| The
Devin Townsend Band Unveils Synchestra
North American Tour Dates Scheduled Supporting
Opeth
Devin
Townsend is among the most respected and
admired musicians in hard music today. From
his extreme music juggernaut Strapping Young
Lad, to the experimental Ocean Machine,
Devin has made quite a name for himself
in the music business. The Devin Townsend
Band is Devin’s movement in a different
direction, and Synchestra, the second Devin
Townsend Band album, is a fine example of
what varied sounds such a talented musician
is capable of creating.
Synchestra
has a unique quality that allows each of
the songs to stand alone, but the sum is
even greater than its parts. Each song leads
seamlessly into the next, with an ebb and
flow of melodic and heavy parts that gives
the album an impressive fluidity. Starting
with the gentle, lilting tones of “Let
It Roll” to the crushing midsection
of “Hypergeek” to the spaced-out
vibe of “Triumph,” (which features
a stunning guest solo by six-string wizard
Steve
Vai) the album rolls off to an impressive
start. One of the highlights of Synchestra
is the intense lead single “Vampira,”
which will be added at metal and college
radio on January 30th and 31st. A video
for “Vampira” has also been
shot.
The
special edition package of Synchestra includes
bonus DVD of the band performing a “best
of” set live in the studio.
