NEW DEVIN TOWNSEND MUSIC NEXT WEEK?

CORRECTION: Ghost is the fourth album in the series and Deconstruction the third. Thanks to commenter metallicbrain for pointing out my mistake.

Devin Townsend is an eternally busy man. Amidst all the talk of Heavy Devy’s pending U.S. headline tour with Tesseract, his performance of Ziltoid in Finland and his run with BTBAM and Cynic earlier this year it’s been easy to lose track of the fact that he’s still got two albums left to release in his promised suite of four (not to mention Ziltoid Part Two). And somehow, some way, he’s found time to write Ghost, the third album in the series, and hinted via his Twitter account today that we’ll get to hear a sample next week. If you read this site at all you know that this news makes our balls tingle in a very special way.

But don’t get too excited; as Axl reported in July, we’re supposedly gonna have to wait until March 2011 to get the full record. Actually, do get excited: Devin says we’ll also be getting the fourth and final Devin Townsend Project album, Deconstruction — which promises to be the heaviest of them all — in March as well.

Props to MS protege Alkahest of Heavy Blog is Heavy for picking up on this latest tidbit.
