FREDRIK (most likely THORDENDAL) confirmed for Deconstruction.

"Retweeted by FredrikESP" Which is Fredrik Gierløff. So unless some random twitter user named Fredrik decided to retweet that, that is probably who it is, haha.

I certainly hope it's Thordendal! I've been listening to Catch 33 all morning, ever since hearing the news, and the thought of a solo like the one 5:40 into I, on Deconstruction...

'Deconstruction' is starting to look like a rap album with all the special guests and such. Every song title will have a "(featuring so-and-so)" after it.

Dev is the P-Diddy of metal. lol

The ultimate twist: "Thanks P Diddy!!!! "

Honestly, I wouldn't mind a little Hevy Devy Hip-Hop. That would be pretty sweet.

Floor Jansen! Fuckin epic!

Who else? Alice Cooper?

You mean something like Flying Lotus?

Yeah, something in that vein.

Whoa whoa whoa.... slow down the train to 4% speed. Devin is going to be on the new Gojira EP?

Honestly, I wouldn't mind a little Hevy Devy Hip-Hop. That would be pretty sweet.

For some reason, you've reminded me of Green Jellÿ & 3 Little Pigs.
Anyway, it's starting to look like the amount of people working on this album may result in filling an entire booklet page with writing this small.

That's a price I am willing to pay. Besides, my reading glasses are close by.

When Dev asks P Diddy about having him as a guest:


"...what the fuck's this shit?"

LOL claggy, you are my new hero.

Just read all 104 pages of this thread. Learned several things:

This has only cemented more for me that this will probably (imo) be the greatest album he's ever produced. Hell, that anyone has.


Some people don't know how to read. It's ridiculous how many times people asked "is gene gonna be on the record?" or how many times Devy calmly said "no",. Then, when he asked what recommendations people had for drummers, & specifically said "other than Gene", people were still asking about him. THEN, months later when he referenced multiple drummers working on the record, people were still asking about him. Gotta be rough sometimes, having to wade through all that.


Dev's said multiple times "If you expect SYL for this album you.will.be.disappointed", yet people still go on asking "Will it be like Alien? Or City?" He's definitely got more patience than me, I would've snapped. I loved SYL too, but it's dead. We got 5 great albums. If it's not conducive to Dev's well-being, he shouldn't do it, plain & simple. Yet there are people out there (not necessarily here) who would rather he just grind himself into the ground making albums like that for the rest of his life.

If I recall, that's part of the whole concept behind Decon, isn't it? People wanting heavy/extreme at all costs, at the detriment/exclusion of everything else, including the artist.

Finally, if this record's this intense, I cannot wait to see it's counter-balance, as well. Ghost is shaping up to be just as monstrous.

Very nicely said.

I think Decon is going to highly reflect what people have been asking from Devin for the last few years. You nailed it the concept. It is sad to see people bugging over and over again about getting this and that musician back and Devy having to patiently repeat himself every few pages.

I wonder if it would be smart to close these Decon threads and start a new one that has all the information right on the first page and a notice in the topic a notice for people to read the information on the first page. First off it really ticks me off that we have two threads... both going in separate directions. aaarrggghh.... second people coming and posting the same questions.. arrgghhh.... Kinda makes me feel like there is disorder and chaos. Sort of like the forum has turned into the song Shitstorm.
