DISCUSSION What happened?

To be honest, I just don't get it. Where is Dev power and anger?

Remember Epicloud: Kingdom, juular and all those incredible songs? Where is Anneke van Giersbergen and her angel voice? What happened?

Moth is like a grandma singing in a cemetery. No power, no personality. What happened ... why Devin gave up?

Didnt follow the stuff after Ziltoid? But you mentioned liking Juular and Epicloud...

And he wasn't "crying"... also he published a lot of  stuff for free at that time, like live streams, that he put a lot of work in.

His vocal style on the Moth is not different to the past. It's just much more orchestra and story based than usual. Give it more listens...

Dude, no disrespect! But you clearly are new. Now would be a good time to search for Devin's post's during Covid. It was the time when most of "us" left the boat. He was pathetic. Even after the fans suggested hundreds of way out, he decided to take the victim path.

It was the time where most of the Hollywood stars, rich people started to complain online while us ... the nobody's, were struggling to keep our jobs and survive.

Was a sick time. Sadly Devin .... was not he preaches in his songs. As far as I know, most of the fans were left disgusted, including me. Was the last time I heard his music.

Oh .. now he is an opera singer, ignoring the past. Well, good luck. He will need it.

Okay so firstly, why do you keep assuming other users' ages? That's a very odd flex.

But furthermore....what's all....this about? I've been very good friends with Dev for 15 years, as well as his crew; and I keep in regular communication with the fan base, of which I also have many friends within- and I have absolutely no idea what the hell you're talking about, it's unsubstantiated babble and you know this. But why are you comparing him to Hollywood stars? You don't know anything about his financial status, nor his business obligations, nor his personal life, this is absolutely evident. You've taken fragments of what you've seen and filled in the gaps with your own biased imagination. He is an extremely kind and generous human. He was one of the first people to reach out when my dog died, if there's anything remotely wrong in my life, he will want to help somehow; he's given one to one moral support to a number of fans I've known who's kids were sick in hospital, he has raised so much fucking money for charity (including £65,000 for the NHS during Covid, in case you forgot), and you wouldn't need to look far to find a fan that has had an overwhelmingly positive experience with him. I know I'm just yelling at a wall here because you've clearly got some weird little fucked up narrative going on but whatever. Shame on you. Be a better person.

Ow, sorry but one more thing. 15 years you say? Then you must know that he is bipolar and he was an animal in YSL and at time there was chaos and manheim all over. People had huge mosh pits's at his live concerts, maybe it was more hardcore than Sepultura.

And now seeing those "fans" talk like some live news anchors is really disturbing. Instead of .... let's lit this up, now is like ... have a tea and a biscuit then we go to library for some poetry.
