Devin Townsend Announces Empath – The Ultimate Edition for June 2020 Release

Canadian musician, Devin Townsend, has announced the release of his new album Empath – The Ultimate Edition, set to release on Jun. 5. The album features all of the original songs from the 2019 record, but additionally contains two bonus CD’s and Blu-Ray- discs.

The new album is set to feature a 5.1 surround sound mix, by Townsend himself. On top of the additional discs, the album will come with full commentary, and an art-book, containing notes and images from the creation of the album.

“I hear things in a particularly orchestrated way, and with the amount of information that typically gets recorded per song, the result has been the dubious ‘wall of sound’ that I keep ending up with.” Townsend said. “My intention has never been to make an oppressive experience, but rather something that is immersive and vast.”

Townsend has opened up pre-orders for the album, through his website. To promote his upcoming album Townsend will be kicking off his Summer 2020 festival run, with his first top in Solvesborg, SE, on Jun. 4, at the Sweden Rock Festival, he will conclude his tour in Dinkelsbuhl, DE, on Aug. 12, at the Summer Breeze Festival.
