I can never get enough of Devin. I adore him. I'm convinced he's not from this world. Great interview.

[@gergonikk]

This was legitimately one of the best conversations with Devin that I've ever heard. Insightful, intelligent, respectful, interesting. Well done!

[@MetalBlast]

Thank you so much for that! It means a lot

[@grumpy_bird]

So glad to hear updates about The Moth, finally!! Yay! We even have a date now! Just a year, but still!

[@Zhgarr]

I've been so hyped about the Moth ever since he showed his WIP during a Twitch stream. Can't wait for it

[@lowenbad]

I actually consider “Alien” by Strapping Young Lad to be the heaviest album ever made.

[@t3hgir]

you've clearly never heard Limp Bizkit

[@gmorkins6006]

There's an argument for it, I agree.

[@kalebthornsberry870]

I'd almost argue City tops it by a small bit

[@gmorkins6006]

@@kalebthornsberry870 That's fair honestly, I feel like the guitar and drum production on Alien is "heavier", but City is truly insane.

[@lowenbad]

@@kalebthornsberry870 they are probably tied for their best albums, but Alien is such a vibe… so much psycho energy… and putting “info dump” at the end just seals it. It’s such a REAL album. That’s kinda why I consider it the heaviest. There are lots of other brutal albums out there, but alien feels genuinely unhinged.

I enjoy your content, you ask good questions and bring up points that are worth discussing and pondering. So when I see you interviewing Devin Townsend, who is one of my favorite musicians (and people in general), I know I'm in for a good time.
Thanks for doing what you do and for letting the rest of us enjoy the results!

[@MetalBlast]

Thank you so much for that comment! It means a lot

[@Neil-Daimond]

Devin had the biggest effect on me recently since Alice Cooper did in 1994, so it's awesome to hear a reference to him from Devin 😊

[@paulboechler1314]

I would love a Terria pencil case 😂

[@gavinbuck8130]

I'd like a Deconstructed Lego set and a The Puzzle 500 piece jigsaw puzzle. 😊

[@MagicPumpkin]

Enjoyed that, thanks!

[@stinkfloyd1]

Is he interviewing in a bowling alley?

[@MetalBlast]

😂😂 It's somewhere in the backstage of a venue. It was hard to find a place with good internet connection

As a single divorced Man who would never bring a child into a world where their progeny would become a prisoner for 18 years learning useless information prior to becoming a slave for their entire adult life to a system as they go about chasing money as they have no choice but to remain surrounded by it in every aspect of their existence and require it to afford to exist, I can say this species is doomed for as long as such a paradigm exists.
