WASHINGTON, Jan. 6, 2014 – Periphery is streaming “Alpha” (http://youtu.be/K-BFadGJ3Kc), the title track from the band’s forthcoming release Juggernaut: Alpha, which will be simultaneously released on Jan. 27 with Juggernaut: Omega.

“’Alpha’ is the title track from the first Juggernaut album and I’m particularly proud of how this one turned out,” explained guitar player Jake Bowen.  “I really enjoy songs that have an unconventional arrangement but still flow nicely, and I think that's exactly why I like ‘Alpha’; it starts out more upbeat, then evolves into a darker mood towards the end, illustrating the Juggernaut story both musically and lyrically. Additionally, a few different themes and motifs appear in this song, acting as a nexus between the Juggernaut: Alpha and Omega albums. I hope you like this one as much as I do! Enjoy!"

Digital and physical pre-orders for the pair of albums are available now via iTunes with instant downloads of multiple songs (“The Scourge,” “22 Faces,” “The Bad Thing,” “Graveless” and “Alpha”):Alpha: http://hyperurl.co/Juggernaut_Alpha and Omega:  http://hyperurl.co/Juggernaut_Omega). Physical pre-order bundles, which include The JuggerDoc, a documentary on the making of the new albums, are available via http://sumerianmerch.com.

A series of webisodes documenting the recording sessions for the Juggernaut releases have been shared with fans over the past month.  The clips can be found on Sumerian Records’ YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/sumerianrecords).
