Mardoch
Defender of the Universe
there is a severe lack of Pheriphery in this thread - and they would kick everyone's ass at center stage. such a great live band.
They are amazing live, and are on the new frontlines of heavy prog. However, djent is highly divisive and Spencer's voice (which, among this group, cracks me up because [collective] they listen to so many screeching dudes what's one more) multiplies the divisiveness by 1000 in Periphery's case. I, however, would freakin LOVE to see them at the fest. I think if more people gave them an honest shot they'd love em.
