Devin Townsend Project | Dark Matters | Album Reaction
1 videos • 0 views • by Cryoflame Audioforge Dark Matters is the explosive, theatrical half of Devin Townsend’s ambitious Z² double album, contrasting the atmospheric Sky Blue with a tongue-in-cheek space metal opera. This record brings back Ziltoid the Omniscient, Devin’s beloved alien coffee-addicted antihero, and places him in a galactic showdown filled with narration, choirs, crushing riffs, and absurd comedy. Unlike traditional metal albums, Dark Matters plays more like a sci-fi stage play with cinematic dialogue woven into symphonic metal arrangements. From the bombastic “Z²”, to the crushing force of “March of the Poozers” and the sprawling madness of “Dimension Z”, the record mixes humor, technical brilliance, and cinematic storytelling in ways only Devin can. It’s over-the-top, self-aware, and yet still deeply musical. For fans of progressive metal with a taste for spectacle, this album is an absolute trip. 🌟 Key Tracks “Z²” – sets the stage with narration and cosmic scale “March of the Poozers” – fan-favorite anthem, heavy and hilarious “War Princess” – symphonic, theatrical, with stunning choir work “Earth” – cinematic crescendo tying humor and grandeur “Dimension Z” – chaotic, unpredictable finale
