Periphery IV: Hail Stan auf Wikipedia (oder andere Quellen):

Periphery IV: Hail Stan is the sixth studio album by American progressive metal band Periphery. The album was released on April 5, 2019. It is their first album not to be released on Sumerian Records, as the band parted ways with the label in 2018.[2] The album was independently released on the band's own label, 3DOT Recordings.[3] It is also Periphery's first album since the departure of bassist Adam "Nolly" Getgood in 2017, though he still served as producer and performed mixing duties for the album, in addition to performing the final bass parts written by guitarist Misha Mansoor.[4][5] The album also features live orchestrations and choir from the band's longtime collaborator and arranger Randy Slaugh.[6][7][8][9][10]

Release and promotion

Periphery IV: Hail Stan was officially announced on February 6, 2019. The album's first single, "Blood Eagle" was released alongside the announcement, with an accompanying music video.[11] A second single, "Garden in the Bones", was released on March 1, 2019.[12] On April 1, 2019, the album became available for streaming on Periphery's YouTube channel, four days before its scheduled release. The album features the band's longest song to date, "Reptile", at 16 minutes and 44 seconds, as well as "Sentient Glow", a reworking of the song of the same name by Haunted Shores, a studio project featuring Periphery guitarists Misha Mansoor and Mark Holcomb.

The album received critical acclaim from critics. Already Heard rated the album 4 out of 5 and said: "By presenting generic elements in fascinating new ways, Periphery manage to push their sound forward, building on their strengths in both engaging and exciting fashion. Despite basking in contrast, it's a cohesive record and arguably one of their best."[14] Damon Taylor from Dead Press! rated the album positively, saying: "Hail Stan is Periphery on their own terms. Self-assured, textured, and a behemoth of a record, it's a release that demands repeat listens."[15]

Distorted Sound scored the album 10 out of 10 and said: "If you glanced at Periphery IV's track-list with no prior knowledge of the band, you'd immediately acknowledge the 17-minute opener and 10-minute closer and likely place them as a newcomer with something to prove. A band of this status can always play it safe, but no such thing exists for PERIPHERY. Once again they have approached their next chapter with ambition and audacity, and executed it in blindingly successful fashion. In simpler terms, Periphery IV: Hail Stan is virtually flawless. It seamlessly encompasses every beloved aspect of the band's arsenal without even vaguely shying away from creativity and innovation, resulting in some of the finest material progressive metal has ever seen. And on an even more profound level, it once again highlights their ability to appease music fans of all persuasions whilst also exhibiting masterful, magical musicianship."[16]

Lukas Wojcicki of Exclaim! gave it 8 out of 10 and said: "Despite the extra time dedicated to the album's composition, at its core, it is still very much a Periphery album. Aside from the obvious example, "Crush" — a full-blown Combichrist-like industrial track — Periphery don't pull many surprises on Periphery IV, but that's not to say they didn't make good use of their freedom. Periphery IV is masterfully executed, well thought-out, extremely well-produced, and offers up nine more great Periphery tracks that we can all enjoy."[17] Metal Injection gave the album a perfect score 10/10 and jokingly saying: "The only possible issue with Periphery IV: HAIL STAN is that subtitle. If it's just a joke, that's cool—but it could’ve been better, especially after the hilarity that ensued as fans debated such potential candidates as Shrek 3, A New Hope, Die Hard 7, and Age of Ultron. Still, there's always next time. Leave your own suggestions in the comments, and make sure that Periphery V gets the subtitle it deserves."[18]

New Noise gave the album 5 out of 5 and stated: "After months of teasing and build-up, what's most immediately noticeable about IV: Hail Stan (hereafter P4) is how very much Periphery are clearly toying with their established sound. To boot – some songs here are unrecognizable for those who have kept track of the DC band, while others find the group spreading their wings in bold and fascinating new directions. [...] Periphery are clearly interested in making music entertaining and fun over worrying about how heavy or complex a song is – and that spirit of merriment is at the heart of why this is the band's best record yet. [...] There are no weak spots on this impeccable record, but it's a testament to the band that their best album to date is their least 'Periphery' one yet. The band taking their time with P4 paid off wonderfully."[19]

PopMatters praised the album but saying, "It doesn't quite reach the heights of its two immediate predecessors overall, but it upholds enough of what made them great to satisfy while also adding enough new characteristics to possess its own identity and merit by comparison. Thus, it's another outstanding and singular achievement for the quintet that will surely satisfy fans and rank highly during the requisite 'Best of 2019' year-end genre lists. After nearly 15 years on the scene, Periphery still reigns above most of their peers."[20]

Loudwire named it one of the 50 best metal albums of 2019.[21]

Periphery IV: Hail Stan

Periphery auf Wikipedia (oder andere Quellen):

Periphery ist eine 2004 gegründete Progressive-Metal-Band mit einigen Metalcore-Einflüssen aus Bethesda, Maryland. Die Band zeichnet sich durch die tiefen siebensaitigen Gitarren, den sechssaitigen Bass und die meist klare Stimme des Sängers Spencer Sotelo aus.

