		Devin Townsend's proclivity to appear naked on album covers, the very talented Canadian musician has done nothing but show an immense amount of musical talent and ability in his various projects.

		CANADA - B.C. Devin Townsend is a Canadian musician who at 29 years old, already has a long and colourful history.

	Ink Nineteen: Devin Townsend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The first time I saw Devin Townsend was at Jannus Landing in 1994.
		He was a hyperactive, skinny, dorky-looking, half-grown-in mohawk wearing kid with vocal abilities ranging from a deep, thunderous, Armageddonous growl, to beautifully open and operatic, to a familiar shriek that would make Ripley wet her pants (all within 3 seconds).
		Devin Townsend is a 25 year-old Canadian multi-instrumentalist/vocalist (he can sing anything, perfectly) and creator of the bands "Strapping Young Lad," "Ocean Machine," and "Punky Bruster." He is now hard at work in a Vancouver Studio on his current album, which is called Infinity.

		Being recorded at the height on Devin’s emotional instability this album is a chaotic dive into a mind that has knows no boundaries.
		Devin’s talent in the production area is only surpassed by his musical visions.
		With this album you can hear more and more of Devin’s 80’s roots coming throughmainly in the vocals, his vocal talent is more evident on this recording, going from his well known growls and screams to perfectly controlled clean vocals with amazing power.

	DEVIN TOWNSEND Terria reviews and MP3
		Devin's fourth solo album "Terria" is as diverse as his previous releases.
		Devin is not only technically brilliant on the guitar, he's also a damn creative song/album writer and immaculate producer.
		The most unique thing about the Devin Townsend albums is that he uses a very large number of tracks during recording, which are layered on top of one another to create a wall of sound.

	Devin Townsend - Synchestra Review - sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Townsend mixes metal, psychedelic, synth based parts, and a bit of almost everything else into his music to create this masterpiece.
		Townsend’s use of samples seriously make you think you’re sitting in the middle of one of these places, perfectly content with what’s going on in your life.
		While it does require a large amount of grow time for the uninformed, Townsend fans will find this to be one of his best, and those who venture to listen to it will find it an absolutely superb imprint of a man who deserves a ton more respect.

	Blistering.com :: Music :: Reviews :: Devin Townsend - "Physicist" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Physicist is basically the SYL lineup of Townsend, bassist Byron Stroud, guitarist Jed Simon, and Hoglan on drums.
		With Devin on keys and guitar, there is a light, high-pitched synthetic aura behind each song that enhances Devin's familiar screams, most noticeable on the appropriate opener, "Namaste", a song about how Devin is tired of the meaningless, clichéd words that so many songwriters use today.
		Devin has stated before that he aimed for a more "pop" type sound for Physicist, and while I don't think N-Sync's position on Billboard's Hot 100 is threatened, the sound simply works for Physicist.

	Amazon.com: Synchestra: Music: Devin Townsend Band (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Synchestra, Devin’s sixth solo project outside Strapping Young Lad (the second as DTB), turned out to be a very enjoyable experience for the unique and legendary Canadian musician/sound whiz and band.
		Synchestra is a thirteen song collection of Devin stylings, with five or six "big Dev songs" and is a very refreshing change from the rest of the DT catalogue; stylistically closer to Terria or Ocean Machine, yet like all of his projects, still very much in a world of their own.
		Devin has the phenominal ability to funnel so many elements of such a broad range of music into his own personal and unique style.

		To sum it up, you have to say, that "Terria" is as hardly accessible as well as his other Devin Townsend records.

	Devin Townsend MP3 Downloads - Devin Townsend Music Downloads - Devin Townsend Music Videos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Yes, Townsend provides downtuned guitar and chugging guitar, but he also provides a lot of gloss and brightness--the sort of gloss and brightness that ‘70s and ‘80s arena rockers brought to the studio.
		The fact that Townsend's credits includes Steve Vai and Front Line Assembly tells you how far-reaching and eclectic he is, and it also explains how he manages to make a blend of ‘70s/'80s arena rock/pop-metal and ‘90s/2000s alterna-rock sound so logical and coherent on this excellent CD.
		I bought Infinity by Devin Townsend first and had been playing that for weeks when i stumbled uppon this album.

