Devin Townsend Project is a Canadian musical ensemble led by the prolific musician and songwriter Devin Townsend. Having first gained prominence as the frontman of the extreme metal band Strapping Young Lad, Devin transitioned into a solo career where he exhibited a remarkable range of styles, from progressive metal to ambient. Eventually, this journey led to the formation of the Devin Townsend Project (DTP) in 2009, as a platform to explore and meld his diverse musical influences with a rotating cast of talented musicians.

The ensemble is known for its seamless integration of heavy riffs, ethereal backdrops, and operatic vocals, with Devin Townsend at the creative helm. Their discography features ambitiously themed albums, like the bombastic space opera 'Z²' and the intricate metal/rock fusion heard on 'Epicloud' and 'Deconstruction.' Devin Townsend Project's live performances are equally lauded for their energy, precision, and grandeur, as captured in well-received live albums such as 'Devin Townsend Presents: Ziltoid Live at the Royal Albert Hall' and 'Ocean Machine - Live at the Ancient Roman Theatre Plovdiv.' The band's persistence in pushing the boundaries of music genres while maintaining cohesive storytelling and emotional depth has earned them a dedicated following in the progressive metal scene.
