At long last, Devin Townsend has announced the release details of his beyond-heavily-anticipated Z² album: it’ll be released October 28. As in, this year. As in, next month. As in, less than two months from now. As in, OMG!!!!!!!!!
AND this is in addition to Townsend’s http://www.metalsucks.net/2014/07/08/coming-2015-devin-townsends-ziltoid-musical/" rel="nofollow - previously announced Ziltoid musical, which will take place on April 13, 2015 at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Says Mr. Townsend himself:
“Hey all!
“So it’s been years I’ve been trying to get the energies in line to
do another Ziltoid record, and it’s finally happened! Z2 is my new
record, and it’s a multimedia event that has taken a ton of people a ton
of effort to bring to you! It’s a double album, (one side DTP, and one
side Ziltoid) and the concept expands on Ziltoid the alien, and his
sci-fi adventures in a way that kind of throws back to 50′s radio plays…
but obviously with complicated, heavy music as its soundtrack. It has
taken a great deal of energy to put this all together, and the music is
just one of the aspects of it. It’s a dream come true in a lot of ways,
and I’m excited and honoured to be able to finalize the project with a
live version of the entire record at the famous Royal Albert Hall in
London on April 13th of next year! (!!) Basically what we did with The
Retinal Circus a few years back will be taken to the next level with Z2
live.
“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! See you at the
show?”
“-Devin”
So, obviously, this is great news. October 28 cannot come soon enough.
Meanwhile, Townsend already has a co-headlining tour with Animals as Leaders booked for this fall! Get dates http://www.metalsucks.net/2014/08/05/devin-townsend-project-animals-leader-announce-co-headline-fall-tour/" rel="nofollow - here .
And we’ll let you know the second there’s some new Ziltoid music available for your listening pleasure. You know we will!!!

Cool. I'm not a huge fan of prog metal, but I am interested to see what Mr. Townsend's new album will be to follow up the first Ziltoid record.
