Devin Townsend discography
Devin Townsend is a Canadian musician, songwriter, and record producer.
Under the pseudonym Strapping Young Lad, Townsend released the album ''Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing'', in 1995.〔Ankeny, Jason. "(Devin Townsend Biography )." ''Allmusic''. Retrieved June 8, 2009.〕 His debut solo release was 1996's ''Punky Brüster – Cooked on Phonics''. He formed a band under the Strapping Young Lad name to perform his next album, the industrial metal album ''City'', in 1997. Devin started a project initially called Biomech, under the Ocean Machine moniker, to release his less metal-influenced music. It was ultimately released under his own name as 1997's ''Ocean Machine: Biomech''.〔Turner, Tracy. "(Devin Townsend Biography )." ''HevyDevy Records''. Retrieved June 8, 2009.〕 This was followed by his first charting album, the 1998 album ''Infinity'', which appeared at number 29 in Japan.〔 Strapping Young Lad went on hiatus at this time so that Townsend could focus on his solo music, which had a varying lineup of supporting musicians.〔 His 2000 release ''Physicist'' reached number 80 in Japan,〔 and was followed by the 2001 release ''Terria'' which charted in France〔 and Japan.〔
In 2002, Townsend reunited Strapping Young Lad and formed a new group, The Devin Townsend Band, as a permanent fixture for recording and touring for his solo music. The two bands recorded new albums simultaneously, and released ''Strapping Young Lad'' and ''Accelerated Evolution'', respectively, in 2003.〔G., Mike (September 2003). "The Devin Townsend Band: No Holds Barred." ''Metal Maniacs''.〕 The former was Townsend's first album to chart in the US, appearing at number 97 on ''Billboards Top Heatseekers chart.〔 Townsend also released a special edition of ''Accelerated Evolution'' which included an EP called ''Project EKO''. The EP was Townsend's first foray into electronica, a genre which he explored further with ''Devlab'' in 2004.〔 Strapping Young Lad released ''Alien'' in 2005, which charted in four countries,〔〔〔〔 reaching 32 on Top Heatseekers.〔 In 2006, both bands released their final albums, The Devin Townsend Band's ''Synchestra'' charting in three European countries〔〔("Townsend, Devin Band" ).
