”In this sort of process of writing that I’ve discovered that I guess I’m capable of now, with a sober frame of mind, part of that is just not second-guessing it, so if I write something like that, I just do it, and just finish it.”

”Over the past couple of years, I thought, ’OK, I’ve gotta write this next ’Ziltoid’ thing; I’m inspired to make this epic space opera and, like, really overdo it, and [make it] really dark. And so I sat down to write, but every time I went to write, I’d write some poppy hard rock thing. And I was like, ’OK, we’ll get that one out of the way and then I’ll write ’Ziltoid’.’ And I got it out of the way and I’d go write ’Ziltoid’. And I’d write another one. So I’m thinking, ’OK, it’s pretty obvious to me that I’ve got this that wants to come out before that.'”

”Over the course of the full record, there’s sort of new agey stuff, jazzy stuff, really heavy stuff. We basically cover the gamut. ’Epicloud’ is the first record that I felt confident enough to include all those things on one record so it goes between melodic hard rock to schizophrenic heavy metal to country to really ambient stuff and it’s all in one place. I’m using a gospel choir, a string section and a horn section for this one as well. On [the DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT album] ’Deconstruction’, I got to use the Prague Philharmonic [orchestra] and really go far into making an absurd album as over the top as possible and on ’Epicloud’ I’m trying to take the same advantages to make some things musically very pleasing, as opposed to just claustrophobic.”
