Devin Townsend

I don't think I need to introduce Devin Townsend. I really shouldn't have to. The man is a legend and his music is spectacular.

"Ziltoid The Omniscient, a four-dimensional alien has come to earth and is currently hovering five miles above Qatar. Beaming messages to the earth, including video, music, and words, His Omniscient-ness has one dimension up on us humans, allowing him control over time. But, in order to bend time he requires the perfect fuel — BLACK COFFEE — found in abundance on only one planet in the omniverse... Earth. He plays guitar and sings, is moody and a bit sensitive, with his first record due in late June. Surrounded by nymphs and prancing plasma beings, the album was produced by Devin Townsend in the hangar of the Ziltoidian space barge. All hail Ziltoid and his Infinity metal! Prepare your finest brew! Ziltoid doesn't want to destroy the earth now...he just wants to be known as the best guitar player and get lots of chicks."

This is the main man's newest album, due for release in May. It sounds somewhere between Strapping Young Lad and The Devin Townsend Band, so think of a combination of The New Black and Synchestra and you wouldn't be far off. It's a great bit of music and the lyrics are wondrously silly, this is an excellent album and I pretty recommend it to anyone.
