Devin Townsend has revealed a June 08th release date for the first in a series of four vinyl box set releases he has planned. The set has collectively been dubbed “Eras” and the first to come will include the Devin Townsend Project albums “KI“, “Addicted“, “Deconstruction” and “Ghost” spread across 7 LPs. Liner notes by Chris Dick with commentary from Townsend himself will complete the set.
Speaking of the release, Townsend himself commented:
“The Devin Townsend Project, although it went further than I had originally planned, began life as these four albums. ‘Ki‘, ‘Addicted‘, ‘Deconstruction‘ and ‘Ghost‘. The music evolved in line with a period of intense personal growth, and the albums in chronological order were meant to illustrate that change. The amount of people involved with this was extensive, and the journey was one that defined my career in ways I cannot over express. These four albums are really what the Devin Townsend Project was about.
I have been asked repeatedly over the last few years to provide these albums on vinyl, in one set. So we took this opportunity to put together ‘Eras‘, which is the definitive vinyl box-set encapsulating this period of my life and work that I am exceptionally proud of. As always, this wouldn’t have come to fruition without the support of the tremendous audience who has allowed it to flourish, so respect to both yourselves, the people involved, and the music itself, we present to you; ‘Eras‘. Thank you for allowing me to continue to do what I do.”
Pre-orders are up now at this location. Townsend himself recently Devin Townsend Project on indefinite hiatus as he pursues other projects. Meanwhile, a number of musicians from his past projects have since went on to form Imonolith.
