DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT

Release Year: 2011
Artist Origin: CAN
Style: crazy harmonious progressive atmospheric metal

part three in Project series is another heavy and destructive record, pleasing the die-hard early era Devy fans, also bringing back powerful roaring SYL memories - tackling the absurdity of over-analyzing meaning itself, using the metaphor of an intellectual’s quest for ultimate truth, such a bombastic and theatrical metal approach produces heaps of energy, combined with catchy orchestral arrangements, where deconstructed is not just musical form [though the album violently tears apart and reassembles metal, opera, jazz, and electronic elements], but the very idea of seeking fixed meaning in art, ideology, or existence, while guest vocal appearances by Ihsahn, Paul Masvidal, Mikael Åkerfeldt, Joe Duplantier, and Greg Puciato, among others, add those exclusive extras, and half of drum tracks are performed by Dirk Verbeuren [Megadeth]
