Has this really been announced?

Kind of. Dev made a post on here not to long ago about how he liked the way the Ziltoid material on Deconstruction sounded with a real band so he was going to hold it off to do a Z2 album.

"Kind of"? I was under the impression it was a definite.....

Well someone saying something isn't really definite, especially when it comes to Dev. I mean it was "definite" when Ziltoid was apart of deconstruction, now he's like an observer. One of his recent posts says he doesn't know how Ziltoid is going to come back, just that he wants to come back. He even mentions a movie. Dev changes his mind all the time, not that changing your mind is a bad thing - but yeah - nothing is definite with him.

Definite!

"Kind of"? I was under the impression it was a definite.....

That's because it is.. http://www.metalsucks.net/2009/11/17/ziltoid-part-2-z2/

Haha.. Dev is quicker at the draw..

Definite!

zing!

Definite!

HAHA

When this happens in the future Devin should get Brendon Small to do animated material for it.

Indeeeeed²!

'In the new record, it’s real drums, orchestra, choirs etc… a REAL doozy…'

OH YEAH!!!

I have a feeling this will be the magnum opus.

Well if it comes off, it souds to me as if it'll be to progheads what "Deconstruction" is assumed shall be for death-heads (even if I believe Deconstruction is more likely to be "technical" as id est as opposed to merely "heavy"). Either way, I am looking forward to it, as I loved the use of what I term "The Gaia Motif" running through Ziltoid, and the layering and progressive elements. It will also be interesting to expand the Ziltoid character more, as we all know how impressive his flail is due to that photoshoot, but what of the motivations behind such debauchery? I honestly don't think finances were the only reason for such behaviour...

The question was still not answered if it were to be pronounced "Zee" or "Zed"

I'd think Zee, because if it was Zed and he ever attained the lofty position of Lord there'd be an awful kerfuffle with this guy:



And then we'd all be fucked.
