I been all narrowminded and stupid about actually doing it for a while now because like so many I originally felt that the vocals just didnt cut it but after listening through the album I realise that I was just being a meat-head about it and now I cant get enough
Anyway I'n simply loving it and I just hope to catch Periphery live in a near future!

You're going to catch them in Marienhamn?

Seriously though, nice to see that other finns are getting a hang of it!

You coming to Norway, brah?

[Bigfan]

Yeah, us Bjorns (Top Gear) want to know. I'd definitely go.

Also, I'm proud to be a norvagina.

Hey, back off the Norwegians!

Misha, kind of a weird question, but did you make some of the posts from Saturday whilst on your laptop at the Palladium? If so I may have watched you type them

[AirJordanStaal]

I'm going to need you to come back to pittsburgh soonish, thanks, I messed my knee up and couldn't drive down for the show. I just watched icarus lives on youtube over and over and stared at the still photo. It wasn't the same.

Any chance of you guys coming to New Zealand? It would be cool, but then I would understand if you guys think their isn't the fanbase for a stop here, but I have told a bunch of my mates so could probably gaurantee 6 at least lol

Well they've been down to Australia (sadly I didn't know about them at that stage) So hopefully they return, and yeah, they might stop NZ

Seems like you guys are taking a complete 180 from your self titled release. If you were all about the band you wouldn't have released an instrumental then.

I hope you aren't forgetting most of your fans started by listening to your instrumental stuff like myself. Nuance and technicality are what got me into your grooves. Not saying vocals negate that, its just I think other vocalists were a better fit. I digress.

Just stating my opinion, release an instrumental album and you'll sell another record. Otherwise like you said, theres plenty of other bands out there I can shell my money out on.

[Cynic]

ITT: Pretentious.

[JDC]

As Periphery are playing Sonsiphere UK, if you find the Alestorm guys you must challenge them to a game of forky forky!!!

Do you want me to tell you why you are wrong in alphabetical order or by importance?
I'll just say that what you dislike and call a 180 is called progression.

We did the first one because a lot of people were introduced to us as an instrumental, and we thought for the hardcore fans who only ever knew us as an instrumental band, and for musicians who wanted to hear the instruments a bit better it could be cool, which is why we had it as a SUPPLEMENT, and because the test run did well we made it available on itunes as well.

We might do an instrumental of the next album or we might not, but if we do, it will once again be a limited release and be supplemental.

And honestly dude, you arent really a fan of our band, i have seen enough posts in this thread by you stating your perfectly valid opinion to know that.
With that said we really dont need your money (or anyone else who is shares your opinion on us), so using that as an argument will not sway our decision, save it up or spend it on a band you actually like. We write the music WE want to write for ourselves, and because of that im afraid you will never like us the way we are, and thats fine by me haha!

i've never really understood this behavior of trying to tell bands what to do.

there's always this battle with fans and artists over what the actual relationship between the two is. and technology these days making the distance between the artists and the fans closer than ever seems to really make some fans think they're literally part of the band.

but there reaches a point where you have to be clear that if you're a fan of the band, you're a fan of what THEY create. not of what they create as proxy for what you wanted to have created.

or you're just not a fan, and you can go elsewhere.

but you're not really a fan of the band if you're demanding they create the music you want created. because your music isn't the band's music.
and frankly in no way shape of form do they ever become YOUR band simply because you bought their music.

this may be a cold summation of the relationship, but at the end of the day they create and you consume.

or don't consume.

but you're not part of the creation.

so you kind of have 1 of 2 choices = accept what they're producing or move on.
whether it's debates over who Periphery's vocalist should be.
should they even have a vocalist.
whatever.

hell, if Periphery becomes a Taylor Swift tribute pop country band next album, you still have 2 choices = accept it or move on.

Pretty stoked for the show Friday. And I have a lesson with Jake again.
My life couldn't be better.
