t’s surprising Periphery have taken so long to release a live album, given the strength of their onstage performance. Live In London was recorded at the 2,000-capacity O2 Forum on November 15, 2019, and opening track Reptile immediately sets the tone, with a combination of viscous riffs and intricate interplay. More than half the set comes from that year’s Periphery IV: Hail Stan, though that never overbalances this album.
