Periphery in the recording studio

Maryland based prog metal outfit Periphery are currently in the recording studio preparing new material.

The band briefly made the announcement via their Facebook page when writing:

"At the studio! Tracking live drums for some new Periphery stuff!! Perhaps some footage?"

Subsequently, Periphery additionally uploaded a photo highlighting the group in the studio.

Guitarist Misha 'Bulb' Mansoor recently caught up with music website Rock Edition to discuss plans for Periphery's next full-length studio album and follow-up to last year's well-received debut release.

"I’m trying to make our next full-length an epic release. It’s going to be a two-part thing: one album is going to be a concept album and one album is going to be regular. I don’t know if they’ll be packaged together or released separately. I just really care about creating it right now. We’re all working really hard at that. We can now afford to take all the time off that we need to get it done. We want to ensure that it’s all quality and not rushed because of deadlines," Mansoor said.

Periphery recently released EP 'Icarus Lives!' last month.
