Devin Townsend – Devolution Series #3 – Empath Live in America 2023, MP3+FLAC

The third in the DEVIN TOWNSEND ‘Devolution’ series, ”Empath Live In America” is a document of the tour that was cut short in early 2020. As Devin explains: “this tour marked a ‘free form’ version of the material. There was no backing tracks, click tracks, or even a setlist, so every night was unique and different. The audience yelled out requests and we just rolled with it. The material was therefore interpreted in unique ways and the experience was a very special ‘fly by the seat of our pants’ musical night.”
Featuring a stripped back version of the ‘Order of Magnitude’ band, this release captures a raw and off-kilter performance. Well, ‘raw’ here in fact means ‘lively’, as the recording, mix & mastering is crystal clear.
The cool thing of this live album is that the songs result pretty different than the originals, almost like new ones. If you like DEVIN TOWNSEND “Devolution Series #3 – Empath Live In America” is a must have. If you are new to an artist, usually a live album is not recommended as starting point. Not with this one: ”Empath Live In America” sounds awesome.

More Information

Devin Townsend: Devolution Series #1 - Acoustically Inclined, Live in Leeds (Review) Devin Townsend gehört zu den während der Corona-Pandemie umtriebigsten Musikern überhaupt, obwohl er sich, wie er in seinen unbedingt empfehlenswerten Album-Rückbetrachtungen auf YouTube gesteht, mit der Situation schwertut.

The series is called the "Devolution Series". "Devolution Series #2 - Galactic Quarantine" was recorded between July and September 2020 in various places around the world. Originally streamed on September 5th, 2020 on StageIt.com as a replacement show for the COVID affected "Empath Vol 2 European Tour" and various cancelled Summer festivals.

Devin Townsend präsentiert die »Devolution Series«: eine Sammlung von kuriosem und interessantem Material aus Devins Karriere, das durchaus hörenswert ist, aber nicht zu den »großen Veröffentlichungen« zählt. Diese Serie enthält Songs und Konzerte aus der Covid-Quarantäne-Zeit, sowie diverse Live-Shows der vergangenen Jahre.
