Devin Towsend Band

Devin Townsend is a Canadian musician and record producer best known as the co-founder, vocalist and guitarist in extreme metal outfit Strapping Young Lad and The Devin Townsend Band. In 2007, Townsend disbanded both bands, in order to spend more time with his family and less time touring. Townsend's trademark production style, featuring a heavily multitracked wall of sound, has been compared to the styles of Phil Spector and Frank Zappa. His versatile vocal delivery ranges from screaming to singing, and his songwriting is similarly diverse in nature. Townsend's musical style is rooted in metal, and his albums are written to express different aspects of his personality. "Ki" is first album of his new project.
