The Devin Townsend Project Announces European Tour 2011

After announcing 6 UK dates for coming March 2011 already, The Devin Townsend Project now announces a full blown European tour which will see the band playing 25 shows in 13 different countries. Mr Townsend, being hard at work to put the final touches to the upcoming albums ´Ghost´ and ´Deconstruction´ (both tentatively scheduled for a May release), commented:

“After another busy, busy, year, we have set ourselves up for an even busier one… and to be honest, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have just recently finished Ghost (record 4, the mellow one) and am currently up to my balls in Deconstruction (record 3, the heavy one… for which we are using the Prague Symphony Orchestra to make more ridiculous than it really needs to be :) and I’ve yet to get my goddamn garage cleaned, so yeah… things are busy. I love it.

So I’d like to announce a European tour… it will be the first tour of many we are doing in 2011 and it starts March 3rd in the UK. It hits a bunch of spots in Europe, including some places I’ve never played but have always wanted to. I’m really, really, excited to play again, and we will bring new music as well as some special acoustic performances. The people who support it have been so gracious that it’s a real pleasure to announce this. See you next year guys! I’ll bring my gnarliest teeth and lumpiest head!”

The band is set to perform a mixture of tracks from all four DTP albums and the Dutch and Finns will get a real treat as long time friend and main guest vocalist on 2009´s ´Addicted´ record, Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering) will be joining the band on the last four dates of the tour to share vocal duties with Devin.

Tickets will go on sale coming Friday, December 10th.

Deconstruction Update 1

Ok, here we go… the nerdfest of epic proportions has begun! There are 2 drummers on this one, Ryan Van Poederooyen for the crushing stuff, and Dirk Verbueren for the inhuman stuff. This is a record I have been working up to for some time, and while doing it, I realize that not only am I in control of it (totally) but that this newfound control allows me to take it to places I would have never been able to a decade ago. I pretty much believe that this will be one of our finest hours, and although there is some funny moments, it’s a pretty ‘pointed’ record (if ya know what I mean)…

Anyways, any stuff you hear on these clips are either demos with drum machine, scratch vocals and demo guitars etc… but at least it illustrates the process in the beginning.

Stay tuned!
