Description

Remfry sat down to chat with Devin Townsend, the multi-faceted Canadian musician, songwriter and producer to discuss his most recent record Empath. Townsend talks about working with an orchestra, inviting Chad Kroeger to do backing vocals and incorporating multiple genres together as a musical metaphor for empathy.
After our in-depth 45 minute interview, Steve and Remfry also provide a primer for Devin Townsend for those who don't know where to start with his mammoth back catalogue and finally give their view on Empath, the most ambitious musical statement to date from one of the most ambitious musicians working today.

If you’re here then we’d like to assume you are a music fan with impeccable taste, and appreciate the job we’re trying to do in promoting the very best in alternative music. Both Stephen and Remfry (that’s us) have written and spoken millions of words about our favourite bands in everything from The Independent and The Guardian to Metal Hammer and Team Rock Radio, and beyond. We have dedicated large chunks of our lives to passionately promoting our favourite music, but never has there been an outlet that offers us the opportunity to rep for all the many genres of alternative music that we adore. Until now. Whether you are a fan of brutal death metal or wistful singer songwriters, three chord punk rock or sprawling prog epics, we believe that music in all of its forms deserves to be celebrated. So we started Riot Act to do exactly that. This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy
