The band is excited to share the first song off their second album, Periphery II with you. Jake Bowen (guitars) on the new track and plans for Europe: "Hello Peripherals! We just got back from our European festival run, and wow, you guys sure know how to make us feel welcome! Playing Rock am Ring and Download were definitely bucket list items for us to check off and having so many fans come out and support is the icing on the cake; we can't wait to do it again! If you didn't catch us at the festivals fear not, we'll be back in the UK and the rest of Europe this fall with the great dudes in BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME and THE SAFETY FIRE starting October 1st. In the midst of all this running around Europe we released a brand new single off of Periphery II called 'Make Total Destroy' and it's up for digital download, so check it out and get stoked for the new record!"

Samples of all tracks on the new album are available at Amazon UK. Click below to view their new album promo video.

Commented guitarist Misha Mansoor: "We put so much hard work and time into this album and we thank all of you for your continued support and patience. The album clocks in at sixty-nine minutes exactly and has tons of brand new material, so I assure you it is well worth the wait. Make sure to keep on the lookout for the first track which we will be releasing in the coming weeks."
