Vocalist/guitarist/producer DEVIN TOWNSEND has released official Ziltoid The Omniscient hand puppets. They are now available for purchase via a UK distributor here. It's not known at this time how many puppets are being produced. We'll keep you posted.

As previously reported, the DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT is gearing up for the release of a new box set dubbed Contain Us, featuring Devin Townsend's recently completed tetralogy of albums: Ki, Addicted, Deconstruction, and Ghost.

Some highlights of the box set include:

• A 12" x 12", 64-page, perfect bound book featuring a charcoal linen hardcover with ink-less debossing of the DTP logo on the front and applicable titling on the spine.

• DTP albums will be housed within the front cover's pastedown while the 4 unreleased discs will be in the back.

• 500 individually-numbered, limited edition copies that include two exclusive items:

a) An autographed lithographic print featuring original artwork by Devin drawn exclusively for this edition

b) a 10" piece of vinyl featuring two exclusive tracks.

There is some discrepancy with regards to how many box sets will actually be manufactured, with suggested numbers running anywhere between 2,500 and 5,000 copies worldwide depending on the source. We'll keep you posted.

As previously reported, Townsend recently posted a new video update online with the following message:

"Just some shrapnel lying around from the past few months... plus our 'silent' deconstruction jam the other day at Dirk's house. The song on the video is a rough demo of some ideas I'm working on...no title yet."

In other news, the Devin Townsend Project's highly anticipated Deconstruction show in London, England on November 12th is now officially sold out. Only tickets for the Ki show are still available here.

The schedule is as follows:

November 10th

Ki - ULU

November 11th

Addicted - ULU ( SOLD OUT )

November 12th

Deconstruction - ULU ( SOLD OUT )

November 13th

Ghost - Union Chapel ( SOLD OUT )

Townsend: "Each show will feature its own special guest musicians; we´ve got the lovely Anneke van Giersbergen performing on the Addicted, the ever so classy Miss Kat Epple on flute for Ghost, and the mighty Dirk Verbeuren on drums for the Ki and Decon shows among others. And of course we´ll be sure to film each show in HD for a DVD & Blu Ray release some time in 2012.

We recently announced that awesome Norwegian jazz metal band SHINING will be the support band for the Deconstruction show, and now we´re proud to inform you that groundbreaking neo-classical artist HAZLITT will open for the Ghost performance, and that Manchester rockers AMPLIFIER will open on the Addicted show. Opening band for Ki is yet to be announced."
