With a sound that pushes at the boundaries of progressive metal, Periphery are at the forefront of the "djent" movement, utilizing detuned, extended-range instruments to create a sound that's as technically dizzying as it is heavy, joining in with the growing ranks of artists who are taking the framework laid down by bands like Meshuggah and running wild with it. Emerging in 2005, the group issued their acclaimed eponymous debut in 2010, but really hit their stride with the double-LP Juggernaut (2015) and the diverse Periphery III: Select Difficulty (2016), the latter of which earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance.

Their new album, Periphery IV: Djent Is Not A Genre, is released March 10th of the band's label 3DOT Recordings.
