Periphery have released a trailer for JuggerDoc - The Making Of Juggernaut, a DVD included with the Juggernaut: Omega CD.

Adam Getgood, bassist and producer of Juggernaut, states: "The creation of Juggernaut was a long and involved process for all of us, so having a crew on hand to document it was a real pleasure. It's amazing to be able to look back on the way things went down, and I think listeners will really enjoy seeing behind the scenes of the recording.”

JuggerDoc is an extensive behind-the-scenes look at the Juggernaut recording process from start to finish. The documentary allows fans to observe each member play through their parts for the albums without lack of detail in gear, technique, and full Periphery humor.

Director and videographer Alex Wohleber: "Directing JuggerDoc and working with Periphery was an absolute blast. The amount of detail and perfection that went in to the making of Juggernaut is an amazing thing to experience. We wanted to give fans the real deal, and this is it! I'm excited for everyone to see it.”

Videographer Jeff Holcomb adds, "How Periphery works in the studio is an experience I've been wanting to share for a long time. I knew a documentary had to be made, and the recording of ‘Juggernaut’ was the perfect story to capture.”

 

 

Periphery will embark on extensive touring around the release of Juggernaut. First will be a five-week North American tour with support coming from Nothing More, Wovenwar and Thank You Scientist. Next on their agenda are Russia, a full European tour with Devin Townsend Project and Shining which leads to a Periphery headlining show in London, UK, on April 1st.

Misha Mansoor on going to Russia: "We are very excited to finally play Russia! We have heard so many amazing things about the shows and fans supporting us there and we can't wait to rock out with them at the shows.” And on headlining in London he has the following to say: “It has been too long London, you are one of our favorite cities to play ever. We couldn't come to Europe and miss you guys so we are stoked to be coming back finally! See you there.”
