With just a week to go till the release of Devin Townsend Project's Z² on 27th October Worldwide, they are now pleased to reveal a track from the Sky Blue side of the double-album. You can check out the lyric video for 'Rejoice' here: http://loudwire.com/devin-townsend-project-rejoice-exclusive-lyric-video-premiere

Devin had this to say about the track:

'Hey guys, here's the first song from Sky Blue, it's called Rejoice. The album in general is about fighting through the ugly moments, and I think this song kind of summarizes it. Z2 was a very challenging record, but after intense personal scrutiny, I  feel very proud. It's the most accurate representation of a challenging time. rejoice! :)  Thanks for the support guys.'
