Lot of talent in this band. Not a lot of hair, but a lot of talent.
Ageing is the process by which hair is converted into talent :)
#Bring back the skullet
Lol
the hair-to-talent ratio is greatly exaggerated and overrated
Bro, trust me, Devin Townsend with hair is terrifying. Back in his days with Strapping Young Lad he looked like a cave troll.
26 Jan 2024. 47 years in existence. When I thought I have heard everything of Metal, I found this. Speechless..
its like really loud Enya
15 Jul 2024. 25 years.
my friend's little daughter listened to this song and said "wow, this music is so huge!"
Hope I have kids like that one day.... my greatest fear: Pop-Music-Loving children xD
VukohodNihili she couldn’t have been more accurate, so damn huge this is
Out of the mouths of babes.
VukohodNihili great description!
It's called a "wall of sound" - very few bands get it right, but it's magical when it works.
The first time I heard that term was with Blind Guardian's "A Night at the Opera" album (particularly "And Then There Was Silence") - it's more common with European Prog-Metal, but Devin Townsend and Symphony X stand out among Western Hemisphere contributors.
Who else got goosebumps listening to this?
Zoe Binet all of my hairs! Not just on my neck haha
Every time
Me!
I'm overwhelmed with emotions when I listen!
If you haven't listened to Deadhead you need too.
TIIIMMMEE IS A HUMAN CONTRUCT!!!!! 😱
Why are you so shocked about that saying??im just curious? lol seems like it’s the first time you ever heard it before?
Genuinely regret not having gotten into Devin Townsends music earlier. The past few weeks I've just went down a rabbit hole of awesome music and discovering all the past albums. Can't even express how great it's been
100% same for me now
Mee too!!
CHECK OUT ORBIT CULTURE FOR NEW MUSIC
Minidooey Gaming I literally found him today. This is song #3. I’m in tears....blown the fuck away.
Justin Norris have you listened to Empath yet?
I think that we can seriously make the following dichotomy: Life before and after listening to Devin Townsend.
My greatest accomplishment of 2019: Discovering Devin Townsend
My biggest regret of 2019: Not discovering Devin Townsend sooner!
Absolutely mesmerized by his music, i just cant stop listening to it.
It manages to pull me out of despair. As I wrote to a friend yesterday: this music is not just uplifting, it's ripping me out of there, trebuchet style.
I found him purely by accident in, I think, 2015. Best musical accident of my life.
Same here. He's so damn manipulative with those chord changes. Damn you Devin Townsend you genius bastard!!
Same! I am listening to it now. And maybe we can both make this next tour. I have my ticket.
Feel the same way
This band proves that the soul of music is not yet dead.
Thank you Tom Caine! I'm so sick of hearing ignorant, stupid comments such as this one... I mean the shit doesn't even make sense, so devin townsend project is the only good band left period? Fuck outta here, hes amazing but so are other musicians and other people. Also plenty and I mean plenty of other musicians keep "the soul"(hippie) of music alive... sorry I didnt mean to be harsh but it's this kind of talking that I feel is making people more dumb.
It's soul music guys because he says your soul throughout
I literally choked up when I read your comment. U nailed it
I completely agree....when I found this I said the exact same thing....in fact....I like this stuff better than anything I've ever heard i think
@MorbidManMusic couldn't agree more.
I'm in jazz school and I discover something new and exciting every day,to the point where I barely have the time to listen to even a part of it
This is life-metal
@3:59 - that transition from "Your Soul!!!!!!!" to the "whoooooaaaaaaa" + the hurricane scene is just perfect. Hard to put into words. I get chills everytime 🔥🔥🔥
Chills man
Same! So damn good.
Well, that was fucking amazing.
I'll always love Devy's "wall of sound" production. It's just a wave of beauty crashing against you
He hits you with gorgeous beautiful sounds then follows it up with brutal screams. Perfect combination.
I'm so glad this man exists. What a gift to humanity.
The first time I saw devin do this song live, I could feel my soul try to leave my body to become part of the music. It was fucking intense.
That’s beautiful sister!!!
His music is just transcendental.
Never too late :]
This sounds like metal enya
Good call!
This had been his initial idea in general, so - mission successful
I never thought about it like that!
Even more so with the new track, "Spirits will collide".
