Devin Townsend has been hinting about doing his Casualties of Cool record for quite some time now, but now we're finally getting confirmation that it is on the horizon! Previously, Devy has also confirmed that Ziltoid is also happening this year, so the man will be busy.
Townsend took to his Facebook page yesterday to make the announcement via picture and the below text:
"It's time for us at team Dev to shift our focus to Devin's next musical adventure: Casualties of Cool. We'll soon launch a 3 month long crowd funding campaign on PledgeMusic since we'll be releasing this album without a record label to back it up and we'll need some serious funds to produce nice looking album packaging and get us a great promo video as eye candy. More details on all of this in the coming weeks but here's a brand new picture of Devin and the lovely Ché Dorval (main vox on the record, you might remember her from DTP's 'Ki' album) already as a bit of a tease…"
Well doesn't that kick a whole lot of ass! It'll be cool to hear Townsend go further into his weird country-ish territory like he did with Ki especially considering he's got Dorval back on vocals.
Let's not kid ourselves… it's hard to imagine Townsend won't meet his crowdfunding goal. Dude's gonna make a killing on this! Even if he just makes it over the threshold of what he's asking for, he'll have already done a thousand times better than Orgy's embarassment failure of a crowdfunding campaign.
