Periphery IV: Hail Stan

Vinyl LP pressing, Periphery represents the vanguard of addictive, chaotic, challenging and cathartically inviting heavy music for the modern era. The band's triple-guitar attack and rhythmic dexterity has won them devoted adherents across underground subcultures, regardless of whether those fans were weaned on the passion-fueled sounds of the Vans Warped Tour or the progressive rock of Rush. Periphery IV: Hail Stan, the group's fifth album and follow-up to 2017's Grammy nominated Periphery III: Select Difficulty, marks two significant firsts: the first Periphery release on their recently formed label, 3DOT Recordings, as well as a change in the way they approached writing and recording. "We finally spent a year on a record, explains guitar player/programmer Jake Bowen. "We've never been able to do that. The quality and pacing of the work show we took our time with this one. That's an important note about this. We really got to do everything we wanted to do in the space we had to do it." Mark Holcomb adds, "I think you can hear the adventurous intent behind much of this material as a result. We're all the happiest we've ever been with a release, and it's no coincidence. Can't wait for you all to hear it."
