What I love about Devin Townsend's most recent output is he's really transcending the metal space. Sure, there are heavy riffs, but I'm not sure if the music is necessarily metal. Maybe prog metal?
Devy just released a new track, "Secret Sciences" and the seven minute track starts off very serene and slowly builds and builds and then really delivers. Take a listen:

The track is from Devy's upcoming album, Transcendence, out September 9th. This is the second single released from the album. You can also hear "Failure" here.
You can pre-order the album on Amazon.
