Watch Devin Townsend Project’s Stormbending video

Devin Townsend Project have released a video for their track Stormbending.

It’s taken from latest album Transcendence, which was released last month and followed 2014’s Sky Blue, part of the band’s Z2 release.

Mainman Townsend recently said: “It’s so easy to say ‘Everything’s shit, man – it’s all going to hell.’ Making a statement that is positive was really where I wanted the power of this record to be rooted.

“I wanted to make something that’s really beautiful, but strong. There’s a ton of people that aren’t giving up and you have to really fight to not give up, so this record is a celebration of that spirit.”

Devin Townsend Project commence a European tour in January, with six UK dates in March.

Devin Townsend loosened the reins on Transcendence

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
