Periphery
Periphery grew out of guitarist Misha Mansoor's home demos in Washington, D.C., and became the band most associated with the style people started calling djent — that clipped, palm-muted guitar attack wrapped around huge choruses. Their songs swing between crushing heaviness and bright, melodic hooks, with a lineup of three guitarists and a taste for long, ambitious arrangements. They helped turn an internet-forum sound into a scene of its own.

Periphery II: This Time It’s Personal (2012). It's the record where everything clicked, pairing the band's heaviest riffing with Spencer Sotelo's biggest vocal hooks. "Make Total Destroy" and "Scarlet" show both sides of them in one place.
