International press about “Periphery II”:
“(…) Periphery II… is the work defining just who and what they are. And with enough tech-head virtuosity to make other bands weep.” (Kerrang! UK)
“(…) one thing that really sets this US collective apart from the eight-sting toting hordes: their songwriting.”(Terrorizer, UK)
“A quite exceptional album indeed.” (Rock Sound, UK)
Coverstory (Misha Mansoor vs. John Petrucci) + 5 page interview (Gitarist, NL)
“Songs like “Have A Blast“, ”Facepalm Mute“ and ”Erised“ are of such a quality that the status of PERIPHERY as one of the bands crossing borders with the potential to appeal to a wider audience isn’t only stressed, but also expanded.“ (Fuze, D)
“In its weakest moments it sounds like Linkin Park in its best like Mr. Bungle fighting Strapping Young Lad. Thanks to young talents like this five piece from Maryland progressive metal is having a bright future, because it is stunning how many blinkers are casted off.“ (Visions, D)
“Evil and beautiful, brutal and tender, complex and catchy – a song like “Have A Blast“ is programmatic for the fascinating metal opus that features so many highlights that it is pointless to try to enlist them.“ (Metal Hammer, D)
