Devin Townsend Band Accelerated Evolution Rar Download It To

He is renowned for his ridiculous and meticulous style of stacking guitars and vocals together to create a wall of sound that is a powerhouse of distortion, as well as his ridiculous amount of vocal range and versatility ranging from a caustic shriek attacking society and stupidity to his trademark thrashy yells, and then a brilliant falsetto clean that completely betrays his look.

Anyways, enough about the man, onto the album Accelerated Evolution is a blend of Devins progressive metal, hard rock, and highly melodic pop tendencies merged into one ridiculous blend of atmosphere and progressive structure.

Starting with Depth Charge, one of the first three songs that is heavy albeit catchy showing off his pop metal tendencies in a well off manner.

The production is Devins wall of sound style, with two guitars on each side of the track, and one guitar half-way across both sides and another in the middle for that ridiculously heavy and crushing sound.

His vocals, the clean vocals at least, feature a similar idea to create a sort of natural chorus effect for some of his falsettos.

Tuned to a very unusual tuning for metal (a blues slide guitar and folk tuning, Open C, think Friends off of Led Zeppelin III), the guitars combine low chugging tones, occasional abrasive tremolo lines, counterpoint melodies, and frequent chords overlapping each other.

The lead guitar is much of the same, an unusual style combining intense legato solos sounding very fluid (which is what I think legato translates to from Italian), fluent tapping, and very melodic overtones overall.

The bass is virtually nonexistent, save for a few moments when the guitars and vocals dont crush everything else out of existence.

Ah, a flaw Yes, while the album is produced in a great manner, the impenetrable wall of vocals and guitar force the bass out of the way, with the drums just barely being at the perfectly volume.

Speaking of the drums, they are well done, combining what is necessary for Devins music, technical patterns, simplistic patterns, and few fills, but set up in a complex structure sometimes.

The snare is great, the bass drums are okay but could use a little more oomph and less click, but the drums generally sound much better than on Synchestra, the second album Devin released under this moniker.

So, Devins vocals.

While I mentioned his very versatile vocal range before, he mostly uses the clean side of his talent, which is definitely not a problem.

His clean vocals stretch across all tones imaginable, from the aggressive thrasher vocals on Random Analysis to the beautiful, yet stressed intensity of Deadhead, he is truly a master of his craft.

His harsh vocals arent too shabby either, if less wide ranged.

They consist almost entirely of sinister shrieks or mid ranged growls that sound evil incarnate, but spew either entirely hateful anti-ignorance rants or repressed emotion.

The music is, as stated, very fine with shifting from style to style.

The album never strays into wanky regions or any sort of territory that modern metal usually does, but this isnt your bog-standard metal record.

In fact, its only a metal record by its guitar tone, occasional harsh vocals, and the production.

In the end, this record is one of the greatest products of a human mind, and it so happens to be the work of one of the most eccentric and introverted minds in music, Devin Townsend.
