GhostCultKeefy caught up with Devin Townsend to discuss The Moth, his landmark twenty-four-track symphonic progressive metal rock opera released May 29, 2026, through Insideout Music, Century Media Records, and his own HevyDevy Records imprint. Devin describes the album as his life’s work and most ambitious project to date, more than a decade in the making, chronicling the full arc of the human experience from birth to death through the central metaphor of personal transformation and self-discovery.

The Moth features vocal contributions from Anneke Van Giersbergen and Lynn Wu of avant-garde outfit OU, alongside a full-circle guitar appearance by Steve Vai, bringing together some of progressive and heavy music’s most distinctive voices for what stands as one of the most expansive solo statements of Townsend’s career.
