Devin Townsend Project

Musical Group

Devin Townsend Project is a music project led by Canadian musician Devin Townsend, known for blending metal, progressive and orchestral elements and for ambitious, genre-mixing albums.

Townsend is noted for wide stylistic range, a pronounced sense of humour in his work, use of orchestration (parts of Deconstruction were recorded in Prague with an orchestra), and guest contributions (e.g. Mikael Åkerfeldt, Paul Masvidal, Anneke van Giersbergen are mentioned in the reviews). He founded HevyDevy Records and led Strapping Young Lad prior to the Devin Townsend Project.

Three DeBaser reviews cover Addicted, Ghost and Deconstruction. Reviewers praise ambition, orchestration and songwriting while noting problems of length and pacing. Overall the project is presented as ambitious and genre-mixing.

For:Fans of progressive, symphonic and experimental metal; listeners who enjoy ambitious, genre-blending albums.

 

"Devin Townsend has described it as his most complex and \"heavy\" work, making it an extremely ambitious project and thus highly anticipated by fans of the former leader of Strapping Young Lad."

"\"Ki\" gave us a hint, now with this \"Ghost\" we go to the extreme."

"A compact and monolithic album, sure, but thanks to a slightly shorter duration and some flourishes towards calmer shores, it does not result as exhausting as Deconstruction."
