I love how Devin Townsend manages to always bring back bits of Strapping Young Lad in some of his recent years songs. I've caught up on his latest releases this week and his Dimensions track is definitely sounding like it would belong in an SYL album!

I do prefer his heavier stuff but he's my favorite musician so I support whatever he puts out. He has commented before that his voice is getting harder to force into heavier vocals as he ages. To me, the man still has a beautiful voice. Even when he's "not screaming his balls off" (he said this during one of his live albums lol).
I got to meet him back in 2020, where he signed my Deconstruction album. I've admired him for over 15 years at this point, so meeting him was surreal! He's so humble, too. I probably had come across as weird but I was way too excited about meeting him!
