Canadian musician/producer Devin Townsend (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, STEVE VAI, LAMB OF GOD, DARKEST HOUR, GWAR) will release "Deconstruction" and "Ghost" — the third and fourth in a series of albums to be made available under THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT moniker — in Europe on June 20 via InsideOut Music.



"Deconstruction" and "Ghost" will complete his tetralogy album concept — a great journey through Devin's different states of musical moods — which he started in 2009 with the albums "Addicted" (2009) and "Ki" (2009).



Townsend tapped Jens Bogren (OPETH, KATATONIA, PARADISE LOST, BLOODBATH) to mix "Deconstruction". The sessions took place late last month at Fascination Street studio in Örebro, Sweden. The CD features guest appearances by a number of well-known metal musicians as well as two drummers — Ryan Van Poederooyen (TERROR SYNDROME, THE DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND) for the "crushing stuff," and Dirk Verbeuren (SOILWORK, SCARVE, ABORTED) for the "inhuman stuff."



"Deconstruction" track listing:



01. Praise The Lowered (6:02)

02. Stand (9:36)

03. Juula (3:46)

04. Planet Of The Apes (10:59)

05. Summera (6:37)

06. The Mighty Masturbator (16:28)

07. Pandemic (3:29)

08. Deconstruction (9:27)

09. Poltergeist (4:25)



Guest musicians:



* Mikael Åkerfeldt (OPETH, BLOODBATH)

* Ihsahn (EMPEROR)

* Tommy Rogers (BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME)

* Joe Duplantier (GOJIRA)

* Greg Puciato (THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN)

* Floor Jansen (AFTER FOREVER, REVAMP)

* Oderus Urungus (GWAR)

* Paul Masvidal (CYNIC)

* Fredrik Thordendal (MESHUGGAH)



A detailed track-by-track review of "Deconstruction" can be found at RadioMetal.com.



Devin previously described "Deconstruction" as "fruital in a lot of parts, but pretty glorious in others. It rides the fence of negativity but ultimately ends supremely positive."



Even though "Ghost" is the fourth album to be made available under THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT moniker, Devin recorded it third, because "Deconstruction" (the third album) was "a nightmare technically and I wanted to make something lovely before diving into that," Devin previously said.



According to Devin, "'Ghost' is the mellowest (by far) and prettiest record I've done so far" with a "very wonderful vibe."



Devin Townsend recently confirmed via Twitter that he will tour the U.S. with CHILDREN OF BODOM in June.



Townsend has announced the first two special shows in U.K. for November 2011 for a unique DVD recording.



On his currently ongoing and mostly sold-out European tour, Devin is already performing some of the new material and if you have followed Devin through his career, you will know that he is always up for pushing the limits to higher levels. After finishing the tour at the end of March, and after releasing "Deconstruction" and "Ghost" in June, Devin Townsend will return to London U.K. in November 2011 to play a set of very special shows dedicated to his four-album concept and which will be captured live on DVD!

This thing can't come out soon enough. I don't think I've ever wanted an album as badly as I want this one.

[droidspawn]

this will be magnificent, fairly certainly.