Thats funny. In a recent interview with Ola Englund he said his influences were somewhere between Enya and Myrkskog
Did anyone interpret this video as I did? My wife recently told me she no longer loves me (yeah I know, sob story). The lyrics are very suggestive of losing someone. He talks about memories and using time to navigate those memories, lying to yourself, and offering yourself; your love. The video shows a boy and girl fighting desperately to find beauty, to find life. They're in a dead world but together they attempt to better they're environment. By doing so, their world crumbles. Everything they've known, everything around them is destroyed. They hold tight to eachother as the storm worsens and just as it seems they can take no more or that they may die, the storm breaks and life blossoms around them. Beauty and meaning now cover their once desolate world and lives. Best part of the video is when they hug eachother at the end with those big smiles on their faces. They made it. All of that struggle and fear was well, well worth it. I see this video as a message of hope- don't give up. Battle the storms and eventually, no matter how hard it becomes, it will pay off. This song and video are perfect together regardless of how you interpret them.
I'm having my morning coffee with tears streaming down my face right now from the song alone. This comment just hit me like a train. Beautiful analysis bro, I feel it.
Musical genius
If churches played this music, I would go every Sunday.
I discovered Devin 4 days ago, and he's already delivered me more chills than all of my life experiences of the past decade combined. Yes, I need to get out more, but still...what utterly astounding music!
Just discovered him today. I'm 38 and have listened to rock and metal for decades. My wife must have been cutting onions while I was watching this because my eyes starting watering.
I feel bad for your wife
I loved strapping young lad. One day I was at FYE doing my usual by everything I see thing and I swear Terria by Devin Townsend and was like oh cool, fuck it, bought it. Little did I know that I was going to be blown the fuck out of my seat through the entire album. So I did the most logical thing and went back the next day and told my buddy that I needed to exchange a few of the albums I had bought and didn't open for everything Devin Townsend they had. I was in luck, they had Ocean Machine, Phycisist, and Accelerated Evolution had like just come out. Scooped up all 3. Went home and just binged on Devin for like 4 weeks straight.
Jesus my spelling was awful Buying* and saw instead of swear.
@@R0B3RTP4UL50N don't be frettin aboot your spelling Jev, Dev don't mind. been watching by a thread today for the first time. boom me shanka, ravi.
Well this song just made me cry, all good
I cried the first 5 times i listened to this song, and i never cried hearing a song ever!
just found this man in 2023 wtf have i been missing. big dream theater fan saw that he was touring with them and the rick beato interview. this man is a genius
amazing just amazing devin
That’s me rn 😂
Me too! I just saw him on the Dream Theatre, Animals as Leaders tour. He absolutely blew me away.
It's an actual tragedy this man is not more well known
Lyrics:
Time is a human construct, and you were below the waves
Time after time, July was in her eyes
But if you lie, you lie to your soul
Your soul let it fly
I remember the rainy days in Chinatown
Oh, I hope you'll be okay
Time after time, July was in her eyes
But if you lie, you lie to your soul
All we're offering is a chance to be loved
Thank you!
Every time i cry, it really touches ur
soul, waaauuwww, music at its best!
Beautiful 🤩🤗😎!!!
Wow very minimal but impactful lyrics…that could be construed in your own mind for a lost love
Una verdadera obra de arte, propia de un verdadero genio !
God, just the WAY he sings “time is a human construct”… it’s something else.
This is the closest I've ever seen to finding the "opposite of a big hair band" ... literally and figuratively.
I looked up the word 'Epic' in the Oxford English Dictionary today, and it simply said:'Stormbending'.
I found this three days ago... WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!!!!
Please watch the Royal Albert Hall performance of Funeral, Bastard and Death of Music.
Well, here for the last three years anyway
Damn, it's been a long time since I saw a music video that I liked that much. This song still gives me chills
check the video for low lands by gojira
feels like a good old creed video :D
right? My thoughts exactly :D
Check the video for Silver by Gojira.
Hakens "Visions" will blow you away.
Best talent in known universe. Underated is understatement
I am going through getting sober. And THIS IS what I'm listening to. I can't stop crying 😢
This isn't a song.....
This...... is a passage into another life.
So amazing. How is he constantly making great music... It's totally unfair.

mb i'm an idiot, but i rly can't get into his music, it's so boring and flat
Phallus Dei I wouldn't say so. It's just not you cup of tea maybe. I don't always feel like listening to his band either. Sometimes I just get in the mood for something that I can just put on and let my mind drift. Devin can usually make that happen for me
Phallus Dei I wouldn't say it's flat and boring. Townsend is writing very complex harmonies an he is a musical genius. I need to give him credits for his talent. But on the other hand I can absolutely understand you. I like a few songs of him, but there is a lot of stuff I don't appreciate. The problem you have is the one I have with Dream Theatre. In my opinion they are caring too much about the technical aspects and so loosing any feeling for emotions in their music.
