[METAL] Sure to make your brain burst from their boundary pushing heavy metal, the six-piece experimental rock band Periphery will be at the Waiting Room this Friday, April 6. Leaders of an increasingly popular subgenre of heavy metal called djent, the dynamic collective is pushing the boundries. Garnering millions of hits online and placing 22 on Billboard’s Hot 200 with the release of their double album Juggernaut: Alpha, and Juggernaut: Omega, the band is on the second leg of their “Sonic Unrest” tour, riding on their most recent full-length release Periphery III: Select Difficulty. Sharing the stage is Indianapolis natives, The Contortionist. The progressive metal quintet adds diversity to the hi-fi compressed production of their travelling counterparts with rhythmic jazz foundation. Also in the lineup is the elusive rock band Norma Jean and post-rock electronic band Infinity Shred.
