IoMP 116: What Is Devin Townsend's Heaviest Song?

Trying to define the “heaviest” Devin Townsend song is like trying to explain Devin Townsend to your non-metal friends. You can do it… but they will look at you like you just spoke in algebra.

In this episode of the Influencers of Metal Podcast, Collin and Tom take on the impossible task of ranking the Top 10 Heaviest Devin Townsend Songs—pulling from Devin Townsend, Devin Townsend Project, and all the beautifully unhinged corners of the Devy-verse. The only hard rule? No Strapping Young Lad. That heavy insanity lives in its own dimension.

This episode isn’t just a ranking—it’s a celebration of how heaviness doesn’t have one shape, one tempo, or one scream. Sometimes it’s blast beats. Sometimes it’s emotional whiplash. Sometimes it’s a puppet alien screaming about coffee.

Hit play, argue with the list, and tell us what we got wrong.

Because it’s Devin Townsend—there are no wrong answers. Only louder ones.
