Devin Townsend's Career and Creative Process

This past Saturday (July 16), we had the honor and privilege of interviewing Canadian music genius Devin Townsend about his extensive career in the music industry, and about the creative process he undergoes when creating music. During the conversation (which you can view below), Devin makes it very clear that he never plans out what he is going to do musically on or off stage, instead he prefers to let the music take over his thought process and as a result the sounds are very organic.

As we all know, he is one of the pioneers of "Progressive Metal", but when we chatted with him he made it clear that his music is always evolving because he is a multidimensional artist. On Saturday's show he presented his latest albums "Ghost" and "Deconstruction", his new songs were well received and the only complain all of his fans had was that his set was way too short. However, he did announce that he will be touring North America again in a few months and that this time he will be headlining!

Without further due, here is our exclusive interview with Devin Townsend!
