Decrepit Birth drummer Samus Paulicelli, who runs a YouTube channel under the name 66Samus, recently posted a playthrough of the track "Hear Me" from Devin Townsend's new album, Empath.

Paulicelli: "This is definitely one of the most difficult songs I've ever recorded."

Devin Townsend has released a video for "Spirits Will Collide", a track from his new album, Empath, out now via InsideOut Records. Watch below.

On this album Devin has decided to see what would happen if all the styles that make up his current interests were finally represented in one place. To finally shake the fear of expectation and just do what it is he was meant to do creatively; Empath, true to the name, is about allowing the audience a feeling for a variety of musical emotions. The musical dynamics represented on this single album are broad, challenging, and immense. To approach this sort of work with a long history of what makes heavy music “heavy,” allows this to be done with a type of power rarely heard. This is a statement about not only pursuing creative freedom in a conservative scene, but also trying to show that heavy music is truly a valid musical tool.

Empath is released on Limited 2 CD Digipak (including an entire disc of bonus material), Standard CD Jewelcase, Gatefold 180G 2LP Vinyl + CD + LP-booklet & as digital album. Order here.
