Album: Juggernaut Omega

Nothing's more fun that some really grooving music, which is something that Periphery is more than a little good at. Since about 2005 these guys have been rocking the Djent community with their chugging grooves.
I'm partially regretting picking these guys since I honestly don't know too much about them, but what I do know is that they're good, so we're gonna go with that today.
I unfortunately have only managed to listen to this album by Periphery. They're an amazing band, but for some reason I can't manage to find the time, they're a little too smart for me.
Not like lyrically though, they're just rather involved musically. Their use of time signatures and tempos are rather intimidating to listen to when all you want is some simple music to pass time with. I tend to not want that in my leisure time, but once I find the songs I like they are added to the list of familiar enough to enjoy.
I feel like this is a very disjointed post and for that I apologize, it's been an off day at the point of writing this.
This album is a pretty cool concept. Each track was written by a different member of the band, thus lending each track a rather different sound than the others.
This track was written by one of the guitarists, so as you'd expect there's a slightly larger amount of guitar compared to other songs. It's actually straight up instrumental.

Sorry guys, I'll get caught back up soon. Once all religious holidays are done for a bit.

I feel like I usually have a lot of issues going from one musically extreme to another. Like, I try to cut out some of the Rap and I switch to solid Death Metal for a week, or something like that. I also always promise to try not to switch extremes. Well you know what? I'm actually gonna do that this time. We're gonna have a good few days of "normal" music.
I'm on a kick of music that I just said I wouldn't post for a little bit though, but we are gonna actually have variety, I promise, haha.
One thing that Periphery is known for is having a singer that sounds like Katy Perry when he hit's his high notes. He's better than her though cause his lows are stronger and he can scream. Honestly he's a really freaking talented vocalist.
Outside of that the band is a really nice sounding group. For a Prog group they don't really hit you over the head with it. Some bands go hard with the weird time signatures and such, but these guys manage to keep it chill. Still complex stuff, but a lot more accessible than say, Between The Buried And Me.
Listen to this with good headphones though, or a good system with nice bass response. You'll enjoy it a lot more if you can hear all the hits.
