Devin Townsend shows how a Vancouver metal genius makes a video

Local metal genius Devin Townsend played Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom last night, on a coheadlining bill with Sweden's Katatonia.

We don't have a review of that gig, but here's the next best thing: a big-budget, Hollywood-backed video Townsend shot for "Lucky Animals", a song off the Devin Townsend Project's upcoming album, Epicloud.

Prepare yourself for some extreme jazz hands.

Eat your heart out Steve Vai.
