Following the February 6th release of furious lead single "Blood Eagle," Washington, D.C. prog-metal outfit Periphery are back with a full album stream of their upcoming Periphery IV: Hail Stan, out this Friday, April 5th, via their own label 3Dot Recordings.
"We finally spent a year on a record," said guitarist and programmer Jake Bowen of the band's latest. "We've never been able to do that."
"We're all the happiest we've ever been with a release," added guitarist Mark Holcomb.
The album has a darkly polished edge, taking on a grim but sleekly produced tone and construction. Songs titles like "CHVRCH BVRNER" and "Garden in the Bones" hint at a more macabre direction for the dynamic band, leaning into a matured but still rage-fueled process of creation.
The band's three week American tour with Dance Gavin Dance kicked off last night in Anaheim City, California and moves onto San Francisco's The Regency tonight.
