DEVIN TOWNSEND Streams Hefty New Single “Jainism”

Devin Townsend is now streaming his high-energy new single “Jainism” from the upcoming document PowerNerd, due out October 25.

“This subsequent music was based mostly on my connection to music within the mid nineties. Additionally the thought of what it means to rend your self artistically to an unresponsive world in 2024,” stated Townsend. “I referenced The Wildhearts within the refrain, as Ginger is one among our generations best songwriters. In preparation for ‘The Moth’, PowerNerd is supposed to look again and rejoice the previous earlier than shifting ahead. Thanks for the help…again to work right here :)”

On the document itself and creating the entire thing in 11 years, Townsend added: “It was a aware factor. I believed, ‘I’ve spent a lot time overthinking each facet of my work – what would occur if I did not?’ Perhaps I’d have the chance to be a bit extra direct with what it’s that I am attempting to do. I actually needed to see if I may reduce via a few of the meandering.”

On what precisely a “powernerd” is, Townsend elaborated: “I’d say {that a} powernerd could be someone that tends that society has deemed weak or not beneficial, whether or not that is empathy or being an insular individual or an introvert, and turns that into a kind of private energy. It is like, ‘OK, yeah, I am delicate to this, that and the opposite factor, however man, I’m going to tug via! I’m going to do issues with that sensitivity which are rooted in energy.'”

PowerNerd is available for pre-order here in a number of completely different codecs, together with a Restricted 2CD+Blu-ray Artbook (that includes the album, bonus tracks and Townsend‘s first ever Dolby Atmos combine), Restricted 2CD Digipak in O-card, Customary CD, Gatefold 2LP & Digital Album.
