Mad scientist Devin Townsend – because what other way is there to describe him? – has released a short teaser for Ziltoid 2, which will be coming out October 28th. The teaser can be seen below.
Townsend explains the album:
So it’s been years I’ve been trying to get the energies in line to do another Ziltoid record, and it’s finally happened! Z2 is my new record, and it’s a multimedia event that has taken a ton of people a ton of effort to bring to you! It’s a double album, (one side DTP, and one side Ziltoid) and the concept expands on Ziltoid the alien, and his sci-fi adventures in a way that kind of throws back to 50’s radio plays… but obviously with complicated, heavy music as its soundtrack. It has taken a great deal of energy to put this all together, and the music is just one of the aspects of it.
A show where the album will be played in its entirety is scheduled for April 13th, 2015 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, which is already sold out.
