The New Black

The New Black cover art

Serving as the final studio effort before the project's dissolution, the record leans into more accessible song structures while retaining Devin Townsend's signature chaotic density. The writing heavily satirizes the music industry, commercialism, and standard heavy metal tropes. It is a highly energetic and self-aware send-off for the revered extreme metal outfit.
