Devin Townsend Project- Epicloud.

Terria is the fifth solo album by Canadian musician Devin Townsend. The album was released in August 2001 on Townsend's label, HevyDevy Records. Feeling he had "attracted a bunch of poo" with his previous album Physicist (2000), Townsend felt he had the chance to make a more personal and honest record. Townsend was inspired one morning while driving across Canada with his band, and looked to write an "introspective" album dedicated to his homeland.

In his most acclaimed release, Devin Townsend produces an album with immense detail - Terria. The amount of layering of tracks involved here is so much so that it's highly doubtful one will have found every detail even after numerous listens.

Terria is the fifth studio album by Canadian musician Devin Townsend. The album was released on November 6, 2001, on Townsend's label, HevyDevy Records. I began to find myself in a place of reconciling the whole 'City, Infinity, Physicist' period in my mind, and through small amounts of touring with the SYL guys (playing all manner of my material), had a bit of an epiphany while on tour in Canada supporting a band called 'The Smalls'

Devin Townsend is an artist known for his strange, yet undeniably original and unique music. Terria' is no exception. However, it's full beauty did not reveal itself to me until after a good many listens. At first listen, one may be puzzled by the overtracked recording, surreal lyrics, and incredibly anti- commercial approach to myself. Terria' has such a magic power about it, bestowing upon the artist the power to transport you wherever he wants you to go. A very earth-based album (much alike Synchestra) there are many recurring themes of nature wound around the music. Possibly the most defining quality of Terria, and Devin Townsend's music (in my opinion) is his unparelleled recording technique.

It is for this reason that the album can provoke a whole lot of writing and talKing, and this is why the album can be rightfully recognized as the best of Davin’s works. Most of us live in cities: huge, large, medium, small - it doesn’t matter. The city is constantly teeming with activity, same things repeat constantly, all our lives here are equally monotonous (like ants in an anthill).

Devin Townsend is involved in many projects, most notably this, his solo project, and Strapping Young Lad. His music is usually heavy and often loud, and that's why Terria comes as such a surprise. The result isn't Devin's "sell-out" album by any stretch of the imagination - Terria is vast and experimental, with many tracks full of synth and ambience, but not so much that it dominates the record, rather acting as another layer to draw the listener in. That's something you do have to do with this album - concentrate.
