Perhaps my second favourite band next to pitchshifter, these crazy Cannucks infused extreme metal with industrial vibes for about 14 years, lead by the mad scientist of metal Devin Townsend. They've released a "best of" album, BUT, it comes with a DVD which incoludes their full performance at Download 2006 (which I was at, so it's now a must that I get this since they were easily one of the best bands of the whole weekend ... they were on early on Friday, great way to kick things off. I thought I might miss them because I had trouble getting in.) Here's a trailer for their best of album: And you can check out more music on their myspace www.myspace.com/strappingyounglad

"Heavy as a really heavy thing" is one of my favorites albums of all the time.

Check out the link FNS posted. "Mountain" and "Deadhead" are from the albums "Terria" and "Accelerated Evolution", which are my two favourite Devin Townsend Band albums.

Terria is one of my favourite albums by any artist. And Alien by SYL is often at the top of my list. DT is the only man to ever knock PSI off the top.
Got my copy of Ki ordered. Hopefully I was in the first 300 so I get it signed.

So I got the Chaos Years Best of. And although I've got all the tracks because of having most the albums anyway, the download footage and other videos make it worth the purchase alone.

'Ki' is up on Spotify already. Got my CD copy, signed by Devin himself. Woo! It's a fantastic album and 'Ki' the song is wonderful.

Nice I read Devin wants to work with different musicians for each release. Get in there Jason!