Can't believe no one knows who Chris zoupa is wow twice wow wow
If Hollywood is ever going to do a series of proper ''Dune'' movies ,Devin would be perfect to compose the soundtrack for it.I mean seriously,this here is epic,beyond human recognition.
Imagine something like this,playing while Paul Atreides is riding the sandworm,into battle against the Harkonnen army.
I seriously doubt they are capable of making Dune movies "proper". Too long, too complicated - from regular viewer's perspective. The saga is a masterpiecie, though.
The mini series from 2000 (right?) was good enough, imo.
The one true Dune movie that should have been made was torn apart by Hollywood. So fuck Hollywood's version even if they do one that isn't complete shit. They destroyed a sci-fi movie that would have outshone Star Wars before its time. Jodorowski's Dune. Watch the documentary on that one, and you will completely understand.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodorowsky's_Dune
Soultrip89 Oh,I've seen the documentary about this lunatic's failed movie.Trust me,the ''Dune''-fans would have hunted him down,with pitchforks and torches and propably,made him eat the book,page by page.We should thank Hollywood,for shutting him down.
Fuck that noise, Hollywood ruined a great artistic expression. It wouldn't have been the same Dune, but at least it wouldn't be the garbage one Hollywood shat after they ruined his idea piece by piece.
Just when I thought music was dead I discovered Townsend. The range and quality of his music has blown my mind.
You got my attention with this very record, Mr. Townsend. Thank you for recording and releasing it! It's the only one that makes me feel like crying of passion, joy and longing but I guess that's exactly the point! Devin Townsend, an exceptional artist, writer and singer, especially the latter!!!
I bow before you!
Bow down to the greatest musician ever. Thanks for your music Devin
💯💯💯
This song, words cannot do justice, feel so very lucky to be alive to hear it.
Don’t mind me, just here on my yearly Devin rabbithole.
I love the HUGE sound! Turn it up to 11.
Dude. Am I the only one witch chills and tears at 4:00 ?! every ficking time.
Lucía Lidia Ruiz de Galarreta Nope. You're not the only one.
That change is always such a surprise. We feel that it can't get any bigger but it does. It's like the universe expanding.
Nope, not the only one for sure.
Awesome, sends you to your deepest and most pure feeling of self.
Hits me every time. His change in vocal range is absolutely incredible.
3 years.. i just cried again hahaha i fuking love you , devin
You know the easiest way to tell that Devin is a fantastic musician?
He can shred with the best, and usually doesn't.
Just discovered this band. They are so amazing!
It's not really a band, it's Devin and the musicians play his music.
Welcome to the club🍺👊
Only downside is every other artist sounds inferior after discovering Devin
Been listening since strapping young lads. You won't be disappointed.
welcome to another level of music
omg. welcome
I've listened to TOOL ALMOST exclusively for over 10 years. Yes..10 years. No radio, flips and flops here and there to some classic rock and even traveled through some other random music but I simply couldn't find anything as deep as TOOL. So TOOL it was for over 10 years. 10 loooooooong years of waiting to find a band that had some depth in their orchestration and composition of music, lyrics, passion and emotion. Then I found DTP and...now?.. I am free!! I am freeeeee!! I absolutely love this band! Totally amazballs! Thank you DTP for breathing life into my ears once more!
Devin Toolsend.
Exactly
You listened to the same band exclusively for 10 years? Damn that's sad.
@@toprak3479 that's what happens when you become part of the TOOL army.. the bar is so darn high that it's hard to find anything else that can satisfy the intensity and depth of the kind of music that moves you in all different directions.
@@UgrevsBoots It seems like you need to search more. Have you tried bands like Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Riverside, Haken or other modern prog rock / prog metal bands? A lot of Tool fans enjoy these bands too. Or maybe it's a mindset thing. Maybe you're expecting other bands to top Tool at what Tool is good at and not appreciating them for their own unique things they bring onto the table.
unearthly music & deeply astonishing video!
very special comment here, especially from you guys, your music's unearhly too!!
AlienOrchestraOfficial "astonishing" TRIGGERED
Found Devy just about 5 months ago im like .... how ? just amazing, thank you Mr. Townsend.
Never heard a band like this. Not comparable to any other. Devin is unmatched.
I can never get over how perfect this song is
It's.. ACCELERATED EVOLUTION!!!
Wykydtron The Faceless?
Dev did an album titled Accelerated Evolution back in 2003 (shit hot album btw!). Good call though, I fucking love The Faceless!
Wykydtron from Storm to Stormbending ;)
I just discovered Accelerated Evolution a few weeks ago, awesome album from start to finish, but nothing can top Synchestra I guess
Wykydtron Ocean machine, infinity, terria, accelerated evolution... All in the same clip.
