Clear is the second EP by American progressive metal band Periphery. It was released on January 28, 2014 through Sumerian Records. This EP is an experimental work for the band: aside from the intro track, each member of the band composed a track and covered the role of creative director over that track.
Background Jake Bowen stated:
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 King Mothership.
