"Periphery IV: Hail Stan" is the sixth studio album by American progressive metal band Periphery, released on April 5, 2019. It is their first album not to be released on Sumerian Records, as the band parted ways with the label in 2018. The album was independently released on the band's own label, 3DOT Recordings. It is also Periphery's first album since bassist Adam "Nolly" Getgood left the band in 2017.

User Album Review
For starters, consider the fact that this album’s opening track, “Reptile”, runs just 16 seconds shy of the 17-minute mark. That’s a bold move by anyone’s standards—but “Reptile” is so perfectly structured that you’ll barely notice its length. Even if you do, you probably won’t care; that song contains everything from lush strings to a guest spot from SikTh vocalist Mikee Goodman, as well as some of Periphery’s most punishingly percussive riffs to date. It’s going to be interesting to see how that one goes over live.
Post-“Reptile," advance single “Blood Eagle”—named after a particularly harsh Viking execution ritual—lives up to its name. Periphery IV is largely marked out by the presence of super-saturated guitar tones that lend an industrial edge to Periphery’s signature sound, and “Blood Eagle” sets the scene emphatically before we move on to the petrifying “CHVRCH BVRNER,” the now-old-school “Garden in the Bones,” the surprisingly poppy “It’s Only Smiles,” basement-dwelling filth odyssey “Follow Your Ghost,” and cinematic stomper “Crush.” Beyond that point comes “Sentient Glow” (based around an idea that dates back to Sotelo’s initial Periphery audition), near-10-minute closer “Satellites” (another peak moment, building from lush balladry to Tesseract-evoking riffage), and silence filled with a sense of total satisfaction.
