Without much in the way of warning, Devin Townsend officially launched the new Ziltoid website complete with the first episode of the long-await Ziltoid TV series! Everything is exactly as awesome as you thought it was going to be and then some. Devin had this to say on his Facebook upon the laucnh of the site.
"Hey guys! Devin here… been a few weeks since the Z2 album was delivered, and we've been getting everything ready for the upcoming tours and the release of the records. As I've mentioned, Z2 is an experiment for me in trying different mediums to illustrate a concept, and as such…I'm really excited to present to you the new Ziltoid website, and the first of three ZTV episodes leading up to the album release! The crowd-funding campaign has allowed me to actualize Ziltoid and its music in ways I'd always hoped for, and the idea with the three web episodes is to set up the concept of the album. This first one is less over the top than it gets by episode three, but it needs to establish the whole story before it gets more absurd. It is a great pleasure to be able to do this, and was an awesome experience (other than having to explain to management and family why I spent so much money on puppets).
Thank you for the support and allowing me to continue!!"
In the mean time, you should probably get tickets to Devin's upcoming tour. The next installment of the Ziltoid series, Z2, will be out October 28.
