The Devin Townsend Band Unveils Synchestra + tour[views:1803][posts:3]______________________________________ [Jan 12,2006 3:35pm - the_reverend ""] For Immediate Release: The Devin Townsend Band Unveils Synchestra North American Tour Dates Scheduled Supporting Opeth Devin Townsend is among the most respected and admired musicians in hard music today. From his extreme music juggernaut Strapping Young Lad, to the experimental Ocean Machine, Devin has made quite a name for himself in the music business. The Devin Townsend Band is Devin’s movement in a different direction, and Synchestra, the second Devin Townsend Band album, is a fine example of what varied sounds such a talented musician is capable of creating. Synchestra has a unique quality that allows each of the songs to stand alone, but the sum is even greater than its parts. Each song leads seamlessly into the next, with an ebb and flow of melodic and heavy parts that gives the album an impressive fluidity. Starting with the gentle, lilting tones of “Let It Roll” to the crushing midsection of “Hypergeek” to the spaced-out vibe of “Triumph,” (which features a stunning guest solo by six-string wizard Steve Vai) the album rolls off to an impressive start. One of the highlights of Synchestra is the intense lead single “Vampira,” which will be added at metal and college radio on January 30th and 31st. A video for “Vampira” has also been shot. The special edition package of Synchestra includes bonus DVD of the band performing a “best of” set live in the studio. A track listing for Synchestra includes: Let It Roll Hypergeek Triumph Babysong Vampolka Vampira Mental Tan Gaia Pixillate Judgement A Simple Lullaby Sunset Notes From Africa The Devin Townsend Band will be on tour in February 2006 with prog metal powerhouse Opeth and melodic death metal masters Dark Tranquility.
