Daily Heavy: Periphery - Passenger

What started off as a song for Misha Mansoor's side project, Haunted Shores, was turned into a song for his main band, Periphery.

The opening riff was written by Misha's bandmate, Mark Holcomb, and it kicks all kinds of ass.
The syncopation on those full, lush chords give the intro such an amazing bounce and groove.
I love progressive metal like this - it intrigues the listener so much more than the copious amounts of metalcore and deathcore coming out these days.

Periphery have released two albums and one EP so far - all their material is pretty mind blowing stuff and if you like your metal and have an open mind, give this band a good listen.
