Details have been unveiled for Devin Townsend‘s forthcoming autobiography, “Only Half There“. Two editions of the book are being produced for a tentative August release. The classic edition will feature the book and a new CD titled “Iceland“. The signature edition will be limited to 500 numbered copies—each signed by Townsend himself. Prints of cartoon art by Townsend, and an audio cassette of previously unreleased demos will also be included, complete with digital downloads as well. You can pre-order now via Devintownsendbook.com. Townsend said of the book:
“I thought writing a book was going to be easy. It wasn’t. Writing about growing up, music, the creative process and connection between personal development and ‘career’ made me think about a lot of other stuff, too. Like the positive and negative experiences of making different albums, and how each one affected me mentally, physically and emotionally. It’s all here, though, from my childhood to working with Steve Vai, forming Strapping Young Lad and the Devin Townsend Project, to Casualties Of Cool and finding myself only half there.
A sample of music from the aforementioned “Iceland” CD is also available to stream at Devintownsendbook.com.
