Not quite as good as 1 or 2 for me but still a great band in their space.
"The Price Is Wrong" (bitch!) Starts with some lovely blasting which I enjoy. Sharp riffing and a quicker groove as it thrashes away.

Una Noia Mortale
Parto subito tagliando la testa al toro ma Periphery 3 per me e il disco piu noioso, scontato e ripetitivo dei Periphery.
Tutto quello che hanno fatto nei precedenti lavori viene ... read more
