Biography

Bethesda, Maryland (2005 – present)

Periphery is an American band from Bethesda, Maryland, formed in 2005.

History
Formation and Lineup Changes (2005 - 2009)
Periphery was formed by guitarist Misha Mansoor in 2005. He slowly gained a reputation on the Internet, primarily via a regularly-updated Soundclick account, Meshuggah and John Petrucci forums, and the sevenstring.org message boards. Before and during Periphery’s tenure in the metal scene, Mansoor developed a reputation for doing his own audio production, the majority of which was performed with a home computer and a Pod XT during this period. Mansoor has continued to update his personal project, Bulb, which preceded Periphery, often transferring songs between the two projects. Mansoor continues to be involved in a number of other musical projects.

Between 2005 and 2009, Periphery worked with vocalists Jake Veredika, Casey Sabol and Chris Barretto, gradually moving from a nu metal-influenced sound to a more experimental style, with a focus on innovative production. In 2009, the band announced via their MySpace blog that they had signed a one record deal with Sumerian Records, on which they would release their debut full-length album.

Periphery has toured extensively since 2008, supporting artists including DevilDriver, Emmure, Veil Of Maya, Animals as Leaders, God Forbid, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Fear Factory.

    It takes a band with a big presence and something to say to catch so many fans and even heat. Just because the vocals don't sound like the other metal bands you like doesn't mean it doesn't belong or that every band should have the same sounding vocals. Move along! // Can't wait for that new album!

    'Seems like the gayest riffs that ever existed in the djent scene' Gay riffs are fun though.
