Devin Townsend Project have announced the release of their new studio album 'Transcendence' for 2nd September 2016 worldwide.
Devin comments on the new album: "Transcendence, like every record I've done prior, is an extension of what's been going on in my world, represented in a new batch of songs. I'm 44 years old now, and this is where I have been over the past two years since Z2."
The follow-up to 2014's 'Z2' double-album (half of which was made up of the DTP full-length 'Sky Blue'), sees the Townsend exploring a relatively new way of working, collaborating with the entire DTP band during the writing stages of the record.
"The result of this process is a record that I truly think the intention of is special" he says of the album. "I 'found' gas to put into the tank and am glad I did. I think the intention, the theme, and the participation of everyone involved allows this album to act like a fulcrum between the past few years and what I intend to do next with the symphony. I am very proud of it and everyone involved."
The artwork was once again created by Anthony Clarkson, who Devin has been working with for several years now. Townsend comments of the cover (above): "He presented me the main image of the girl as a painted version, and I was intrigued and asked him to redo it with a girl he knew with photos. I liked the idea that it seemed like a mash up of religious and spiritual imagery, in a sense, representing the idea (to me) that these types of connections to the infinite are often more like identities we can cling to rather than what lies behind. In a sense, the character on the front almost seems like the ideologies she's representing are more 'brand names' than anything else."
Devin Townsend Project has also announced a USA & Canada 'Transcending The Coma' tour to coincide with the album's release, which will see them co-headline with Between The Buried & Me with main support offered on all dates by Fallujah.

The last 2 years since the release of 'Z2' have seen Devin busier and more ambitious than ever, culminating last November in the release of 'Ziltoid Live At The Royal Albert Hall', a document of their sold-out show at the famous London venue, that saw them bring the Ziltoid story to life on stage in his most impressive production yet.
More information in the coming weeks!
