Periphery, who recently announced the March 10 arrival of their sixth album, Periphery V: Djent is Not a Genre, have partnered with Los Angeles-based creative agency, Race Service, for an A.I.-generated video for the song “Atropos”.
“The feel of ‘Atropos’ features a push and pull between pretty/melodic and dark/chaotic sections,” explains Spencer Sotelo. “That gave me the idea to write about a person who lives, and leans into, a completely superficial lifestyle, and the destructive aftermath of what doing so brings about, not just in that person’s life, but in the world around them. I think the video captures the lyrical essence in its visuals really well, and I’m excited for everyone to enjoy it along with the song.”
King Mothership, the new band from Periphery vocalist Spencer Sotelo and drummer Matt Halpern have announced the details surrounding their debut record, ‘The Ritual’.
The band was known as The Mothership in 2013 but went on hiatus as their members focused on other musical projects.
Since the name change, the lineups has changed as well. Guitarists Justin Gosnell (Periphery’s former tour manager) and Nick Johnston have stepped down with Sotelo and Tai Wright (Ex-Slaves) joining to cover the bass duties in the band.
‘The Ritual’ is set to be released October 2nd 2020 via 3DOT Recordings.
