Devin Townsend Project - Ho Krll (Bonus Track)

[CannibalCorpse909]

These songs that "didnt make it on the album" are incredible. What an amazing talent.

[MrZRecords]

FUCK!!! NICE!!! bESIDES THE FOUR ALBUNS IN A ROW A CANT GET ENOUGH

[homenucleonic666]

DEV is an hear hypnotic magician, what an amazing solo

[JamesDMusic100]

fucking. amazing.

[MrZRecords]

I KEEP IT ON OVER AND OVER AGAIN OVER AND OVER AGAIN

[Liverslapper]

Who is the asshole who disliked this song!

[Visuvh]

Marvelously intriguing

[Rainybliss]

Amazing! My favorite Decon song yet, I think. Thanks for sharing. :) Can't wait to get the box set.

[kingfullmetal]

@Rainybliss The box set is absolutely worth the money. I've listened to all four albums many, many times, and I've watched the DVDs provided several times, as well!

[cooliovasquez]

this is seriously amazing. he shouldve saved this for a real album

[phreestylesk8r]

i love this song

[psyoptica]

It always bums me out when a great song is relegated to a b-side, but the dedicated fans end up finding it eventually.

[biomech1]

The solo......

[jormamolo]

MIGHTY MIGHT DUCKS! MIGHTY MIGHT DUCKS!

[ntaper82]

Dev writes more music than stephen king writes books i love it.

awesome song!!!!

[bravehat1]

Cause maybe Townsend in his infinite wisdom decided to make a song he liked? An artist makes music that expresses how they feel, you just get to view their stream of consciousness, the songs not for you.

[wolfmantough]

incredibly boring until the 4:00 mark. i dont get the hype. why is the track mastered to have so much B.S. echo-ey ambient effect?

[biomech1]

I love this song, can't stop listening to it.....

[Seligsuper]

This is a great bridge between Addicted an Deconstruction... I feel like it should melt into Praise the Lowered.

[MidnightKraehe13]

Fanboys? DEVIN YOU GOT FAN GIRLS OVER HERE! *claps*

[Xaxaar]

Kinda like Infinity and Deconstruction's bastard child. I like it.

[OBNOXIOUSUSERNAME]

I wish I had a full album of stuff like the part that starts at 3:06

[dengrego]

@OBNOXIOUSUSERNAME he has released such an album and it's called Deconstruction -.-

[OBNOXIOUSUSERNAME]

@dengrego Not really, this song kinda has its own thing going, that's why it's not on Decon.

[BirdhouseMaster]

NOW!

[TheRealJES]

On which version of Deconstruction was this song?

[b4p7a86]

@TheRealJES it's an iTunes bonus track

[TheRealJES]

@b4p7a86 Ah, thanks. :-)

[mrdevecseri]

what* he's saying.

[mrdevecseri]

Can everyone who has twitter please bomb devin with "please post lyrics to ho krll"

on his formspring ask me questions thing too. Please. I have been because I really want to know that hes saying, this is probably my favourite song of his. DO IT! If we all ask him maybe he'll feel pressured..

[EcafDas]

I love the shit out of the intro so much.

[Kirkus]

That sound at 4:01 is so fucking cool. 

[Tenniru]

I feel like this is a pretty decent transition between Deconstruction and Ghost. Maybe I'm diluting it with my own personal feelings about the song, but it fits; after the final liberation in "Poltergeist", this feels like a "getting your shit together" song, taking a first unsteady breath after going through some massive stress. The meticulous but huge buildup, the forward-looking lyrics ("let me go through into tomorrow") and the very peaceful coda seems like it fits the DTP story very well.

[myarmsyourhearse22]

0 dislikes, now that's fucking awesome! <3 this song!

[Edd731]

This is what Dev's brain would sound like if you could hear it whirring away as he thinks up more epic music. Loved his racket since I heard Detox (SYL) on a Metal Hammer compilation cd fecking years ago I think around about the Infinity period or a bit before then. Met him a few times, such a warm, funny all-round wicked guy.

[assphinktersaiswhat]

it feels very Themepark like xD

[TheBaronHarkonnen]

I utterly adore this song, so much, with all my heart. I am definitely a Hevy Devy fanboy, and have no problem admitting that.

Now, if I could just find the lyrics somewhere...

[slayerulz11]

this sounds like a left over SYL track, and im loving the fuck out of it

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

Uhm... In what edition was this song? I brought the double cd Deconstruction/Ghost but it's not in there. Is it in a Ltd Edition or for preorder?

