Periphery preparing new releases

Maryland based metal band Periphery have announced that they are close to completing their upcoming new EP.

The band's guitarist Misha Mansoor posted:

"I am really happy to announce that Periphery is well into the writing process for our upcoming EP. We have tracked most of the instrumentation and vocals and are making final tweaks on everything but you guys are in for a treat. There will be some re-tweaked material, some rare material and some brand new material on it so there will be something for everyone."

Mansoor also announced that the band has began writing material for their second album:

“We have also been working on material for our second full-length now, so that we can have as much time to refine it before we record the final product. Be sure to check our MySpace and Facebook pages regularly for our updates. Our goal with our music is to cover as much ground as possible while staying true to our sound, and hopefully evolve from previous work all at once. It's a tall order but a fun challenge nonetheless, and we are doing our best to ensure that the new material will fulfill that goal."

Periphery toured Australia for the first time in May this year, opening for The Dillinger Escape Plan and Maylene & The Sons Of Disaster.
