Periphery Release NEW ‘Juggernaut’ Track, “The Bad Thing!”

 

Sure, I realize my several of my most recent posts have been about the new Periphery album – what’s your point? It’s going to be a searing double-album and it lands just in time for the New Year. Keep reading.

Periphery have shared a second song from the forthcoming Juggernaut albums with “The Bad Thing” (from Juggernaut: Omega) streaming via Alternative Press (http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/periphery_slam_shred_and_soar_on_the_bad_thing).

Rather than release a conventional album, or even a double-album, the DC-based band has opted to release two albums simultaneously: Juggernaut: Alpha and Juggernaut: Omega (Jan. 27, Sumerian Records). Pre-orders for the dual albums are available now via http://sumerianmerch.com.

“This new song we’re releasing, ‘The Bad Thing’, is definitely one of my favorites from the Juggernaut story,” said Matt Halpern. “It’s one of the first songs we wrote when we started working on Juggernaut, and it’s going to be a fun one to play live! It’s aggressive and pissed off, both musically AND literally, in terms of the lyrical content, and just hits hard right from the start. I want people to bob their heads and dig this one!”

A series of webisodes documenting the recording process for the Juggernaut albums kicked off last week, with the first clip available now via Sumerian Records’ YouTube channel (http://youtu.be/K6eA9KFuie8). A new episode will be available on Dec. 10.