A perfect song.
Great power and beauty in everything this amazing artist creates. I love him. Can’t wait for his next Canadian tour.
Can't believe this song is 7 years old already
This is one of the most gorgeous albums ever made
Seeing Devin live this weekend. Haven’t been this excited for a concert almost ever. He’s a musical genius. Thank you for your tunes Devin! What a gift you have given us all
And for 30 years now! Hevy Devy🤘🏻
Hope they didn't screw it up with the subwoofers. Have seen DTP twice, and both times the awesome vocals, guitar, and keyboards were washed out by the bass and drums. So very sad.
@@curtiscoker6954 I’m sorry to hear it wasn’t a good experience. But they didn’t screw it up thankfully. It was an amazing performance and I got to be in spitting distance. He’s a force of nature and was having such a good time. He seems like a lovely fellow
I've never really been into metal, but the instrumentation and vocals in this song are incredible.
Devin is in his own orbit.
You'd be surprised how many amazing metal bands are out there with a massive sound much like this
Song: 5/5
Video: 5/5
Baldness: 3/5
surely your album sounds "fantastic" :)
Baldness👌

Shoukd have been 2 of 5. 3 of them have hair, 2 do not.
@@tasbikhan626 No, good comment
This.. is literally a dream I've had all my life. The tornadoes, the upheaving ground, the grey dreariness being swept into utter annihilation.. Chilling and beautiful.
How does somebody have a big enough brain to make a song like this? That moment at 2:26 where that wailing guitar kicks in. Chilllllssss
Eu amo esse cara
¿Disfrutas mis canciones?🎶
I just saw this video for the first time recently after not hearing any Devin for at least 2 years. I cried. I wept with happiness and joy. I dont know how one man can encapsulate what it feels like to be human with music so well. God has blessed this man with a power, he holds a key to the mind. I love you Devin, thank you.
Just discovered this song (and Devin), absolutely EPIC....! =)
It's been 6 months...this is still my favourite song of all time.
Why isn't this artist more well-known? Simply superb.
Imagine a Halo game made by bungie again and the theme song is made by Devin Townsend... :'I
That would actually make sense since Steve Vai worked on the Halo theme, too.
This song makes me remember the rainy days in Chinatown
To be honest this was not my favorite song from the new album, but this video actually overwhelmed me with emotions.. I feel so overwhelmed.. It gave new life to the song for me
Feel the same
The first time I heard this song and the first time the chorus came up, I got choked up. As the song went on and the chorus came up again, the tears came. It still hits me, though, not as hard as that first time.
Well, glad I am not the only one reacting that way. It just pulls out your emotions so well.
It was already my favorite but hearing it live made it even more favoriter.
Canadian musician destroys city. No one complains due to awesomeness. Kids hug.
I honestly didn't understand why Devin was so great for so many years. learning that was honestly life changing.
This song makes me cry everytime.
but why?
So beautiful. It takes a lot of listens on some of these to stop effecting me, but even then it'll still catch me off guard.
George Clinton it was getting my shit all emotional too... its fucking moving to say the least!
yup this got me too..cheerz
Lady Raven because not many songs can reach into your soul. That’s why.
this reminds me the Transdermal Celebration video.
Amazing!!!
Glad I'm not the only one who feels like this!
Same here! It also reminded me of WallE XD
Never knew of the song until I heard the cove of itr on this latest DTP album. I just checked out the animated video for the original Ween song and there certainly is similarities. Thanks for the info!
Watched this on old phone & basic apple ear buds
Still got misty eyed 😅
What an onslaught. Masterpiece.
One of the greatest musicians ever!!! Been a Devin fan since 94 and he is still pushing limits!! Masterpiece song!!
as a music and weather nut ( especially tornadoes) i have to say that this easily in the top 3 things i've ever heard and witnessed in my life. i cried like a little bitch and i couldn't give a fuck because it was worth it. thank you so much for this gift you've given us. i'll never forget it!
Chris Kirchner you. are. a baby. baby in denial.
"1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations."
I hadnt realized this had such an awesome music video to it though, serious props that was epic!
2:00 Dev tried to do an epic headbanging trick, but forgot he shaved off the skullet nearly a decade ago. lol
Ha. Nice pick up. What was he thinking?!
Jesse Valdiviez probably his way of sneaking some silly antics into a video that is overall more serious.
+Mitchell Gillett
Come on dude. We're going for the cheap laughs here. Get on board!
BigRamifications :(
Yeah Mitchell
Omg what an epic song. I keep playing it over and over again. Such a fan.
