After listening to Devin's podcasts about the Terria-Physicist era, it makes seeing this footage all the more interesting. He was dealing with significant depression and was self-medicating, not sleeping much. The hairstyle and the dark bags under his eyes reflects what he said about that time in his life. I'm glad he eventually got healthy but man, back-in-the-day Dev was an absolute force of nature. He truly exuded pure distilled rage and it resonated so much with me. Thank you for uploading this piece of metal history!

Yeah having gone straight from the podcasts to this; this LIVE show now just feels sickening to watch for me. Like as you mentioned, if you play close attention you can see the shit he was going through reflected on his face, and I'll add in his stage presence too. It looks horrid to watch and I can only imagine how much worse it would've been to actually perform while actually going through that shit. If I was Devy I wouldn't want to be in a light-year of SYL, if these were the memories I had of it.

When "City" was released, I remember i read an album review in a Norwegian music magazine (remember those?) and the reviewer absolutely savaged the album, said it was uninteresting, far too fast, too chaotic and reminded him most of all of being stuck inside a centrifuge for 40 minutes. 1 star. So I had to listen to the album, went to the record store and listened in the listening booth (remember that?!) and I was in absolute awe. Bought it, and never got bored of it. Listens to it regularily, along with "Heavy as". Sadly that chaos and anger disappeared with subsequent albums, but boy did heavy devy shine bright with those two albums. But I'm happy for him still, take care of your brain first, then make art. Millions of fans still loves his mellower endevours.

@@rlm4471 Well, the ingenious thing about angry music is that you get the energy and exhilaration of rage without being actually angry, and no one bears any consequence from what is otherwise a destructive emotional outburst. But, of course, I'm happy that Heavy Devy found peace in his life, I just miss his fantastic creations from when he needed to vent through the music. Sadly, I find his music less interesting now.

Man.. the earlier the Strapping performance I happen to find on YT, the more seriously curious I get to learn just exactly how the actual god damn hell Gene Hoglan, metal drummer from Texas, originally in Dark Angel, by some wild but fortunate circumstance, wound up in SYL, a Canadian post apocalyptic industrial experimental symphonic death metal project with the bassist from Fear Factory, some beet farmer looking dude named Jed, Willie the LSD addict tech geek, and Devin part time psychotic evil music genius ringleader....

Hmmm!, Interesting perspective sir, thank you for sharing for sure. As for me, My cousin and I were very fortunate (also shocked, fascinated and genuinely terrified) to experience Strapping at Ozzfest 2006, we had no knowledge of them before they took stage, and good god... Did they musically traumatize us haha, in the best possible way. What's even better is, having arrived just as the first openers finished sound check, we had secured front and center positions on the rail, very happily and closely bared witness to late stage SYL Devins mental god damn insanity haha. Cousin and I couldn't have been more than 16-17 at the time.
