Devin Townsend Previews 'The Moth' With 'Home At Night' Video

Official Announcement | Published: Apr 23, 2026 3:20 PM EDT

(PFA) Devin Townsend has shared a music video for his new single "Home At Night", which is the second track from forthcoming orchestral-metal opus 'The Moth', that is set to arrive on May 29th.

An album over a decade in the making, it existed in the back of Devin Townsend's mind as his "life's work". Then, about six years ago, after an acoustic show in Amsterdam, Townsend was approached by the head of the North Netherlands' Orchestra and Choir with an offer; and with that moment The Moth stopped being an idea and began to become a reality.

Today, Devin is pleased to release the video for the track 'Home At Night' produced by longtime collaborator Mike Zimmer; a track that shows a more delicate side of 'The Moth', but one that is no less expansive.

Devin comments: "For the second song we release from 'The Moth', I present 'Home at Night'. One of the first pieces written for the project, it came from the difficulty of being away from home with young kids and a family.

The video reflects my relationship with the more "drama student" side of my personality, with a healthy dose of the "trolololo guy" aesthetic :)

Within the arc of The Moth, the song is sung from the point of view of the antagonist on the verge of leaving for battle. The broader story will unfold in time (if people are interested), but at its core, 'The Moth' is a dystopian reflection on transformation-going through the fire to meet ourselves, maintaining equilibrium in difficult moments, and not letting our light fade as the old falls away and the new takes its place."

The Moth constitutes 3 distinct parts across its release. In addition to the main album, The Moth - The Afterlife highlights the grandeur of the orchestra & choir, in what might be considered a more pure version of The Moth experience. The Moth - The War is a recording of the live musical debut that took place in March 2025 in The Netherlands, showcasing the raw emotion of performing The Moth for the very first time.

The Moth will be available on several formats including Ltd Deluxe 3CD+Blu-ray Artbook that includes the album on CD1, 'The Moth - The Afterlife' on CD2 & 'The Moth - The War (Live)' on CD3. The Blu-ray includes the full 'The Moth - The War' live film, as well as Dolby Atmos & High Resolution Stereo Mixes of the 'The Moth' and 'The Moth - The Afterlife'. It will also be available as Limited 2CD Edition (including 'The Moth-The Afterlife' on CD2), Standard CD Jewelcase and as Gatefold Triple-Gatefold 180g 2LP & Fold-Out LP-booklet, as well as digitally.
