2024 release. Devin Townsend's career is one of many distinct eras. He's been the leader of Strapping Young Lad, the lynchpin of the Devin Townsend Project and the co-architect of country duo Casualties of Cool, all while maintaining his prolific and lauded solo project. Now, the polymath's newest era starts with PowerNerd: a succinct but still progressive record that pulls from it's mastermind's childhood love of vintage rock. From the moment the title track ignites the record with a roar of "PowerNerd!", Devin's 28th studio project is a gallop of melody, noise and emotion.
