DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT released its long-awaited sixth full-length album entitled "Z2", on October 28th, 2014 via HevyDevy Records.
Townsend says about "Z2": "The first disc, 'Sky Blue', is the next step up from 'Epicloud', but the melodies aren't as basic; it's a lot more melancholy, it's maybe a little more washed out color wise, it's not as vibrant, but it really speaks for the fact that I couldn't do a happy record right now, that's not where I was at.
"My view on the second disc, 'Dark Matters', is different again. Seven years have gone by since the first 'Ziltoid'. That was a really psychological record for me and he was a representation of me at that time. You know, I'd just had a kid, I was coming out of drugs and quitting my band, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, stuff like that. I just don't care about that stuff as much as I did. I've got other kids around me now, like my sister's kids and my neighbor's kids and they became really interested in Ziltoid and started giving me ideas for the story. So 'Z2' ended up being like a story for kids, just with really savage music, orchestras, choirs and all that stuff."
"At the end of this process, we reached for the stars, and hopefully got to the moon, and after this album cycle, I will be taking some time to recharge my batteries and see what the next chapter holds."
"I hope you enjoy this record and all its offshoots, as one of my goals is to hopefully inspire folks to reach for unconventional ways to express themselves as well. We couldn't have done it without you!"
The official lyric video for the songs "Rejoice" and "Deathray" can be streamed in the YouTube clips below.
