S.05 E.15 – Interview with Devin Townsend

Send us Fan MailOne of the more influential and fundamental artists in the world of modern rock/metal music, Devin Townsend, joins us today on IUF. From fronting the highly lauded bands like Strapping Young Lad and The Devin Townsend Project – Devin has collaborated with a countless amount of other talented bands/musicians throughout his decorated career. Now that the live concert experience has been on hold for nearly a year, we ask Devin about his touring perspectives that he appreciated the most. One noticeable element about Devin was the presence and passion he always left out on the stage when it came to performing; It was something anyone at any show would remember. The relationship between the artist and fan cannot be overlooked, and Devin speaks out on how much he has valued that over the years. And lastly, we also talk about the quarantine concerts he managed to pull together during the first stages of the pandemic, and how he raised money while donating the benefit proceeds to hospitals and health services. Devin is always striving to make a positive impact within the community – no matter the size. His energy and motivation just seems to be unmatched, and that's a good thing to serve as an inspiration where many have pointed out about him. With new music now on the horizon, Devin looks forward to this new uncharted chapter in hopes of continuing to bring his passionate work out into the world once again.
