Periphery - Periphery IV: Hail Stan [CD]

Periphery III: 'Select Difficulty' solidified Periphery's position at the forefront of modern heavy music. Opener "The Price Is Wrong" received a 2017 GRAMMYR Award nomination in the category of "Best Metal Performance." Meantime, the album tallied 35 million cumulative streams and marked their third consecutive debut in the Top 25 of the Billboard Top 200. On 2019's P4: 'HAIL STAN', PERIPHERY enliven, enlarge, and expand the outer reaches of their signature progressive alternative metal. For the first time in a 13-year career, the group devoted an entire year to crafting the nine tracks comprising the new album. More saturated, aggressive, and darker in tone than previous albums, 'Hail Stan', exemplifies a penchant for progression. It twists and turns over moments of bludgeoning groove. And bulldozing a path for the album is the unrelenting, uncompromising, heavy, and pissed-off single "Blood Eagle," seeing PERIPHERY reaching new levels.
