DEVIN TOWNSEND To Guest On Tonight's 'Talking Metal Live'

July 21, 2009

Acclaimed Canadian musician/producer Devin Townsend (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, STEVE VAI, LAMB OF GOD, DARKEST HOUR, GWAR),THE FLOOD and THE TREWS will be the featured guests on tonight's (Tuesday, July 21) episode of "Talking Metal Live". Hosts Mark Strigl and John Ostronomy will also be joined by "Talking Metal on Fuse" announcer Bud Friendly and VH1 "metal expert" Eric Bohnensteil.

The program can be heard live from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST at this location.

"Ki", the first in a series of albums from Devin Townsend to be made available under the DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT moniker, was released in Europe on May 25 in North America on June 19 via InsideOut Music.

In a world of increasing conformity and musical banality, Devin Townsend is among the few real personalities who have character, charisma and surprising innovative creativity. As a solo artist and producer, leader of the (by now disbanded) STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, with whom he played Ozzfest and the main stage at the Download festival, and vocalist on Steve Vai's album "Sex And Religion", Townsend has always inspired fans and critics alike.

Commented Townsend: "'Ki' is the first in a series of four albums under the moniker 'DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT.' Each album is essentially a different band or collection of session musicians playing my music. They were chosen based on what the theme of the album is and the vibe that the album is trying to project. The album 'Ki' is very specific in this quartet of albums in that it controls its anger throughout, barring one song — 'Heaven Send' — and really is an exercise in having little to prove."
