We’ve known that Devin Townsend was working on Ziltoid 2 for some time now, and now we know that he’ll be touring behind it alongside Animals as Leaders and Monuments. The Abstract Reality tour, zig-zagging through Canada and the United States in November and December, is going to rip, even if we’re going to have to wait until the middle of November to see it. The admat for the tour also says that Ziltoid 2 will be out on October 27th, so now we’ve also got that to look forward to. Still, that means you have to wait nearly three months to hear it. But this tour is going to be a progressive metal fan’s dream. Here are the dates:
