Devin Townsend has shared a new video update on his current round of songwriting, and his upcoming Australian tour. Check it out below.

"I've been writing, and it's still at that point where I'm trying to figure out what it is I'm trying to say. Amidst that, I've been writing a ton of things. I've had a couple moments this week of thinking, 'Oh, that's really cool, this is great...' and then digging into it and only an hour later being like, 'Meh.' I think it was two night ago that I wrote something I thought was fantastic. The litmus test for that  is often whether ot not I remember it the next day, but I'd forgotten it. But I'm enjoying it."

Townsend will be bringing his Lightwork tour to Australia this November. The November 11th show in Sydney sold out several weeks ago, and Townsend's team has confirmed that the Melbourne show on November 10th is now sold out as well.

Tickets for the shows is Perth and Brisbane are on sale at this location.

Devin Townsend celebrates the 25th anniversary of his landmark solo album, Infinity, with a brand new edition of the record being released on November 24. This newly remastered version of the album comes as a Limited 2CD Digipak, Gatefold 180g 2LP + LP-booklet & as Digital album, and includes all the bonus tracks from this era, as well as newly shot artwork & liner notes from Devin.

Pre-order here.

Devin comments: “As I move into a new phase of my work, (one that requires the next two years to be spent writing and recording), I reflect on the Infinity album and the period it all happened in many ways. This was my first attempt at engineering and mixing an album, and without it, I wouldn’t have gotten where I am now on a technical level. It was like going to college at the time, and although it is primitive in many ways, it also reminded me of the amount of passion it takes to reach a new level. The whole process during the making of this album was fraught with learning, turmoil, growth, and psychological development. In fact: I didn’t think at the time that I would even get through it, (let alone be here 25 years later writing and working with the hard-won experience that came as a direct result of making ‘Infinity’). I realize now how pivotal this period of expression was for me, and how it was a testament to tenacity in the long run. As such, I’m proud that we’ve decided to re-release the record with all the bonus tracks and personal artwork from that period in one place. I was even asked to do an updated version of the naked cover album cover (!!!) so in the name of authenticity… I did that too.  I believe this to be the quintessential version of the record. It was a statement then as it is now. And for those who were there during that period as well as those who are perhaps interested in how it all began, I present to you ‘Infinity’ in an updated fashion. I’m grateful for the opportunity to release it in this light and thank you all for the support all these years. Please wish me luck as I delve into this next phase, and being able to reflect on ‘Infinity’ during the start of this process has proven to be very useful.”
