Devin Townsend a écrit:Hey guys, the 'ep' (so to speak) thats coming out next week is just a little taster, it was done during the BTBAM tour and was the first tour as the band, I think it's pretty solid, but it's not an 'official release' or anything, it's just an avenue for folks to get ahold of the recordings that Brett did...

The crowd was pretty disinterested that night, so there's quite a lot of swearing and me being a jack-ass, just fyi :/

The tracks are

Supercrush
Kingdom
Truth, 1/2 of Om
By Your Command

The Tuska festival will be streaming on Peaveys site in the next few months, and the Namm show got mixed up all spiffy for a video stream on Mackies site at the same time.

...keeps things interesting. Enjoy!

Bravewords a écrit: Former EMPEROR frontman IHSAHN has contributed vocals to Canadian musician/producer Devin Townsend's (THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, STEVE VAI) new Deconstruction album.

"I have been a long time fan of Devin and his work," Ihsahn states, "and when he asked me to do some vocals for his upcoming Deconstruction album, I said yes right away. Devin is one of those few uncompromising artists who goes anywhere with their music, wherever that takes them. Nothing but respect!"





Townsend recently announced that Jens Bogren (OPETH, KATATONIA, BLOODBATH) will mix Deconstruction - the third album in a series to be released under The Devin Townsend Project moniker.

Townsend adds: "Need to join forces for choir and symphony elements. Beautiful album, deserves care."

The mixing sessions will take place in late February at Fascination Street studio in Örebro, Sweden.

The Devin Townsend Project's third and fourth CDs - Deconstruction and Ghost - are scheduled to be released in April.

Deconstruction "is brutal in a lot of parts, but pretty glorious in others," he stated recently. "It rides the fence of negativity but ultimately ends supremely positive." About Ghost, Townsend says the album is “not dark at all."

Townsend adds: "There are two drummers on Deconstruction; Ryan Van Poederooyen (TERROR SYNDROME, The Devin Townsend Band) for the crushing stuff, and Dirk Verbeuren (SOILWORK, SCARVE, ABORTED) for the inhuman stuff. This is a record I have been working up to for some time, and while doing it, I realize that not only am I in control of it, but that this newfound control allows me to take it to places I would have never been able to a decade ago. I pretty much believe that this will be one of our finest hours, and although there is some funny moments, it's a pretty pointed record."

Yeah, for label reasons, Wednesday.

Devin Townsend a écrit:Watching a 60 piece orchestra set up and be confused by songs about masturbating and cheeseburgers. epic.

Devin Townsend a écrit:"Ep supposed to be out today... they sent me the link. I'm in Amsterdam now, shouldn't be long...hang in there guys!"

The Dev a écrit:Getting the labels etc put up the free ep turned into 15 people making 20 decisions.

It's coming, it's coming... from now on, I'd love to use SoundCloud. I can have stuff up that day. Everybody wants to get exposure out of it, but it's NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A BIG DEAL.

Faaaakkkk... it's cool they are letting me do it and I understand why business wants to do it this way, but it makes me look like a jackass when I tell people what they tell me and it doesn't happen on schedule. Same thing happened with Rockband and I get so frustrated.

I understand though, I understand...things take time in a democracy.

'any day now' is the answer I'm given. Sorry.

I'll just post this stuff myself from now on... they just get pissed.

Devin Townsend a écrit:Here's an out-take from the Ghost sessions. Please enjoy, it's not as much of a 'song' as it is a 'vibe'...

Devin Townsend a écrit:Hey folks, Devin here. How's tricks?
So here's the deal: I'm in the middle of an absolute monstrous amount of work,
Ghost, Deconstruction, Ziltoid Rockband, Live videos, Guitar prototypes, Namm, and
getting ready for tour. In a nutshell: Things are great! I'm happy to be working so
much and thrilled that I don't have to write music that sounds like every other shit ass
commercial rock band I hear on the radio.
My friend Brett Caldas-Lima, who did sound for us on our first tour ever as the Devin
Townsend Project (Last January with BTBAM, Cynic and Scale The Summit)
contacted me a while ago saying he had gone ahead and mixed one of the shows
from that first tour. In listening to it, I kind of thought we sounded pretty good!
Granted, it was the first tour and we were playing to a crowd that couldn't have cared
less, (hence the proliferation of tasteless ad-libs on my part...apologies) but really, all
things considered, it's not a bad recording and when it surfaced online, people were
asking how to get a hold of it. So um... here it is!
InsideOut Music and Century Media (two truly progressive labels) are full of music
lovers and good people. A great team to be on, and they offered to post this on their
site. Awesome IOM/CM! Thanks for years of support! Of course, on the net you can
download anything I've ever done as it is, so in a lot of ways I consider the fact that
some of you spend actual money on my stuff a really nice gesture. I was going to
release this on Soundcloud, but when the label asked to be involved, we decided the
best idea was to put it up on their site. There's so much stuff coming out this year that
costs actual money to produce that the least we can do to thank you for your support
is throw you a bone every now and then.
There's 5 songs performed by my live project 'dtp' straight out of the board and then
mixed by Brett:
Supercrush!
Kingdom
Truth
Om
By Your Command
The goal this year is to accumulate enough interest in what I do to work with
symphonies in a live context. As the second of 4 bands on our first tour though, it's
not really an option yet Ok, gotta get back to work...cheers! Come see us on tour if
you get a chance !
Dev
PS: Please visit Brett's website Towerstudio.net, he does a great job at the
production thing, and he is also the mastermind behind the band Kalisia, so yay
Brett!
