Clear is the second studio EP by American progressive metal band Periphery. It was released on January 28, 2014. This EP is an experimental work for the band: aside from the intro track, each member of the band has composed a track and cover the role of creative director of that track.
Background
Jake Bowen stated:
Clear is an experiment to explore all of the different writing styles in the band. It's rare when you have a band where every member is capable of writing and producing music. With each member controlling their own track, this recording enabled us to go down any path we chose in terms of style and sound. Every track also contains a melodic theme established in Clear's intro track Overture, this common thread links all of the songs together, even though they all sound wildly different.[2]
This EP has no artwork, by choice of the band.
A preview of "Feed the Ground" surfaced in 2012 originally as a demo for Spencer Sotelo and Matt Halpern's project The Mothership.