Geschichte

2005 gründete Misha („Bulb“) Mansoor die Band Periphery. Er begann die ersten Lieder aufzunehmen und startete nebenbei einen Videoblog auf YouTube und erstellte zusätzlich ein Profil auf MySpace. Im Laufe der Zeit zogen Periphery die Aufmerksamkeit vieler Metal-Fans auf sich, da sie viele ihrer Songs online und kostenlos zum Download zur Verfügung stellten. Zudem erschienen immer wieder neue Videoblogs. Aufgrund des großen Feedbacks beschlossen sie, weitere Videos zu drehen und neue Songs aufzunehmen, was schließlich zum großen Erfolg führte.[1]

Periphery durchliefen eine Reihe von Lineup-Änderungen. Ursprünglich spielte Misha Mansoor Schlagzeug und Gitarre in der Band, begann aber nach lokalen Talenten zu suchen. Er fand den Schlagzeuger Jason Berlin und wechselte selbst permanent an die Gitarre. Berlin plante in Los Angeles anderen Interessen nachzugehen und wurde durch Travis Orbin ersetzt.

Zwischen 2005 und 2009 arbeitete Periphery mit den Sängern Jake Veredika, Casey Sabol und Christopher Barretto, und entwickelte sich langsam von einem Meshuggah-beeinflussten Sound zu einem mehr atmosphärischeren, melodischeren Sound, mit Fokus auf innovative Produktion.

2009 verließ Travis Orbin die Band um einer Karriere als Session Drummer nachzugehen. Er wurde daraufhin durch Matt Halpern ersetzt.

Am 20. Januar 2010, inmitten von Spekulationen, dass sie wieder den Sänger gewechselt hätten, luden Periphery einen Album-Sampler mit Vocals von Spencer Sotelo, der später als neuer Sänger von Periphery angekündigt wurde hoch. Er ersetzte Chris Barretto, der wegen persönlicher Differenzen aus der Band gefeuert wurde.

Als die Label Distort Inc., Sumerian Records und Roadrunner Records auf die Band aufmerksam wurden, gelang Periphery der Durchbruch. 2010 nahmen sie am Metal-Festival Summer Slaughter teil; zudem erschien am 28. Mai 2010 das Debütalbum Periphery, welches in den USA unter dem Label Sumerian Records, in Kanada durch Distort Inc. und in Europa durch Roadrunner Records verkauft wird. Vom 16. Juli bis zum 15. August 2010 spielte die Band auf der „The Trash and Burn Tour“ neben Bands wie Born of Osiris und Kittie mit.[1]

Am 6. Juli 2011, gaben Periphery über ihren MySpace-Blog bekannt, dass die Band sich von Gitarrist Alex Bois getrennt hatte. Ihre Tour-Pläne wurden jedoch nicht geändert, und die Gitarristen Mark Holcomb und Adam „Nolly“ Getgood wurden angeheuert um Alex’ Parts während der Live-Shows zu übernehmen, bis ein permanenter Ersatz gefunden wäre.

Am 7. September 2011 wurde Periphery als Opener für Dream Theater auf deren A Dramatic Turn of Events Tour in Europa angekündigt, die im Januar 2012 begann.

Im Oktober 2011 gab die Band bekannt, dass Mark Holcomb nun vollzeitiger Gitarrist war.

In November entschied sich der Bassist Tom Murphy die Band zu verlassen. Daraufhin wurde Adam Getgood die Rolle des Bassisten für die Europa-Tour mit Dream Theater zugewiesen. Die Band heuerte außerdem Marks Bruder Jeff als Ersatzbassisten für ihre US-Tour 2012 an.

Am 28. Juni 2012 kündigten Periphery an, dass Adam „Nolly“ Getgood offizielles Mitglied der Band sei. Seine Rolle sei in erster Linie die des Bassisten, aber er würde auch Gitarrenparts im Studio beisteuern.

Die EP Clear, welche am 28. Januar 2014 erschien, wurde von Jake Bowen als „Experiment“ bezeichnet, um die Vielfalt der verschiedenen Kompositionsstile der Bandmitglieder widerzuspiegeln. So hat jedes Bandmitglied je einen Titel komponiert und die künstlerische Verantwortung selbst übernommen.

2014 komponierte Mansoor alleine zwei Lieder für Halo 2 Anniversary Original Soundtrack mit den Titeln Breaking the Covenant und Follow in Flight.

Im Mai 2016 kündigte die Band ihr nächstes Album Periphery III: Select Difficulty an, welches am 22. Juli desselben Jahres erschien. Nebenbei erschien auch der erste Track des neuen Albums, The Price Is Wrong. Am 24. Juni 2016 erschien eine weitere Singleauskopplung namens Flatline aus den neuen Album Periphery III: Select Difficulty. Am 8. Juli 2016 erschien die dritte Singleauskopplung namens Marigold, welches auch ein Musikvideo bekommen hat. Am 14. Juli erschien die Single Motormouth. Die weitere Single The Way the News Goes … wurde einen Tag später veröffentlicht. Etwas später wurden die restlichen Singles veröffentlicht.

Am 3. August 2017 verkündete der Bassist der Band, Adam „Nolly“ Getgood, dass er die Band verließ, hauptsächlich um sich besser auf seine Karriere als Musikproduzent konzentrieren zu können.[2]

Am 19. April 2018 gab das Plattenlabel von Periphery, Sumerian Records, bekannt, dass Periphery sich vom Plattenlabel getrennt haben. Die Band würde ihr nächstes Album selbst veröffentlichen. Am 15. Oktober 2018 begann die Band mit dem Aufnahmen zu ihrem nächsten Album.

Am 7. Februar 2019 erschien die Single Blood Eagle. Kurz darauf wurde bekanntgegeben, dass das neue Album Periphery IV: Hail Stan hieße und am 5. April 2019 erscheinen würde. Am 1. März 2019 erschien die zweite Single Garden in the Bones.
