MISHA MANSOOR

Misha Mansoor, also known as Bulb (the name of his solo project), is the founder and lead guitarist of the progressive metal band Periphery. He is also part of the studio project Haunted Shores (featuring Periphery guitarist Mark Holcomb) and the hardcore punk project Snuggles (which features former Periphery bassist Adam “Nolly” Getgood), as well as being involved in the projects Of Man, Not Of Machine (a trio consisting of him, ex-TesseracT and ex-Sky Eats Airplane singer Elliot Coleman and Mark Holcomb) and Four Seconds Ago (an electronic project with his Periphery bandmate Jake Bowen). Mansoor is seen as one of the forerunners of the djent movement and is often erroneously attributed with the invention of the word itself (he attributes its invention to Meshuggah guitarist Fredrik Thordendal).
