"...He plans to continue to make “a ton of music”, some of which will be heavy, some ambient, like his other new CD The Hummer, and everything in between. He’s going to build a new studio at his new house, and will be keeping his studio in Vancouver where he produces other bands. So every now and again a Devin Townsend album will emerge, possibly on the internet, but he won’t tour and won’t be doing any other kind of public appearances, like interviews etc."

He realized that Ziltoid was a load of shit, I reckon.

maybe he doesn't want his new generation of fans to see his morbid ugliness

Lol, that picture is probably the best one ive seen of him. He looks almost human. As long as he keeps making music i guess.

This was long overdue. He needs to stop writing and just work on producing for a while, he's just been forcing shitty releases out this last year.This Message Edited On 05.10.07

ziltoid was very disappointing. i loved synchestra, terria and accelerated evolution though. i hope theres still some SYL in the future. i like a lot of his work hes done producing wise too. how come no one told me about the Hummer? is it any good

On a saturated musical landscape, Devin is one of the gems. At least he'll still be making music.

Im very sad to here this. Though I wasnt a big fan of his solo stuff to begin with, SYL kicked ass! Plus, he was one of the few good Canadian metal bands!
RIP SYL

Aww hell. This is horrible. :-( Devy is the man. I'll miss SYL, but at least he'll still release some stuff still.

Well, as long as he makes music, it's alright. Ziltoid was a load of crap though, it's good he's taking a break.

I never really liked his ambient stuff either.

i thought he did a good job with ziltoid, seeing as it was meant to be a parody album and wasn't really supposed to be taken seriously. i love devin and i am glad to hear that he will at least still be making solo albums, we can live w/o SYL
