Devin Townsend Project streams new album

Strapping Young Lad member and Canadian metal visionary Devin Townsend is streaming his 15th solo album, Epicloud.

The album contains 13 tracks and features guest vocal appearances by Anneke van Giersbergen. Epicloud is due out September 18th in North America and September 24th in Europe, so we’re tipping a local release around that time too.

Speaking to Exclaim, Townsend has described the album’s songs as having "simpler, commercial structures".

"I wanted something catchy as the flu, but with a sentiment that is romantic, positive and beautiful. Spiritual without religion and set to heavy music. Again, because some structures are 'common' (but new to me) this record is my take on what a big, epic, commercial sounding record that sings about nice stuff would sound like in Dev-land," Townsend said.
