This song is very interesting in that it is pretty much Spencer's baby. A few years back he showed a song he had demoed instrumentally with him playing guitar/bass and having programmed the drum ideas, and we all were taken aback, because we knew he was a creative force when it came to vocals but we didn't realize that he was or could even write for the other instruments. I worked with him on the song in the way that I work with the bands that I produce, and helped trim the fat, got the arrangement flowing nicely, reworked some riffs and added some layers, and that demo is what the album version is based off of. Strangely enough he had never shown us the lyrics/vocal ideas for this song, but he had told me that he had some good ideas, and that he was really happy with his ideas for the chorus. I feel like this song is somehow very Periphery, and yet something I never would have been able to write myself, and it is a good example of how tight the writing chemistry is in this band. Since this song was demoed right when we started preproduction work on the album, we decided to play it live on some tours, and it is one of the few songs on this album that we actually jammed in a room before recording the final version and settling on the parts. In the future, time permitting, I think we would want to be able to do that with every song, just to see how it feels to play it as a band. I do, however, think this song has something very special because of that advantage. - Misha

I still can't wrap my head around the vocals. Puts a bad taste in my mouth, ever since I saw them live a few years ago and couldn't hear Misha's guitar work over the fucking singing. The singing is better now, but I still miss their straight up instrumental days before Travis Orbin left. That was when I was really into this band. As soon as they added a full-time vocalist I started losing interest. Don't get me wrong, he's a good singer, and that chorus was pretty cool, but I never listened to Periphery for the lyrics.

Was there a demo for Facepalm Mute ? I actually discovered this song in an mp3 where some guitar details where slighty different, and Sponce did a different melody on the first prechorus ( a better one to me though)..

The chorus @ 1:14 should be Periphery's official anthem.

Saw Periphery play their first show in New Zealand last night, unfortunately Spencer was incredibly sick and could only play the first 4-5 songs before he completely lost his voice, but the others carried on instrumental. I've never got a crazier buzz at a concert from hearing the crowd sing this chorus while still going nuts.

they found a way to play 75-80% brutal riffs and still get pussy after their shows by confusing the 'giners with clean vocals. well played good sirs

That chorus though... it's so clever! A great sounding song of a great sounding album. In particular the bass part is so neatly written, I love the cross-rhythm feel between bass and vocals during the chorus, just incredible!

I like spencer because there is absolutely nothing edited about him he sings and screams EXACTLY how it sounds on recording

I know a reggae listener in his 50's who says he prefers Spencer's harsh vocals to his clean. I love it all and Spencer has real ability and a voice of his own, but it's all just taste at the end of the day. There's no objective good or bad. If ability alone made music good, why doesn't instrumental shred top the charts?
