Lot of talent in this band. Not a lot of hair, but a lot of talent.

26 Jan 2024. 47 years in existence. When I thought I have heard everything of Metal, I found this. Speechless..

just found this man in 2023 wtf have i been missing. big dream theater fan saw that he was touring with them and the rick beato interview. this man is a genius amazing just amazing devin

@3:59 - that transition from "Your Soul!!!!!!!" to the "whoooooaaaaaaa" + the hurricane scene is just perfect. Hard to put into words. I get chills everytime 🔥🔥🔥

I think that we can seriously make the following dichotomy: Life before and after listening to Devin Townsend.

Genuinely regret not having gotten into Devin Townsends music earlier. The past few weeks I've just went down a rabbit hole of awesome music and discovering all the past albums. Can't even express how great it's been

my friend's little daughter listened to this song and said "wow, this music is so huge!"

Who else got goosebumps listening to this?

I cried the first 5 times i listened to this song, and i never cried hearing a song ever!

I'll always love Devy's "wall of sound" production. It's just a wave of beauty crashing against you

God, just the WAY he sings “time is a human construct”… it’s something else.

Lyrics: Time is a human construct, and you were below the waves Time after time, July was in her eyes But if you lie, you lie to your soul Your soul let it fly I remember the rainy days in Chinatown Oh, I hope you'll be okay Time after time, July was in her eyes But if you lie, you lie to your soul All we're offering is a chance to be loved

I am going through getting sober. And THIS IS what I'm listening to. I can't stop crying 😢

My greatest accomplishment of 2019: Discovering Devin Townsend My biggest regret of 2019: Not discovering Devin Townsend sooner! Absolutely mesmerized by his music, i just cant stop listening to it.

I'm so glad this man exists. What a gift to humanity.

This band proves that the soul of music is not yet dead.

I discovered Devin 4 days ago, and he's already delivered me more chills than all of my life experiences of the past decade combined. Yes, I need to get out more, but still...what utterly astounding music!

The first time I saw devin do this song live, I could feel my soul try to leave my body to become part of the music. It was fucking intense.

This song, words cannot do justice, feel so very lucky to be alive to hear it.

Best talent in known universe. Underated is understatement

So amazing. How is he constantly making great music... It's totally unfair.

Bow down to the greatest musician ever. Thanks for your music Devin

You got my attention with this very record, Mr. Townsend. Thank you for recording and releasing it! It's the only one that makes me feel like crying of passion, joy and longing but I guess that's exactly the point! Devin Townsend, an exceptional artist, writer and singer, especially the latter!!! I bow before you!

I found this three days ago... WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!!!!

Damn, it's been a long time since I saw a music video that I liked that much. This song still gives me chills

Did anyone interpret this video as I did? My wife recently told me she no longer loves me (yeah I know, sob story). The lyrics are very suggestive of losing someone. He talks about memories and using time to navigate those memories, lying to yourself, and offering yourself; your love. The video shows a boy and girl fighting desperately to find beauty, to find life. They're in a dead world but together they attempt to better they're environment. By doing so, their world crumbles. Everything they've known, everything around them is destroyed. They hold tight to eachother as the storm worsens and just as it seems they can take no more or that they may die, the storm breaks and life blossoms around them. Beauty and meaning now cover their once desolate world and lives. Best part of the video is when they hug eachother at the end with those big smiles on their faces. They made it. All of that struggle and fear was well, well worth it. I see this video as a message of hope- don't give up. Battle the storms and eventually, no matter how hard it becomes, it will pay off. This song and video are perfect together regardless of how you interpret them.

Just when I thought music was dead I discovered Townsend. The range and quality of his music has blown my mind.

I just saw this video for the first time recently after not hearing any Devin for at least 2 years. I cried. I wept with happiness and joy. I dont know how one man can encapsulate what it feels like to be human with music so well. God has blessed this man with a power, he holds a key to the mind. I love you Devin, thank you.