Twenty years ago I used to listen to Devin when I was making costumes cos it made me sew faster. Now I'm writing books and he helps me type faster!!! Just one of those legends that keeps giving.
This man never fails to amaze. Been a fan for more than a decade. I liked SYL too but his solo work is where it's really at.
he had alot of problems with depression and anxiety. This song is about overcoming and not letting it define who you are. The first time i saw this video i couldnt help but cry a little because i too suffer from it. It made me realise that i conatantly let it beat me time after time. This song finally made me say i have a problem and i need help. So i went to therapy and got a psychiatrist and found out my ADHD had gotten worse, and my low energy and motivation was causing these problems. Since then i have been on Adderall and with work and persistence im starting to crawl out of the cave i dug and feel like im seeing the sun for the first time in years. It all started with this song. Thank you Devin for telling me exactly what i needed to hear.
The way I can't help but close my eyes and get choked up during key parts of this. This man speaks to my absolute core. Just absurdly powerful.
Came back again. I love you all. Anyone listening to this, just know that you are loved and appreciated
This man's music leaves me in awe at times...and brings so much joy to my musical soul. Been a fan forever... since Sex and Religion with Steve Vai came out in 93'. His growth has been a wonderful and joyous journey to enjoy and experience. My favorite individual musician for the last 25 years.
I knew a couple of Townsend songs, but today i got some free time, and listened to some more of his songs... I haven't got excited with "new" music for a while.. I fucking love his music. Is the perfect combination of classic, dreamy and dark. 🖤🖤🖤😭
What a gem this is.
the glory of God in a song.
This is epic. I have tears in my eyes whenever I watch it.
great song ! love it! hello From Moldova! Devin Townsend Project rocks!
How many people here can say that they owe Devin Townsend a personal debt for his gift of awesome music?
THIS is how a mix is done: everything's a musical instrument, yes even the lead vocals - no need for them to overpower anything else. EPIC! 🤘😎
Wow. That was powerful :)
Man, it's tough to look cool with a keyboard.
I think mike always looks cool ^^
That's because he didn't tilt them. Jens Johansson does and he looks *the most badass*
jordan rudess
Jake where
ask Janne Wirman how even with nerd hair he rocked a keyboard in the olden days of Bodom.
I'm 42 and have listened to metal since I was a boy and am NOW getting into Dev's stuff. I first heard Kingdom which I loved and now Stormbending is my favourite. What a song! Such power and feel it has. Cheers!
What Linus said-with I listened to skater punk and stoner metal (Fu Manchu!!). Amazing, Genius level work by DTP.
I've been listening to Devin for 15 to 20 years and I'm pretty sure this is my favorite song of his
Wow... This is awesome. I've loved Devin's music since I first heard Ocean Machine years ago. This definitely gave me chills all over again.
This brought tears to my eyes. Just recently discovered this amazing man's talent, and I have never felt more blown away by music. It wasn't just my heart that felt this but my soul as well. God gave this man an awe inspiring set of pipes.
Prepare yourself for a wonderful journey
@@danieltr5204 I'm enjoying it so far! Some rock bands I like sound soft after hearing Devin.
@@an0ana yes! Just the same happened to me. Something changes when you hear this genius
@Devin Townsend Appreciate the comment, but if you were the real Devin Townsend you'd be replying from your official page. Thanks for the smile though. It did give me a boost thinking that Devin really did comment. Have an awesome day ♥
@Devin Townsend No argument there; Devin does seem very down to earth as well as quite different than 99% of celebrities. I've seen Devin interact with fans, but not on youtube. Small bit of interaction with him with fans on instagram. I still appreciate your sentiment, however. ♥
Dude, I was today years old when I realized that "I remember the rainy days in Chinatown" is a reference to Deep Peace from Terria. On the Metal Archives, the lyrics list "(inside the picture of the huge sterile black and white diner on a rainy Sunday afternoon in Chinatown)" for the place where the solo occurs. It's possible Sunday Afternoon off of Accelerated Evolution may even be referencing that: "... on a rainy Sunday afternoon."
All three songs have a very similar vibe. Evidently, they're all referring to the same event Devin is talking about here. I absolutely LOVE when artists refer back to their older material like that.
Please watch the live version he did recently for NHS. His performance was absolutely beautiful.
What kind of rock have I been living under, that I'm only just discovering Devin Townsend project
A friend from grade school just told me about him today. I am not surprised that music THIS GOOD slipped under my radar. A few years ago i listened to Cocteau Twins after hearing of them a few years prior. Listening to "Lazy Calm" for the first time, knowing its been around for awhile is simultaneously heaven & major culture shock.
