Devin Townsend will be hitting the road in 2010 in support of THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT’s Addicted album, which was met with worldwide critical praise and scored very impressive first week numbers debuting at #168 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and #2 on the Billboard Heatseakers chart. The band will join BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, CYNIC and SCALE THE SUMMIT for a North American trek that kicks off January 8th.

Townsend comments: “Here’s a short clip of a DTP rehearsal with no overdubs and no fixes. We plan to have a choir for the tours coming up after January to cover the background vocals. My plan was always to make the live experience tight, and like the record (with a few surprises). This was our first take of ‘By Your Command’ that day.

“I am thrilled to be able to come play for you. Thank you for allowing me to continue doing whatever it is I do. I believe now is the start of it all. What I want to do is pretty epic in terms of live concerts. I think my dissatisfaction with shows in the past is that I want to see and provide people with an EVENT, a spectacle, and the music is the soundtrack to the experience. First things first is getting the new band tight and disciplined, we’re ready to play this first tour (our first one) with BTBAM, CYNIC and SCALE THE SUMMIT. When I complete ‘Deconstruction’ I believe we’ll have every musical base covered to make a heck of a statement.

“Have a great New Year folks. Keep it strong, keep it brutal. Keep it quiet, keep it gentle. See you all soon.”