[DatIsSumGudShit]

@THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE this is on itunes edition

[HypeLizard]

man, when the guy feels like doing a coherent guitar solo, he can really give a nice one. I loved the solo until the pitch shifted sweeping, it was amazing

[Imperialmusicfan]

@HypeLizard

Couldn't agree more....the solo was perfect until that sweeping part! That's probably the only thing I wish Devin would change and occasionally add more straight-ahead type solos to his music... but his distaste in guitar solos is widely known so....

[DragonPunch1911]

Gosh, want this on my album!! Should have got it on itunes instead of a signed copy from dev himself... haha

[jtmcneil90]

this song didn't really need to be on the album. it was already 70 minutes! which is insane.

[smugmeister]

100:0 likes:dislikes

keep it up!

[MrHDfreak]

Wall of Sound

[DrMopinker]

Now I don't feel like a tr00 fan because I didn't buy on iTunes :(

[rikkirimpi]

Can´t stop listening to this. It´s just too awesome!!

[TheRiverDragon01]

Nevermind, looks like it was an Itunes exclusive when you bought the album.

[TheRiverDragon01]

Where do get this from, I got some of the bonus songs from Ghost 2 when I bought the Calm and the Storm album pack and was just wondering where one would go about getting this from.

[supertimideboy]

The drums sound like RVP but it could be Dirk. What do you guys think?

[DoneJone]

@supertimideboy

It's Ryan. : )

[supertimideboy]

@DoneJone Thanx, I though it would be him by the sounds of it. He's really awsome. Thx for the up ;-)

[Surselythomas]

3:37-4:30 Best Part



[Esmeraldasbitch]

UGH, need to download!!!

[lasoogneypubes]

Apparently Devin's not gonna do Z2. He decided that humor and metal don't mix. Check out his wikipedia page.

[bugasmike]

@lasoogneypubes dont believe everything on the internet. dev has told me directly on twitter that Z2 has always been the plan. it just isnt what he's going to do next. Epicloud will be the next album. plus he also included that Z2 will include much more guest stars then Decon.

[oAPXo]

@bugasmike Actually he said he was working on Ghost 2, Z2 was going to happen whenever he felt like it. But then again, I would prefer a Z2, the first was just a epic musical. :)

[bugasmike]

@oAPXo actually ghost 2 is already done its just left over ghost tracks that gave off a dark vibe and didnt fit the music on ghost. Z2 will be a full on musical with lots of guest appearances it will happen after EpicLoud. EpicLoud will have anneke on it. nothing about it being a musical. although he has been playing lots of bass for it..

[Meriliniel]

@bugasmike thanks for the info! nice to hear he's working with anneke again in the future :) and Z2 will be awesomely awesome!

[innerprimate]

@lasoogneypubes Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia lol

[plagueonwheels]

@innerprimate

actually i think i remember reading this in an interview somewhere as well, but he ended up changing his mind, we ARE talking about devin townsend here, he tends to change his mind.

[TellerWest]

This DOES sound like Decon....and I mean that in the most pleasant possible sense.

[MasterGargos]

Damn I didn't know about this bonus track till now, bought it as a single though because I already had the physical cd already :)

[SSHGL]

I think this may have been the original beginning for the album until Praise the Lowered came around. This sounds like a good intro song for the insanity of Deconstruction.

[EvillBob]

WHAT IS THIS AND WHERE IS MORE LIKE IT!?

[min7b20billion]

@EvillBob Just search Devin Townsend; you wont be disappointed.

[BustedZen]

Holy fuck, I haven't heard Devin shred like this in a while! It's so rare...it's like seeing a damn dragon or something! Great song.

[o0ZporK0o]

I bet this would be amazing live

[Epelismi]

So very Ziltoidy :o would be perfect for Z2

[ChrisXDumbass]

@Epelismi Dude, you are so right, this sounds like a song that should be on Z2!

[BlaggBaskalla]

Lol sounds like baby kittens on meth niiice

[Radwalls]

I love this song, It sounds like a really really heavy infinity.

[Zickmund]

i like endless blast beats

[Iznoghoul]

Dev said on the forum it did not make it on the album because the mix wasn't to his taste. And I kind of agree, the track is mind great but sometimes you hear either too much drum or guitar and not enough the vocals.

[cardoormorris]

how do i get this song? i bought the cd and itunes has this song as album only now:/

[mortician001]

@cardoormorris download it from here

[rodhavji]

man i cant help it. i just like devys music. if that makes me a fanboy then im a fanboy. devin is a freaking genius

[chessbrainiac]

@rodhavji You know, your comment is simply spot on. It just seems that Devin is incapable of making bad music. Everything he releases is pure brilliance, each in its own right. And the diversity makes his music that much more interesting.

[windriderrr]

@rodhavji Nothing wrong with being a Devin fanboy. At all.

[rstkam]

@rodhavji Where all fanboys, and this is because...

devin is a genius.

