Periphery have a track called 'Icarus Lives!' on their debut album on Roadrunner Records called 'Periphery'.
The genre is progressive metal but also goes by the name of "Djent" for the guitar tone/style.
The album was recorded and produced at a home studio.
The kick drum seems to be tuned to a similar or same note as the kick drum. As the guitars and kick drums are so tight in how they are played, they both compliment each other and provide a lot of energy to the backbone of the song. The EQ seems very heavy on the bass and and a little EQ on the high end to give it punch.
The cymbals and snare seem to have been given a more live feel than the kicks and the cymbals really portray this.
This could either be a lot of overhead signal or artificial reverb on the snare/ cymbals - more likely the premier.
The toms, on the other hand, seem to be given the clean, dry signal approach to match the kick drums and seem to be in a similar frequency range to each of them and the kicks meaning that they fit really well with the guitar. This is very important for the style that they are playing in as Djent required tightness from all instruments otherwise it sounds really disjointed.
