DEVIN TOWNSEND FINDS HIS “TRUE NORTH”

There’s no doubt that Devin Townsend’s mind-blowing new effort, Epicloud, is going to end up on my year-end list; the only question is, “How high up will it be?” The record is catchy and diverse and layered, the kind of hard rock album that just doesn’t get made enough anymore.

And, hey, today is your lucky day, ’cause a new song from the album has just been released!

“True North,” Epicloud‘s opening track (not counting the intro “Effervescent!”) from Devin Townsend’s  now streaming over at Metal Hammer. It leads directly into “Lucky Animals,” the other song from the album that has already been released, so if you listen to ’em back to back, you’ll start to get some sense of what I mean when I say that Epicloud is catchy and diverse.

Check out “True North” here. Epicloud comes out September 18.
