I BET THAT DEVIN TOWNSEND’S HAND REALLY HURTS

We’re a mere week away from the release of Addicted, the awesome new album by The Devin Townsend Project, and I imagine that all those pre-orders are gonna start shipping any second now.

So here’s video of Devin signing 2,000 of those pre-orders, plus adding his own special little touches to the booklets. I’m sure that this was a) boring as fuck for Devin and b) put a real strain on his hand, so I think it’s pretty awesome to see how much work he put into making these physical copies something really special for his fans.

You can still pre-order Addicted here, although I think (I could be wrong) that the super-deluxe awesome editions with Devin’s personally hand-drawn O cards are all gone. But even still, this record kicks major ass, and you should buy a copy.

Also, don’t forget that Devin will be part of the Incredibly Unbelievably Orgasm Inducing Tour 2010 with Between the Buried and Me, Cynic, and Scale the Summit. You can get tour dates here.

Addicted comes out November 17 on InsideOut. And if you’re really, really well-behaved for the rest of the week, we’ll have a special surprise that day to coincide with the release.
