Devin Townsend has shared a new video along with the following message:

"First in a series of talking about the gear I'm using this year to record all this music... here's the guitars. Love them all. More to come..."

Guitars featured in the clip below include the Framus DT Stormbender:, Keisel DT NEO, Prestige DT Empath Acoustic and Aristides T/0.

Townsend has several projects on the go at the moment, including The Moth, Casualties Of Cool, Powernerd and Axolotl. He recently checked in with an update on Powernerd, found below.

Rocket 88 is launching a new Devin Townsend book. Titled Overexposed + Underdeveloped, it offers a full-on, illustrated trek through the many stages of the man’s life, from baby to international Canadian prog icon.

The previously unpublished personal photos and professionally taken studio and live shots in the book are captioned by Devin in his unique way. The results trace the development of his musical ventures from before Steve Vai, through Strapping Young Lad, Devin Townsend Band, Devin Townsend Project, Ziltoid and all points between, up to and including the present day.

"When the idea for this photo book came across my desk, I admit that I didn’t think too much about it. I shrugged and said, “Sure… if there’s an interest in that sort of thing, I can get behind it. It should be easy enough…” Through this experience, I ended up in a place where I could say, “Man… what a life. This was you… this was the story of someone named ‘Devin Townsend’ who lived on a tiny little planet in the middle of nowhere,” and I enjoyed it tremendously." - Devin Townsend

The successor and companion to Only Half There, Devin’s collection of personal and professional photographs in Overexposed + Underdeveloped traces his journey from childhood in Canada through teen years in different bedrooms, on to his professional career and beyond parenthood. Captions written by Devin recall memories and details of people, places, haircuts, and strange happenings. The vast majority of the photos in overexposed + underdeveloped have never been published before.
