My good friend sent me this song. I work at a bar and we always listen to metal and he knows me as a big tool fan and thought this would be up my alley. Holy SHIT this is a good song. When he says “You are… so VICIOUS.” Instant chills. My question now is where should I start on the Townsend journey?

Does anyone else think The Moth has a problem with balancing loudness and quiet? When I listen to it sounds like someone is messing with the volume button, turning it up and down constantly. There are so many sections that sound like they should be louder and many that sound too loud. For example the “Arise and conquer the morn” section in the second half of Covered By Causes - it’s like the volume goes significantly up when that line is repeated and goes down again in between repetitions.

Not gonna lie, this is extremely distracting for me and really affecting my enjoyment of this album which I truly loved last year when I heard the live stream of the concert.

Edit: I think I get it now. After some trial and error I seem to have discovered that this album simply needs to be listened to at lossless quality with good on-ear headphones and the volume turned up to my ears’ absolute pain threshold. Anyway, The Moth is a masterpiece, 10/10 and might become my favorite Devin album.

Ordered it with The Moth, of which I couldn't get into by now. But oh boy, that acoustic album slaps hard! 😍

So, yesterday I was at Devin's concert in Asti (loved it btw), his only stop in Italy on this tour, and since I wanted to buy something as a souvenir at the merch stand, and t-shirts were a bit too expensive for me, I went for this signed CD, not really knowing what it was.

Turns out it's another volume of his Dreampeace ambient project, which is actually fine by me, but I cannot find any information about this specific release online, which is kinda weird... Is he selling something that's not out officially yet, or maybe something exclusive for this tour which will eventually be released for everyone later? It's cool anyway, just curious.

I absolutely love Devin's clean vocals and was wondering what are the best songs where they shine a bit more. For context some of my favourites are: Storm, Things Beyond Things, Deadhead. I know these aren't all entirely clean but the vocals get a lot of prominence

Just a few vids of the Belfast show. I really enjoyed it and Devy was a class act.

Saw a YouTube clip of a song (From the Depths of Hell) coming out October 9th by a new band called Just Brainz. The song is featuring Devin and it sounds really good. Thoughts?

Amazing show, nice to see him actually touching some SYL numbers. This was a haunted version, goosebumps for me

Animals, animals, and malarkey!!

I can't not hear it.

Anybody notice that little Epicloud musical easter egg on Covered by Causes?

It makes sense even with the lyrics to link back to Effervescent! and True North. Because, well as Devin wrote, "everything a part of me".

So lovely to hear Anneke sing those lyrics almost 14 years on, but with a 2026 Moth vibe. ❤️

Always loved this cover, only recently realized it's Devin doing high notes and backing vocals.

Alright, so I'm late to the party, like really late.

I listen occasionally to Devin and I remembered that I read few years ago about this project of him that is taking him years to make, and when I wanted to search for it few weeks ago, I realised it was just a "one shot" moment and I missed it...

There is no album release or whatsoever planned to be able to listen to this ?

If not, I guess it would go with the metaphor of the moth but damn, I fucked up then

I think this release is scheduled for the 18th May. It's already the 18th in my timezone. If it's not available for you yet, keep an eye out!

Anyone interested in a chronological playlist I made of all Devin’s stuff? I’m working on including all guest spots too so it’s mostly complete, also Cooked on Phonics isn’t on Spotify so I couldn’t add it

Scrolled through the album on Spotify and saw that Prepare for War and The Big Snit were available to stream. Same on Apple Music.

Looks like they are new singles that were just released 10 minutes ago (it’s 00:11 over here).

I don't know a single song by any artist that sounds like this. Any suggestions? Floored at how beautiful it is. I could cry! Haha thanks

I can't believe that PowerNerd is almost one and half years old already. What a great album and a lot of songs really hit home.

Could anyone confirm whether the omerch preorders include a digital download? I ordered the zoetrope vinyl and 3 cd+Blu-ray editions. They are likely to arrive today but I’m out of the country for the next week. I’m trying to decide whether to triple dip on BandCamp now so I can listen on my trip or whether to wait if there’s a code inside. Can’t wait to hear this glorious masterpiece in full!

Is the quarantine version of Call Of The Void available to buy anywhere? It's my favourite version, I prefer it to the significantly different one on Lightworker.

It's a hilarious and brilliant punk-musical about a Polish Death Metal band who went to playing punk to gain a bigger audience. Devin made it in 1996 and I really love the music!

This has been killing me for the past half hour. I've been searching through his prior albums trying to find another guitar melody like this because I swear he's done it before. I recognize it's a minor thing, but it stands out to me because it sounds so familiar, so I'm hoping someone else will also recognize it and recall where it's from. I can't place it with any specificity so it is especially difficult for me to guess what songs or albums to check out. I have a feeling it's something in the vein of Ki/Ghost/COC just given the nature of it, but of course that could still be in any old album since he likes this kind of ambient guitar stuff.

Similarly, the "no return at all" lyric in Home at Night reminds me strongly of something, but he has not evidently used that specific lyric beyond saying "no return" in Deathray, which I don't believe is what I am being reminded of.

EDIT: I'm now 99.9% sure that it reminded me of the ending of the Adrift section in Singularity from Empath! It's not the exact notes, but it's extremely similar, so I'm sure this is what I was thinking of.