If Hollywood is ever going to do a series of proper ''Dune'' movies ,Devin would be perfect to compose the soundtrack for it.I mean seriously,this here is epic,beyond human recognition. Imagine something like this,playing while Paul Atreides is riding the sandworm,into battle against the Harkonnen army.

I can never get over how perfect this song is

It's been 6 months...this is still my favourite song of all time.

If churches played this music, I would go every Sunday.

Seeing Devin live this weekend. Haven’t been this excited for a concert almost ever. He’s a musical genius. Thank you for your tunes Devin! What a gift you have given us all

Great power and beauty in everything this amazing artist creates. I love him. Can’t wait for his next Canadian tour.

Never heard a band like this. Not comparable to any other. Devin is unmatched.

This is the closest I've ever seen to finding the "opposite of a big hair band" ... literally and figuratively.

This.. is literally a dream I've had all my life. The tornadoes, the upheaving ground, the grey dreariness being swept into utter annihilation.. Chilling and beautiful.

Well this song just made me cry, all good

Musical genius

This sounds like metal enya

I looked up the word 'Epic' in the Oxford English Dictionary today, and it simply said:'Stormbending'.

Well, that was fucking amazing.

Came back again. I love you all. Anyone listening to this, just know that you are loved and appreciated

Found Devy just about 5 months ago im like .... how ? just amazing, thank you Mr. Townsend.

Why isn't this artist more well-known? Simply superb.

This man's music leaves me in awe at times...and brings so much joy to my musical soul. Been a fan forever... since Sex and Religion with Steve Vai came out in 93'. His growth has been a wonderful and joyous journey to enjoy and experience. My favorite individual musician for the last 25 years.

You know the easiest way to tell that Devin is a fantastic musician? He can shred with the best, and usually doesn't.

One of the greatest musicians ever!!! Been a Devin fan since 94 and he is still pushing limits!! Masterpiece song!!

TIIIMMMEE IS A HUMAN CONTRUCT!!!!! 😱

I've listened to TOOL ALMOST exclusively for over 10 years. Yes..10 years. No radio, flips and flops here and there to some classic rock and even traveled through some other random music but I simply couldn't find anything as deep as TOOL. So TOOL it was for over 10 years. 10 loooooooong years of waiting to find a band that had some depth in their orchestration and composition of music, lyrics, passion and emotion. Then I found DTP and...now?.. I am free!! I am freeeeee!! I absolutely love this band! Totally amazballs! Thank you DTP for breathing life into my ears once more!

"1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations."

Twenty years ago I used to listen to Devin when I was making costumes cos it made me sew faster. Now I'm writing books and he helps me type faster!!! Just one of those legends that keeps giving.

Dude. Am I the only one witch chills and tears at 4:00 ?! every ficking time.

I knew a couple of Townsend songs, but today i got some free time, and listened to some more of his songs... I haven't got excited with "new" music for a while.. I fucking love his music. Is the perfect combination of classic, dreamy and dark. 🖤🖤🖤😭

So many times Townsend carry me trough difficult days...pure power and energy!!!!

I've never really been into metal, but the instrumentation and vocals in this song are incredible.

This is one of the most gorgeous albums ever made

Song: 5/5 Video: 5/5 Baldness: 3/5

The way I can't help but close my eyes and get choked up during key parts of this. This man speaks to my absolute core. Just absurdly powerful.

I've been listening to Devin for 15 to 20 years and I'm pretty sure this is my favorite song of his

Just discovered this band. They are so amazing!

unearthly music & deeply astonishing video!

the glory of God in a song.

Don’t mind me, just here on my yearly Devin rabbithole.

To be honest this was not my favorite song from the new album, but this video actually overwhelmed me with emotions.. I feel so overwhelmed.. It gave new life to the song for me

Canadian musician destroys city. No one complains due to awesomeness. Kids hug.

THIS is how a mix is done: everything's a musical instrument, yes even the lead vocals - no need for them to overpower anything else. EPIC! 🤘😎

I honestly didn't understand why Devin was so great for so many years. learning that was honestly life changing.

