Our Take

Devin Townsend has always been a musical enigma, a mad scientist of sound if you will. And his latest offering, 'Devolution Series #3 - Empath Live In America', showcases all his eccentricities in all their glory. This limited edition digipak is a must-have for any die-hard fan.

From the moment the album kicks off with the explosive 'Borderlands', you are transported into a world of sonic mayhem. Townsend's vocals are as powerful as ever, soaring over intricate guitar riffs and thunderous drums. The live setting only adds to the raw energy of the tracks, making you feel like you're right there in the front row, beer in hand, head banging away.

Tracks like 'Genesis' and 'Spirits Will Collide' showcase Townsend's range as a musician, seamlessly blending heavy metal with intricate prog rock elements. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, with moments of pure euphoria followed by crushing despair.

The limited edition digipak also comes with a bonus DVD featuring behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the band. It's a rare glimpse into the mind of a musical genius, and definitely worth the extra coin.

Overall, 'Empath Live In America' is a triumph for Devin Townsend, cementing his status as one of the most innovative musicians of our time. If you're a fan of progressive metal or just looking for something a bit different, this album is a must-listen. Verdict: 9/10.
