Ziltoidian Empire Lyrics

Calling on the earth's core (part of the mind)
We are human beings!

Calling on the earth's core (part of the mind)
We are humans being!

What will we find, when we all will die?

Collective, this is commander Ziltoid the omniscient reporting
Greetings, Ziltoid... what is that strange creature?!?
Oh, this little thing! Yes... they call it a 'Poozer'
...From the planet Titan?? You must take it back!!!

Calling on the earth's core (part of the mind)
We are human beings!

Calling on the earth's core (part of the mind)
We are humans being!

Where do we find the human soul?
All the searching leads to you!


(I've grown over, I roll over)
I crawl over my life of honour
All these children, entitled horrors...

Meanwhile, far across the solar system,
Queen Blattaria,
a war princess and the mother of the poozers,
realizes one of her children has gone missing!

Oh no... where is my Poozer!!!!!!???

The plot thickens...

(I am nowhere, I am no one... I am nowhere, I am no one)

Commander,
are you sure that the war princess does not suspect it was you who abducted her Poozer?
Oh yes, absolutely collective, indeed.
You should have seen me:
I was in and out like the wind!
Indeed.
She shall never suspect a thing!!
We hope so, for your sake
We cannot risk intergalactic war with Titan.
Where is the Poozer now?

Up to this point,
Ziltoid has had his back turned to the Poozer...
but he makes a break for it.

Quickly,
Ziltoid, show us the Poozer!
Yes, of course,
I've kept a very close eye on him... err...

(We are all in line and we are all prepared to die)

Gadzooks! HE'S GONE!!!

Through the cold abyss of space, the little Poozer races home...

Collective!
I'm sure that he was right here... computer!
Commander?
Please tell me where the Poozer is now...
Current location of the Poozer:
directly through the wormhole.
Hmmmm...
well...
poop.

Through the wormhole,
the Poozer has arrived back on Titan.
He reports to his mother,
the war princess,
what he has seen,
and that it was Ziltoid who had abducted him!
Now the War Princess is a beautiful,
vain,
and rather grumpy creature.
She lusts for power,
and though she is the mother of countless Poozers,
her vanity has made her rather revolted by these "children" of hers.
She is devious;
and knows that she can utilize their blind love and devotion to create a formidable army!
We see now her missing Poozer as it enters her chambers.

Devin Townsend Project began where Ziltoid the Omniscient left off, with Devin Townsend at the helm. The project was a planned four-album series, where instead of assembling one static band, like in The Devin Townsend Band, or performing the entirety of the music himself, as in Ziltoid the Omniscient, the Devin Townsend Project would feature a completely different line-up of musicians for each release. After the success of the first four albums, Devin Townsend decided to continue working under the Devin Townsend Project moniker, releasing his fifth album for the DTP, Epicloud in September of 2012.

The latest release, Z² (short for Ziltoid 2; pronounced "Zed squared") is a double album released on October 27, 2014. It consists of two albums released together: a Devin Townsend Project album, Sky Blue, and a "Ziltoid" concept album, Dark Matters, a sequel to Townsend's 2007 solo album Ziltoid the Omniscient. The main theme of the double album is, according to Townsend, "Ziltoid against the world".

The first album, Ki, was released in May 2009. For Ki, Townsend recruited veteran jazz drummer Duris Maxwell, local bassist Jean Savoie, and the former keyboardist for The Devin Townsend Band, Dave Young. Devin has also recruited Ché Dorval as an additional vocalist.

The second release was titled Addicted. Intended to be a heavy, simplistic, and straightforward rock album, it serves as the bridge from the quieter Ki to the expected zany metal tones of the album following it. The line-up for this album was Ryan Van Poederooyen (also a veteran of The Devin Townsend Band) on the drums, another member of the DTB Brian Waddell on the bass, and Anneke van Giersbergen (notable from The Gathering, Agua De Annique and Ayreon) on guest vocals.

There was an EP released in early 2011. It was only available online (free to download) and named European Tour EP. It featured five live songs, mostly consisting of material from Devin Townsend's solo albums. See more here: http://www.discogs.com/Devin-Townsend-Project-European-Tour-EP/release/2718333

The third and fourth albums were called Deconstruction (which features an array of notable metal musicians and vocalists) and Ghost. Deconstruction and Ghost were released on June 20th, 2011 for both.

Deconstruction features a number of prominent metal musicians as guest vocalists, including Mikael Åkerfeldt, Tommy Giles Rogers, Fredrik Thordendal, Paul Masvidal, Joe Duplantier, Greg Puciato, Ihsahn and other members, including the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

Conversely, Ghost has a static lineup and "is the mellowest (by far) and prettiest record I've done so far" according to Townsend. The album features Katrina Natale, Mike St-Jean, Dave Young, and Kat Epple along with Townsend himself.

The fifth album, Epicloud, features the widest array of sound for the Devin Townsend Project. A full-length pop-metal album, akin to Addicted, Epicloud boasts 13 positive, in your face, pop-metal songs that distinguish Devin from the large majority of contemporary metal bands. Epicloud's line-up features no new musicians for Devin Townsend, and sees the return of Anneke Van Giersbergen on vocals, Ryan Van Poederooyan on drums, Brian Waddell on bass, and Dave Young on guitar and additional keyboards.

On January 31st 2018, Devin stated on his Facebook profile that the Devin Townsend Project was going on a 'break', while he focuses on a number of other projects he's working on.
