Here are a few he’s lined up: MESHUGGAH – ‘ I Am Colossus’ VENGABOYS – ‘We Like To Party’ SHIHAD – ‘Dark Times’ ABBA – ‘Fernando’ ENYA – ‘Orinoco Flow’ Join Devin Townsend as he guest programs Rage Saturday October 26 from 10am and later that night from 11:38pm on ABC TV. And now, on the back of the tour, Hevy Devy himself is stopping by Rage to play a selection of music videos that are just as eclectic as his career. That penchant for being consistent with inconsistency saw him grace our sunny shores recently with an acoustic only tour selling out venues around the country and showcasing an intimate side to his ever-changing musical stylings. And while each one has metal at its core, they’re vastly different in sound. Cavorting between new age ambiance, operatic screams, aggressive hard rock, lingering melodies, satire, country, blues and prog – Townsend’s sound truly does live up to his reputation of being a “multi-everythingist”. Since then, Townsend has released over two dozen genre-diverse records. Here are a few he’s lined up: MESHUGGAH ‘ I Am Colossus’ VENGABOYS ‘We Like To Party’ SHIHAD ‘Dark Times’ ABBA ‘Fernando’ ENYA ‘Orinoco Flow’ Join Devin.

She embodies the joyous spirit of the song, as does Janey, but also uses dance breaks to execute some of the most impressive moves we’ve ever seen in a lip sync.

By 1997, Strapping Young Lad had immersed themselves in the underground metal scene with their dark, wall-of-sound technique and eccentric stage antics. First gaining notoriety as a vocalist on Steve Vai’s 1993 album Sex & Religion, as well as working with both Front Line Assembly and Skinny Puppy, Townsend eventually parted ways with Vai, and went on to form heavy extreme metal band Strapping Young Lad. Hailing from British Columbia, The Canadian artist has had an expansive career spanning two decades, traversing multiple genres, bands and solo projects. Strap in as heavy metal singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Devin Townsend brings the riffs to Rage this Saturday.
