The Devin Townsend Appreciation Thread

[Northman]

Yep, i did it. I started a thread on my favorite musician/singer of all time. For those who know of him and his projects you know what im talking about. For those who dont, you need too. If you are the kind of guy that likes metal, he does that quite well with his former project STRAPPING YOUNG LAD. If your the kind of person that likes more progressive rock/metal than you would like his solo projects or OCEAN MACHINE in which he also manages to blend in a little pop there as well. Known for his comedic approach to music in general both live and on video he is just an all around great individual. Here is just a few tracks/videos to quench your earbuds. Enjoy!

Thought i would update this thread. Devin has since discontinued Strapping Young Lad but has continued with his solo projects. He is currently involved in a project consisting of 4 albums alltogether. He has already released the first one called "Ki". Devin's solo stuff consists of a lot of progressive elements along with some pop culture. Look no further than the song "Trainfire" off of "Ki". Devin uses an almost Elvisesque approach to the song with his wife joining him with background vocals. Now, he is getting ready to release "Addicted" as pt II of the series and has a new track up on MySpace called "Bend it like Bender" which i believe also features his wife. Very catching tune so check it out and i know most will probably enjoy it. There is also a teaser file for "Addicted" and the aforementioned "Ki" to check out if you like.