		In between, Townsend worked on a series of projects with Front Line Assembly, and in 1995 issued the solo Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing under the alias Strapping Young Lad.

	Strapping Young Lad Interview
		Townsend has stared as guest guitarist and vocalist with some of industrial’s greatest names (Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, Unit 187), not to mention perfecting the “Wall of Sound” effect.
		Devin: Love seems to be something that things are done in the name of it that are just so contrary to what the purpose of it is.
		Devin: Yeah, nor do I. Nor do I! It’s just because more than anything else, Strapping is like a reflection of things because I'm just a scared little middle classed kid from Canada but I turn on the news and I get terrified.

	InsideOut Music America
		I need that time of light when I can put the dark in and vice-versa, so the Devin Townsend Band is the antithesis to Strapping Young Lad.
		The emotional imbalance Townsend describes is just one of the many facets of the man’s deep and involved work.
		Townsend’s concluding remark towards the album may come as a surprise for many of those who have followed metal’s resident madman throughout the years, but sincerity rings aloud on Synchestra, as does Townsend’s hopes for his audience.

	InternetEd Reviews: Devin Townsend- Terria (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This project sees songwriting genius Devin Townsend taking his music in a slightly different direction.
		Like Devin's Ocean Machine, this record focuses on melody rather than brutality (which is reserved for Townsend's Strapping Young Lad band) and the effect is amazing.
		In other words: Devin Townsend is absolutely brilliant and the Terria record only further proves this to be true.

		According to Townsend's official site, www.hevydevy.com, the two albums will be released at the same time, presumably on the musician's own label HevyDevy Records, a label repsonsible for releasing the massive Terria effort.
		Townsend will be recording both efforts at his newly built studio, which is said to feature a "monster new computer system" to he'll record pre-production material.
		"Devin is rehearsing twice a day, first with Byron, Jed, and Gene then another for the second project with drummer Scotty McCargar, who you may remember as a former SYL keyboardist, and guitarist Brian Waddell who Devin has been playing with since he was 15," a post on the Townsend's website said.

	Devin Townsend - Terria - review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Devin Townsend has managed to create another masterpiece in his line-up of an already astonishing carrier as a singer, guitarist and songwriter.
		Beside his Industrial metal band Strapping Young Lad (where brutality is of the essence) Devin also has a softer and melodic side which he perfectly expressed in projects like Ocean Machine and Infinity.
		Devin Townsend did beside the lyrics also all the guitar parts together with keyboards and samples.

	BLABBERMOUTH.NET - DEVIN TOWNSEND Says New STRAPPING YOUNG LAD Album Will Have 'Different Aesthetic'
		Devin: "I think 'Alien' was a necessary album in my career for a number of reasons.
		It was originally a song for THE DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND, but then as I was ready I thought, 'No, no, this is too heavy.' And also the song 'Pixillate' from THE DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND started originally as something I was gonna write for STRAPPING.
		I remember Devin bashing bold and old men with their mullets back in '95 and now he has one as well.

		Devin's sound is hard to categorise if you're a music mong like me, so I won't bother to try.

		Unfortunately, there aren't any mp3 samples of this album on the Devin Townsend website, but there's a Devin Townsend myspace here http://www.myspace.com/devintownsenddtb which has tracks from four of his albums, including the new one.

		With this outfit, Devin shows his lighter side, with a more experimental-rock based sound.
		Townsend’s vocals are great and I actually caught myself trying to get some of those high notes out.
		Dev-fans can just go out and get this, and if you never heard something from The Devin Townsend Band, this might be the record for you because there must be something on it that you will love and there is very little to dislike.