[MrDodgyh]

@rstkam we're



[MrDodgyh]

we're

[MrDodgyh]

WE'RE ALL FUCKING FAN BOYS! CLAP YOUR HANDS

[Asche13500]

@MrDodgyh True !

[vulturedesign]

fuck... just enjoy the shit, don´t be so dickheads and stop fighting on the youtube fucking chat, thank you

[TheOrangeFondler]

@vulturedesign rawrrrr fighting on youtube badasssssss

[entityfromthisrealm]

@vulturedesign I totally agree on this one.Often, those who accuse other of being 'fanboy's.forget they also love certain music, which, according to them, makes them in their own right what they call music enthusiasts.

Music relates to peaple.It all comes down to personal experience.

[ekoturnip]

PMSL @ brah

[Bukkarooo]

See, I love this song, and think it's a great last song for the album. At least, in the context of listening to the DTP albums in order. For me, the beginning of this almost feigned the beginning of Ghost, since I wasn't looking at my music player. Also, I honestly wouldn't use "chaotic" to describe Decon. Yes, it's crazy and changes a ton, but all the layers in it have their place and are well put together, so it feels complex to me, but not necessarily chaotic.

[THX256]

I think this could have fit in the album, it's not necessarily a heavy track like the rest of the album but it does have an 'epic' feel. I could see it in the middle before the last 3 tracks as kind of a 'breather' track.

No big deal though. Still a cool song on it's own.

[Bassbait]

This honestly would have fit best on Addicted, not on Deconstruction. Deconstruction is intense, and being a huge fan of SYL, I think that this just wouldn't belong at any point in Deconstruction, just as it would not have fit at any point in Alien or City. Of course, Deconstruction is different from those albums, but the point is still the same.

[theconjob]

@Bassbait I have to disagree completely. This track, while not heavy, is definitely chaotic enough for Decon. Addicted is far too calculated and straight faced to have hosted this track successfully, it's a very rigid sounding album, the songs have definitive structure and are a lot surer of themselves.

That's not to say Addicted is better than Decon btw, just saying there's very distinct differences in them and this bonus track would fit the musical tone and structure of Decon more IMO

[Bassbait]

@theconjob I get your point, but my point is that Deconstruction is TOO chaotic for this. This kind of soft song was already used in "Praise the Lowered". Deconstruction is all about twists and turns, and there's no point in Deconstruction where this song would have been a twist or turn. It's like having "Centipede" in City. It just doesn't fit the flow of the album for me, it feels out of place in an album such as this. This feels, musically, like something to show up on Ziltoid or Addicted.

[Nebuchadnezzer385]

@Bassbait I think you are right in that this would fit with ziltoid more than any dtp albums. it has that flowing quality that would put it more in line with, say, texada, but the heaviness would make it a great candidate for an idea for a track if there's a Z2.

[foursmallhats]

@Bassbait Hence "Bonus track."

[kaylor666]

I would take this in place of Pandemic

[MetalMikeCass]

@kaylor666 REALLY?

Pandemic is one of Deconstructions sickest tracks, I think.

[kaylor666]

@MetalMikeCass I hate endless blast beats.

[Seligsuper]

It fits at the beginning.

[Andinator]

This would have set up Ghost beautifully if this was at the end of the physical album. The jump between Poltergeist and Fly is a bit too abrupt IMO

[xxxserialxxx]

@Andinator That's where's it's meant to go.. this is a bonus track when you buy the album on iTunes.

[RandomJackOfDoom]

@xxxserialxxx According to Devin's post on the forum, this was meant to go in between TMM and Pandemic.

[huntermc]

Stupid iTunes - I'd gladly buy this song as a single, but it's only available if you buy the entire album. Since I already have the CD, I'm not buying it again!

[MotleyDeth]

@huntermc For real??? What the hell! Well, I have no shame in converting this video to mp3 then.

[noobpota2]

I had absolutely no idea this existed

[aggbala]

it sounds like a more epic ending then poltergiest imo. real harmony with some wicked chaos :D

[MotleyDeth]

Well even though I bought the physical CDs, looks like I'll be downloading the exclusives as well :P

[6ft2britishmale]

This was originally supposed to be between Sumeria and TMM, so I think it would have fit the flow quite well. Really awesome song, shame it didn't make the cut. Maybe it was a length issue?

[awesomelikeapossom]

@6ft2britishmale I think he did it as a bonus track after the fact,I know alot of the stuff he wrote for Ghost is going to be on Ghost 2 Take for example Radial Highway..I was looking forward to that song so much :) But guess i have to wait for Ghost 2 :) Nevertheless amazing song!!

[bugasmike]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­

[jucifer77]

Bloody hell I was not ready for that just as great as everything else......

[ViperRob42]

Very nice, yea just read this is a itunes exclusive track
