Periphery
Washington, D.C.-area progressive metal architects Periphery are widely credited with popularizing the djent movement, with guitarist Misha Mansoor's polyrhythmic, heavily processed guitar tones and the band's complex compositions redefining what modern metal could sound like. Albums like 'Periphery II' and the two-part 'Juggernaut' cycle demonstrate a band equally comfortable with crushing low-end heaviness and soaring, emotionally resonant clean passages. Their DIY origins as an internet-based project that evolved into one of prog metal's biggest acts mirror the digital transformation of the entire music industry.
