Periphery haven't officially announced a new bassist since their former bassist Tom Murphy left a few months ago. Their good friend Nolly Getgood has been filling in, and has been with the band since the beginning so, seeing as though it's a few days before the release of their new album, Periphery decided to make it Facebook-official and welcome the dude into the fold:
Misha Mansoor had this to say: "Nolly has been an honorary Periphery member for the last few years. He filled in on bass for us on our first real tour (Thrash and Burn 2009) and since then has always been there for us and has helped us out immensely. Given that we love him dearly as a friend and found that we have excellent chemistry both on stage and in the studio, and he is a master of all of his instruments, hiring him as our full-time bassist was the logical solution. His irreplaceable ability and insight brought so much to the production and bass on Periphery II: TTIP – we don't feel that anyone else would be able to take on the roles he has filled. He has already been writing with us for new material, and we are proud to have him on board!"
Periphery are putting out their sophomore release, Periphery II: This Time It's Personal next Tuesday, July 3rd. Stream the whole album here. They will be on this summer's Summer Slaughter tour.
