Devin Townsend Project Teams Up With MetalSucks To Debut Exclusive New Track
One of metal’s most intriguing and ominous figures is without a doubt the immensely talented Devin Townsend, who triumphantly returns with a greatly ambitious new endeavor under the DTP (Devin Townsend Project) moniker. The new, mind-blowing disasterpiece takes the man’s genius to unprecedented levels as he embarked on a massive 4-part album series, which kicked off with Ki and is followed up with the Addicted album that is set for a Nov. 17th release throughout North America via Inside Out Music.
Townsend has teamed up with MetalSucks to present an exclusive debut of the new track, “Universe In A Ball,” whose rhythmic guitar riff is pretty damn addictive. Click the link below to check it out.

Towsend states: “Hey, so what does “Universe In A Ball mean? Short answer...I have no idea, it's phonetics that just kept appearing so I went with it. Long answer: okay, lets choose from a number of things. 1) The end of Men In Black where the alien picks up a marble that contains all our known reality HOTCHA! 2) The reproductive qualities in a testicle, a whole Universe is in your balls... BAM! 3) The nature of infinity is like the surface of an expanding balloon, where the surface is a circular dimensional reality that expands infinitely. ZAP 4) The hierarchy of man vs. nature from a more 'native' perspective, which essentially means everything is equal, not a pyramid, as is the classic 'religious' view with man on top, and the environment below. Everything is just what it is, right now. Eternally. Any questions are moot, women are beautiful, and I want a donut. BLAZANG!
“The plans for the video for 'Bend It Like Bender' are currently underway, the director is none other than the mighty Konrad Palkewicz, who directed 'Almost Again' by STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, and 'Coast' off of Ki. It's an all animated affair that is not nearly as 'puffy' as the song, it's a mini movie with his incredible skills once again making my music seem much more poignant than it really is. I've seen some clips and it’s crazy good. The song is a really kind of silly euro-dance rock and roll song that I hate to love, but absolutely do (love). It's a fun one, and once the metal community hears it, I'm sure many a nose will be turned upward until I deliver something brutal. But, you know? I'm good with that, because it’s gloomy winter weather already, and I've got to think positive. Plus, Bender is an awesome character that I wasn't allowed to sample, so there's a really bad imitation of him in there as well.”
