About the show
DEVIN TOWNSEND TO SWEDEN FOR TWO CONCERTS!
Devin Townsend is a force of nature in the metal world. With 25(!) album releases since the mid-90s, the Canadian has become one of the biggest – and a huge favorite among Swedish metal fans.
As a singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Devin Townsend has an impressive CV – with Lightwork as the next planned release. Next year, Devin returns to Sweden!
After a long wait and longing to perform again, Devin Townsend can finally present his new tour – which coincides with the release of the album “Lightwork” (spring 2022). An album that Devin Townsend is recording with GGGarth Richardson at The Farm Studios (Vancouver) and is being mixed by Joe Baressi.
About the album, Devin himself has said:
“I think I’m writing an album, unexpectedly, called Lightwork that is abstract and a stream of conscious. Still significantly far away from anything, but it’s determinedly taking shape. It’s been odd though, as every record is a reflection of the time it was conceived. And this is clearly a weird time. It’s strange, abstract, meandering and weird. If I try to curb it and write something more disciplined, it would be a dumb rehash of stuff I’m clearly bored of. So I follow this where it wants to go.”
He continues:
“I suppose considering the strange unique intensity of this period, it makes perfect sense when I hear it. Anyways, the next album will be called Lightwork and though it’s still being discovered, it’s a weird, alien sounding, effervescent, sunny load of oddness. Visually, I see a weird kind of muted Winnie The Pooh type landscape with endless processions of characters, objects, people, creatures etc wandering from one side of the page to the other – an endless parade of dissimilar things, and just kind of watching them go by.”
Something completely unique and something extraordinary is definitely to be expected. Just like many previous releases from the man behind Devin Townsend, Devin Townsend Project, Casualties of Cool, Strapping Young Lad, and much much more.
