ZILTOID INHERITS THE SKULLET!

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010 at 11:00am by

We at MetalSucks shed a collective tear when Devin Townsend announced he’d shaved his trademark skullet a couple of years back, but rejoiced when he announced this past Fall that he’d soon be working on a new Ziltoid album and that the next generation Ziltoid puppet would inherit Devy’s locks of nasty grease love.

In a video posted over the weekend by the aptly named “poopynuggeteer” (aka Devy himself) Devin unveils the skullet from the box in which it had been resting in peace, and affixes it to Ziltoid’s putrid skull; and I gotta say, it suits Zilty extremely well! He looks ravishing. We also get a sample of what we can assume is new music from Z2; and it sounds likes it’s going to be as cooky and brutal as the original.

    That’s not new music it’s from the original.

    Oh the irony; so hyped on Dev yet you can’t recognize Solar Winds from ZTO. Shame on you guys… shame on you.

      :facepalm:

      Can’t wait to listen to the new Z album. The first one is amazing like a big set of natural breasts.

    Was gonna comment on the music being solar winds but everyone has beaten me to it.

    Also when he says “You will eat a bag of shit” i lol’d

    Yeah not good that you can’t recognise Solar Winds and appear to be fanboys.

      Yeah. You talk up ZTO like you loved it, yet you can’t recognize a clip from the album when you hear one.

      Granted, you probably hear tons of albums weekly, so it might be hard to keep track of it all. But then again, this seems like something Rikki Rachtman would do on “Headbanger’s Ball”: Talk to a band like they’re the best thing ever when it was obvious he’d never heard a note of the band’s music.

      Vince Rachtmanstein has a nice ring to it, though.

    Glad that got settled

    • Honeynutzz

      It’s good to see that you’re ok.

    • ohnoes

      I thought we’d lost you forever! :(

  • Scuba Steve

    I frantically re-watched the video waiting to hear a glorious sample from Z2, only to realize vince was a noob.

    While I approve of this blog entry because Devin rules, you guys shouldn’t be surprised about MetaSucks’ lack of knowledge concerning Devy.

    Those guys had such posts as “OMG DIDJA KNOW DEVIN WAS ON A VAI ALBUM?” and “DIDJA KNOW DEVIN CAN ALSO SING?” This being posted like this year. But let’s forgive them because of Devin running the site the other day and Paul Masvidal’s blog makes up for it.

    I was going to say that was just Solar Winds, a different mix from the original album though. But not much.

  • Strapping Young Lad

    HURAAAY!! I was hoping the new puppet would be sillier. It looks the same!! O well, still awesome!

  • Tacoloft

    I am so stoked for a new Ziltoid album. Must pre-order. DT is the man.
