PERIPHERY Confirm Album Release Date, Announce New Guest Musicians

Yesterday, we showed you the ad for the new Periphery album that has surfaced in the latest issue of Revolver Magazine, which states their highly anticipated sophomore release will be coming out July 3rd.  Today, the band confirmed to Guitar World that the release date is indeed true. They also confirmed that besides a guest solo from John Petrucci of Dream Theater, there were two other guest soloists on the album: Wes Hauch, the new guitarist of The Faceless (who was recommended to the Faceless by Periphery) and Guthrie Govan of The Aristocrats. Not too familiar with The Aristocrats myself, but if they're good enough for Periphery, they're good enough for me. Periphery will be spending the summer on the Summer Slaughter tour with Cannibal Corpse, Between The Buried and Me and others. Get dates here.
