Periphery recently announced the release of their fifth album, Periphery III: Select Difficulty on July 22, via Sumerian Records. You can hear the opening track and first single, “The Price is Wrong” here:
“It’s like handing somebody a grenade,” guitar player Jake Bowen says of the song, which serves as the album opener. “It’s so in-your-face and brutal for us. It was a great way to start.”
“Every one of our albums has a nice long intro, and we were like, ‘Let’s kick this off with a drum fill and a pissed-off riff,’” laughs guitar player Misha Mansoor. “It’s something we haven’t done. It was fun.”
Physical pre-order bundles for the new album are available now via Sumerianmerch.com and digitally via iTunes (http://smarturl.it/PeripheryIII-iTunes), Amazon (http://smarturl.it/PeripheryIII-Amazon) and Google Play (http://smarturl.it/PeripheryIII-GoogleP).
