After much anticipation, we finally get our first taste of the new Devin Townsend concept album Z2, which is performed from the perspective of his alter-ego, Ziltoid the Omniscient.
The track "Deathray" is actually deep within the album, on disc 2, but it makes it's debut online today via this awesome lyric video:

So far, the marketing for this record has been awesome. Between the video, and the newly-launched Ziltoid website, I'm completely onboard with this storyline.
