Devin Townsend是才华横溢的吉它手兼主唱，他拥有自己的唱片公司，他担任过steve vai和Front Line Assembly的唱片制作，是加拿大的一位著名的音乐家和音乐制作人。他曾是极端金属乐队Strapping Young Lad（1994-2006）的创始人，在乐队中担任主唱、吉他和词曲作者。除了这只乐队，Devin更著名更辉煌的是他的个人音乐生涯，他是一位才华横溢的独立金属音乐人。 ountry of origin: Canada Location: Vancouver, British Columbia Status: Active Formed in: 1997 Genre: Progressive Metal, Ambient Lyrical themes: Humour, Life, Spirituality Current label: HevyDevy Records Years active: 1997-present Ocean Machine, The Devin Townsend Band, and Devin Townsend Project have their own pages. Accelerated Evolution and Synchestra were released as The Devin Townsend Band, and featured a steady line-up that also joined Devin on tour. The idea was to draw a firmer line between his solo material and Strapping Young Lad. When The Devin Townsend Band was active, Devin released two ambient albums under his own name. In May of 2007, at a press conference for Ziltoid the Omniscient, Devin announced that he had decided to put an end to The Devin Townsend Band and Strapping Young Lad, and not to tour again in the future. A few years later he formed Devin Townsend Project, which runs concurrent to this one, and returned to the live environment.
