Juggernaut: Alpha on CD

The legendary traditions of progressive rock are not without critics. Detractors say the otherwise celebrated style lacks spirit. It lacks emotion. But Periphery smashed this misconception to bits across two full-length albums and a handful of unconventional releases. The band's mind-bending instrumentation and diverse vocalizations are delivered with vibrant urgency and inescapable hooks that act as an inviting tip to the sonic iceberg lurking beneath. Periphery's appropriately titled third full-length collection, JUGGERNAUT, lays waste to all expectations within and without the genre. 'Given the nature and complexity of the JUGGERNAUT story, we've actually done something different and exciting in regards to the release,' explains drummer Matt Halpern. 'JUGGERNAUT is a story that is told through our music, and we want our audience to fully digest the whole experience. Because JUGGERNAUT is very detailed and dense in terms of character development, peaks and valleys, climaxes and resolutions we've divided the story and music in two, in the form of two separate albums. JUGGERNAUT: ALPHA, is the first part of the story, focuses on the back story and character development.'
