For the last month or so, Periphery have been in the studio working on their third proper album, Juggernaut. In September, having completed the album, they’ll be stepping away from the confines of the recording studio to hit the road on the “Escape From the Studio” tour. The tour, which will be sponsored by D’Addario and Bandhappy, will also feature The Contortionist, Intervals and Toothgrinder. In addition to it being a pretty solid lineup, the tour will feature a VIP experience, “Juggernaut Workshops,” which will include a walkthrough of the band’s gear, a meet and greet, and possibly even a view of the show from side stage. Here’s what Misha Mansoor has to say about the tour:
We’ve all been in intense writing mode all year and are already itching to tour again. Drum tracking has wrapped and today the rest of us officially enter the studio for Juggernaut, so are excited to give the album cycle for Periphery II a proper send-off. With our good friends in The Contortionist, Intervals and Toothgrinder, it is going to be a special swan song for the album.
