that Casey had. He's obviously trying to hard. He's not a bad singer, but I'm not too sure he's right for this band. BTW, he came from another band called Lamps Burning (which is worth checking out), that in my opinion suited him better. And there wasn't any whiny vocals there. He should've stayed there...at least they're a lil bit more original then the many Meshuggah copycats out there, including Periphery.

Just because they use poly rhythms they're automatically a meshuggah rip off? Wake the Fuck up, and stop hating on a band that deserves some fucking credit. go to soundclick.com and search for "Bulb", it's the guitarist's personal page. He's and extremely talented and dedicated guitarist, and if that isn't metal, then your head is up your ass. The number of internet hater’s absolutely blows my mind.

His sound has definitely developed over the past 5 years since the Oxisius, Soul Crush, Ntl days and it's good to see his band finally getting 'big'.