How does somebody have a big enough brain to make a song like this? That moment at 2:26 where that wailing guitar kicks in. Chilllllssss

he had alot of problems with depression and anxiety. This song is about overcoming and not letting it define who you are. The first time i saw this video i couldnt help but cry a little because i too suffer from it. It made me realise that i conatantly let it beat me time after time. This song finally made me say i have a problem and i need help. So i went to therapy and got a psychiatrist and found out my ADHD had gotten worse, and my low energy and motivation was causing these problems. Since then i have been on Adderall and with work and persistence im starting to crawl out of the cave i dug and feel like im seeing the sun for the first time in years. It all started with this song. Thank you Devin for telling me exactly what i needed to hear.

This isn't a song..... This...... is a passage into another life.

This man never fails to amaze. Been a fan for more than a decade. I liked SYL too but his solo work is where it's really at.

Dude, I was today years old when I realized that "I remember the rainy days in Chinatown" is a reference to Deep Peace from Terria. On the Metal Archives, the lyrics list "(inside the picture of the huge sterile black and white diner on a rainy Sunday afternoon in Chinatown)" for the place where the solo occurs. It's possible Sunday Afternoon off of Accelerated Evolution may even be referencing that: "... on a rainy Sunday afternoon." All three songs have a very similar vibe. Evidently, they're all referring to the same event Devin is talking about here. I absolutely LOVE when artists refer back to their older material like that.

as a music and weather nut ( especially tornadoes) i have to say that this easily in the top 3 things i've ever heard and witnessed in my life. i cried like a little bitch and i couldn't give a fuck because it was worth it. thank you so much for this gift you've given us. i'll never forget it!

Omg what an epic song. I keep playing it over and over again. Such a fan.

I love the HUGE sound! Turn it up to 11.

It's.. ACCELERATED EVOLUTION!!!

This brought tears to my eyes. Just recently discovered this amazing man's talent, and I have never felt more blown away by music. It wasn't just my heart that felt this but my soul as well. God gave this man an awe inspiring set of pipes.

Can't believe this song is 7 years old already

I'm 42 and have listened to metal since I was a boy and am NOW getting into Dev's stuff. I first heard Kingdom which I loved and now Stormbending is my favourite. What a song! Such power and feel it has. Cheers!

Wow... This is awesome. I've loved Devin's music since I first heard Ocean Machine years ago. This definitely gave me chills all over again.

This video makes me feel things. It's incredible. When done well videos can definitely add something to the music. This one certainly does. I feel like Dev's gotten himself to the place that I want to be. More peace and less inner chaos. I regret that I only have one like to give.

I dedicate this to you Bob! You will forever be in our hearts and your music in our souls

Just discovered this song (and Devin), absolutely EPIC....! =)

What an onslaught. Masterpiece.

Awesome track!! Very nice twists and turns and I love the opening lyrics. Nice1

A perfect song.

Damn!.another late DTP discovering fan....rolling over his videos/musics for a month now and...Touchdown! right in the heart! In his long travel for debuilding/rebuilding his mind, SuperHuman Devin construct the best needle ever made to touch any humindkind heart (nice isnt?)

This song makes me remember the rainy days in Chinatown

What a song... It has such a cathartic feel to it. Mindblowingly beautiful.

This is such a huge difference from his Strapping young lad days, and I love both

This is epic. I have tears in my eyes whenever I watch it.

great song ! love it! hello From Moldova! Devin Townsend Project rocks!

Spread this ye faithful. Spread this will considerable volume near and far, now and forever.

This takes my breath away. No matter how many times I see the video, no matter how many times I hear the song, I am left breathless and awestruck by both. The combination is almost too much. I just love it.

Never ever has there been so much emotion in music

This song makes me cry everytime.

I've heard this album dozens of times and still makes me chill. Townsend's Major chords are heavenly, his music and majesty have no match!

The experience of watching and listening to this is like having just watched a full 2 hour movie of the most heartbreakingly beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

This isn't music, it's an EXPERIENCE.
