Drummer Dave McClain states, “It’s going to be awesome to get out there and rock a full set, to mix it up night after night, and be able to do things 100% our way!

“It’s really just dawning on us that after almost three years of touring on ‘The Blackening’ that ‘The Black Procession’ will be the final tour of this cycle… but instead of being in wind-down mode, we’re super excited to get out there and crush it one last time! Our fans have been asking for a full-fledged MACHINE HEAD tour and we are ready to bring it!”

Singer/guitarist Robb Flynn adds, “It’s been an amazing album cycle and we are thankful for the relentless support we get from our fans.

“We are all well aware of the fact that the touring market around the world is in a tough spot due to economic conditions, and it’s great and humbling to be able to actually add dates to this tour in spite of that fact.

“We can’t wait to see all you crazy fuckers out there!”

Press Release:

Some 15 years ago, Steve Vai dubbed the then 19 year old Devin Townsend “The Boy Genius”. Vai was being most sincere, rather than sarcastic.

Since then Townsend has amazed, beguiled and occasionally baffled all comers in numerous incarnations spanning the extreme noise metal of Strapping Young Lad to the intricate melodies of Ocean Machine; Devin has had his hand in almost every genre of music, from industrial metal to progressive rock to ambient sounds. All of these projects had one thing in common: GENIUS.

From the perfection of the wall of noise that was ‘Strapping Young Lad’ to the brilliance of ‘The Devin Townsend Band’, Hevy Devy has embarked on his most ambitious project yet; a series of four albums under his new moniker ‘Devin Townsend Project’. “Each album is essentially a different band or collection of session musicians playing my music.” Townsend explains. The first album ‘Ki’ is a subtle, severe album with the whisper almost being louder than the roar. “Ki will end up being one of the albums of the year” – Chronicles Of Chaos.

The second album in the quadrilogy, ‘Addicted’, is, aptly, addictive. “The energy is boundless, the brightness is blinding, and, yes, Addicted is one of the very best albums in an absolutely ridiculous year in heavy metal.” – Metal review.com

In what seems like an eternity, long suffering Devin Zombies finally get their chance to witness the Devin Townsend Project in Australia throughout March 2010.
