** Rule of thumb: Devin Townsend Band is 7-8, Strapping Young Lad is 10 to 11. Ziltoid, which is best described as a fusion of the two styles, falls at about a 9 depending on the song. The Devin Townsend Project is all over the scale - ''Ki'' is 1-3, ''Addicted'' is 6-7, ''Deconstruction'' is 9-10, and ''Ghost'' is a 1.

* DigitalPiracyIsOkay: Has said on [[https://twitter.com/dvntownsend/ his Twitter feed]] that he's not really bothered by people pirating his music because he still gets support from people who want him to continue performing music, which he regards as "a good job we're damn lucky to have. Ultimately, at the end of the day, I write music for ME because it's what I LOVE. And if it ever turns around financially, great... Why the hell would you want to be a musician if having people listen is so conditional? Support if you want, it costs a lot, but I luv it."

* [[MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness Moh's Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]]: Devin Townsend has made music that covers every possible degree. Most of ''Ki'' is 1-3 (reaching about 8 in a song or two) while some of SYL's songs could easily qualify as 10 or 11 ("Rape Song", "Oh My Fucking God", "Shitstorm").

Added DiffLines:

**Ziltoid loves this trope:
-->'''In ''Omnidimentional Creator'':'''\\
Modular forms and elliptic curves!\\
Infinite phi revolving around infinite parallels,\\
fractals of infinite reality,\\
each cascading, gliding in an infinite wheel!\\
Tell me the true nature of my reality!

-->'''In ''Messages from Ziltoid'':'''\\
Reborn,\\
Acknowledging the past of me that was lost.\\
I have repressed too many years!\\
My utopia was within my grasp!\\
Doomed in absentia!\\
Left to be sentenced!\\
Still rising to cherish all the things I have left.

-->'''In ''A Ziltoidian Rapture'':'''\\
Tell me, are you going to finish all that yourself?\\
The knot backwards, he put his jaws upon his beard\\
They make laments upon the wonderous truths\\
Ow! Ow! Ow! Grab me your hand and pluck\\
The branch lit off the great thorn.\\
And the true crime\\
Why dost thou mock me?\\
What's to be?
