Following the success of 2012's Epicloud, Devin Townsend released a special CD/DVD set, The Retinal Circus, in 2013, which featured a full choir and theatrical cast, visual and aural enhancements unlike any show Hevy Devy has done to date, several guest appearances, circus performances and more. This past May, Devin also self-releasedCasualties of Cool, an album that was crowd-funded by his hardcore fan-base, who pledged over 500% of the project's goal.

For a preview of The Retinal Circus, be sure to check out the live video for "Grace"; a video for the Casualties of Cool's "Flight" can be viewed here.
