DEVIN TOWNSEND Records Song For U.K.'s TERRORIZER Magazine

November 5, 2011

Canadian musician/producer Devin Townsend has recorded a song dedicated to U.K.'s Terrorizer magazine to celebrate the 100th edition of the "Fear Candy" covermount CD. The track, simply called "Terrorizer", was written to celebrate Devin's appearance at this month's Damnation Festival and four-night residency in London where Devin will perform each of his DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT albums per night. The song is available exclusively with "Fear Candy" 100 in Terrorizer issue 216 (November 2011).

Says Devin: "Terrorizer has been really supportive of me for years. Even in the moments where it was cool to think I'm a douche, you guys have always had my back, and it's a great way to be able for one, to make music, and I guess in a weird way to say 'thanks,' so there you go!"

Parts of the song were recorded at the end of the "Deconstruction" album process earlier this year with Devin recording guitar parts and drummer Dirk Verbeuren (SOILWORK) recording basic parts. The song's vocals, samples, finished structure and mixing was finished at Devin's own studio in Vancouver last month.

Devin explained: "Dirk and I had a shared love of NAPALM DEATH and EXTREME NOISE TERROR, and all that stuff from that era and we didn't actually realize that we both loved it, so when we were in the studio doing 'Deconstruction', I was, like, 'I have this riff, give me some beats!' It was one take it shits the bed half way through, then it comes together at the end, it has a vibe and it was perfect! That sound has always reminded me of the whole Terrorizer vibe."
