Everyone’s favourite coffee loving alien is back once again, come this October Ziltoid will be returning to us once again and after much hype surrounding the cagey release details of the new album Devin Townsend has just released a 30 second trailer. In typical tongue in cheek humour that Townsend is known for the video opens with “Hello dorks!” its safe to say that Ziltoid’s return will be a pretty big deal. Whilst not only getting his audience on the edge of their seat, Townsend has also announced that following the sold out Royal Albert Hall appearance there will be a run of European dates that fans can get down to, with support from non other than Periphery and Shining.
Devin comments :
“Now that the recording and mixing for Z2 is finished, it’s time to gear up for touring again! There’s a bunch of events coming up, and one of them that I’m extremely proud to announce is a European headlining tour with support from the incredible Periphery and the insane Shining!
“That’s a heck of a line-up I think, each band is doing something unique from each other, yet are really well defined. It will be an opportunity for us to explore our back catalogue as well as the Z2 albums, Sky Blue and Dark Matters (from the upcoming double album, Z2).
“One of the greatest things about doing this for as long as I have is that we get to do these sorts of awesome events. I can’t even begin to express how honoured I am to share the stage with these incredible bands, and to have such overwhelming support from the audience lately. It’s honestly just an absolute pleasure to do this.
“So it is with great pride I invite you to the show! Hopefully we come near you, let’s do this!”
Exciting news as ever in the madmans metal camp, hopefully we will only be needing the edge of our seats for this one! See below for both the trailer and the list of the tour dates.
