I like the lighter side of Dev. When Ki was released, I found it to be a very refreshing break from his heavier stuff he was doing at the time. I've yet to hear Ghost or Deconstruction, so I look forward to those as well.

As to be expected, I'm pretty stoked about this release! Devin's recent interviews indicate he's been shying away from heavy music, which makes me a bit upset, but when I listen to Addicted I realize it can't be all that bad. If Epicloud is how he describes it, I'm really looking forward to it.

Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

Inexistence is the true normality.

DEVIN TOWNSEND Reveals Next Project - May 22, 2011
Canadian musician/producer Devin Townsend (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD,STEVE Townsend will release "Deconstruction" and "Ghost" � the third and fourth in a series of albums to be made available under DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT moniker � on June 21 (one day earlier internationally) viaInsideOut Music. "Deconstruction" and "Ghost" will complete his tetralogy album concept � a great journey through Devin's different states of musical moods � which he started in 2009 with the albums "Addicted" (2009) and "Ki"(2009). Townsend tapped Jens Bogren (OPETH, KATATONIA, PARADISE LOST,BLOODBATH) to mix "Deconstruction". The sessions took place in late February at Fascination Street studio in �rebro, Sweden. The CD features guest appearances by a number of well-known metal musicians as well as two drummers � Ryan Van Poederooyen (TERROR SYNDROME,THE DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND) for the "crushing stuff," and Dirk Verbeuren (SOILWORK, SCARVE, ABORTED) for the "inhuman stuff." A detailed track-by-track review of "Deconstruction" can be found atRadioMetal.com. A detailed track-by-track review of "Ghost" is available at this location. Devin previously described "Deconstruction" as "brutal in a lot of parts, but pretty glorious in others. It rides the fence of negativity but ultimately ends supremely positive." Even though "Ghost" is the fourth album to be made available underDEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT moniker, Devin recorded it third, because"Deconstruction" (the third album) was "a nightmare technically and I wanted to make something lovely before diving into that," Devinpreviously said. According to Devin, "'Ghost' is the mellowest (by far) and prettiest record I've done so far" with a "very wonderful vibe." Townsend has announced the first two special shows in U.K. for November 2011 for a unique DVD recording. On his recent mostly sold-out European (from blabbermouth.net)
