With a new Devin Townsend Project double-album coming out,  Z², we’ve got the opening track, “Rejoice” to listen to a week before its official release. This track comes the Sky Blue disc, while the second disc is titled Dark Matters.

Townsend had this to say about the new track:

“Hey guys, here’s the first song from Sky Blue, it’s called Rejoice. The album in general is about fighting through the ugly moments, and I think this song kind of summarizes it. Z2 was a very challenging record, but after intense personal scrutiny, I feel very proud. It’s the most accurate representation of a challenging time. rejoice! 🙂 Thanks for the support guys.”

Guests on this new double album, out October 27th, include The Gathering vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen, Stolen Babies’ Dominque Lenore Persi, and Chris Jericho of Fozzy.
