American metallers Periphery will return to Australia alongside UK progressive metal masters Tesseract this July on the League of Extraordinary Djentlemen Tour.

In just a few short years, Periphery have blazed a trail of originality that has sent a shockwave throughout the metal world. Exploring the complex uncharacteristic rhythms and technical precision of math rock with the brutality of progressive metal, Periphery have defied the boundaries of conventionality. Breathing life into the metal scene, Absolutepunk.net proclaims “From beginning to end, Periphery’s self titled debut is a wonder to behold, and will inspire modern metal for the next decade” paving the way for Periphery’s meteoric rise to the upper echelons of the metal world.

Embracing their experimental and prog sensibility garnered with a reputation for delivering jaw-dropping live performances has seen Tesseract catapulted into the forefront of the metal movement. Their debut album "One", whilst intense, deep and complicated is incredibly transcendent and melodic and “It’s hard to find fault with an album this complete…powerful stuff!” Rock Sound

Periphery and Tesseract will be hitting Australia for three extraordinary intimate performances this July.
