WASHINGTON, Dec. 15, 2014 – Periphery, the DC-based sextet that Revolver Magazine recently said “stand at the vanguard of a new, and thoroughly modern, musical movement”, premiere the new song “22 Faces” via Rolling Stone (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/premieres/hear-peripherys-insane-prog-metal-shredfest-22-faces-20141215).

Digital pre-orders for the band’s forthcoming dual album releases, Juggernaut: Alpha and Juggernaut: Omega, are available today (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/juggernaut-omega/id944060803 and https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/juggernaut-alpha/id944061541) with instant downloads offered for “The Scourge,” “The Bad Thing” and “22 Faces.” Physical pre-order bundles are available now via http://sumerianmerch.com. The physical release of Juggernaut: Omega will be packaged with The JuggerDoc, a documentary on the making of the two albums.

“’22 Faces’ is a track off of Juggernaut: Alpha that I happen to be super proud of. One minute it is ambient and pretty, and the next minute it is assaulting you from every which way,” sing Spencer Sotelo explained to Rolling Stone. “This track also goes right to the heart of the Juggernaut story and gives a good look at some of the conflicts that the main character has to endure.”

Periphery documented the recording process for the ambitious, two album release and is releasing footage as a series of webisodes via Sumerian Records’ YouTube page (youtube.com/sumericanrecords). Clips featuring drummer Matt Halpern and guitar player Jake Bowen have surfaced with four more installments to come, the next arriving on Dec. 21 and profiling guitar player Mark Holcomb’s work on the albums.
