A Pale White Dot is the upcoming eighth studio album by American progressive metal band Periphery. It is scheduled to be released on May 15, 2026, through Periphery's own label 3DOT Recordings. A Pale White Dot marks the first departure from their usual self-titled album names since Juggernaut: Alpha and Juggernaut: Omega in 2015, and their first to not feature their three dot logo.
On March 27, 2026, Periphery posted a new photograph of the five touring members, captioned "Periphery 2026. We're gonna be busy. #APWD" on their social media pages.[1] This photograph includes vocalist Spencer Sotelo wearing a jacket with a white circle on the front of it, an early indication for the title. On March 30, 2026, the band announced the album, along with the title of its lead single and the release dates for both, May 15, 2026 and April 2, 2026 respectively.[2][3] The album marks the first time the band has recorded with 6-string 30" baritone guitars, which were tuned to Drop A#0 in unison with a 5-string bass.[4]
Periphery have a European tour (featuring some major festivals such as Download Festival) scheduled for June 2026, shortly after the release of the album.[2][5]
