Devin Townsend has revealed through Twitter that he is currently working on a symphony which he describes as “Massive ‘life work’ type shit.”. He will be joined by an unnamed orchestrator early next year to begin scoring it. Additionally, the former Strapping Young Lad frontman has also written a new album for his current musical outlet the Devin Townsend Project.

To not purge music is a fast lane to crazy for me. Sobriety helps me keep the pieces together. It's an odd problem to consider but grateful
