Maryland-based progressive metallers PERIPHERY have issued the following band lineup news:

"We're incredibly excited to announce that our longtime friend and contributor Adam "Nolly" Getgood (RED SEAS FIRE) will be joining Periphery as a full-time member. He will be taking care of bass duties live and in the studio, and additionally will be bringing his considerable guitar playing, production and songwriting abilities to the table."

Misha Mansoor had this to say: "Nolly has been an honorary Periphery member for the last few years. He filled in on bass for us on our first real tour (Thrash and Burn 2009) and since then has always been there for us and has helped us out immensely. Given that we love him dearly as a friend and found that we have excellent chemistry both on stage and in the studio, and he is a master of all of his instruments, hiring him as our full-time bassist was the logical solution. His irreplaceable ability and insight brought so much to the production and bass on Periphery II: TTIP - we don't feel that anyone else would be able to take on the roles he has filled. He has already been writing with us for new material, and we are proud to have him on board!"

Nolly continues: "It's absolutely amazing to be joining my friends in Periphery full-time! Having felt like part of the "family" for quite some time this feels like an incredibly natural step. I've had the pleasure of watching them grow to their current stage and can't wait to see where we can take the band together!"

The band statement continues: "Nolly should already be known to many, having filled-in live on both bass and guitar several times over the years. He also played all of the bass on, and co-produced our new album, Periphery II: This Time It's Personal.

He will be taking up his permanent spot in the live line-up as of this October's European tour with BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME and THE SAFETY FIRE. Our excellent friend Jeff Holcomb will be filling in on bass for all live dates between now and October, including the imminent Summer Slaughter tour."

Periphery will release their new album, II, on July 3rd in North America via Sumerian Records. Century Media Records recently welcomed Periphery to the family as licensing partner for the world outside of North America, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

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."
