Periphery have released a pair of new singles from their upcoming new album Periphery V: Djent Is Not A Genre, which is set to release through their label, 3DOT Recordings, on March 10th. A music video directed by Jake Woodbridge for the single “Wildfire“, which features Shining saxophonist Jørgen Munkeby, can be found below along with the track “Zagreus“. The album was self-produced with the band’s bassist Adam “Nolly” Getgood mixing the effort.
Mark Holcomb, the band’s guitarist, offered the following on the new album:
“We spent more time on Periphery V than any other release in our history. We challenged and pushed ourselves harder, and along the way we grew even closer as a band. We are so proud of the final results! I also wanted to mention how exceedingly grateful we are to our fans for being so patient in waiting for this record. We wanted to show our appreciation by giving you two songs today instead of one. We have a very busy 2023 and 2024 planned so we’ll see you on the road!”
Misha Mansoor, also a guitarist from the band, said:
“I’m really proud of the material and it was certainly a labor of love and a tough album to make. The feeling that we were going to have to give up because it kept taking so long was so overwhelming at times, that to not just overcome it, but to feel so proud of this album has really galvanized us as a band in a way that I don’t think any other experience could have.”
