"Bulb" is the musical moniker most famously associated with Misha Mansoor, a pioneering figure in the progressive metal scene, recognized primarily for his role as the founder and lead guitarist of the influential band Periphery. Mansoor's solo work under the Bulb pseudonym harks back to his early days of creating and sharing music online, where his intricate compositions and innovative guitar work garnered a dedicated following. Bulb serves as a creative outlet for Mansoor's individual explorations, allowing him to delve into instrumental pieces that showcase his technical prowess and songwriting skills without the constraints of a band setting.

Over the years, "Bulb" has released a plethora of tracks, often serving as teasers for the direction Mansoor might take in future Periphery material. His recent releases under this name, including 'Against The Grain' and 'Still There / Emotions,' continue to push the envelope of the djent genre—combining complex rhythms with atmospheric elements. The 'Buried Future EP' revealed a collection of solid tracks brimming with innovative riffs and ambient soundscapes. Notably, the singles 'Tenderness' and 'Lonely Gravity / Default Settings' further solidify Bulb's reputation as a project where Mansoor can express his more introspective and experimental tendencies, creating a sound that is not just heavy, but also emotionally resonant and sonically diverse.
