In a timely move ahead of World Mental Health Day, Devin Townsend has announced the upcoming release of "Harmonic Dharma" under his DREAMPEACE banner on Friday, 16 October. The project is designed specifically to combat insomnia and provide a sense of calm for listeners struggling to unwind.

Townsend, who has faced his own battles with sleep, created DREAMPEACE as a sanctuary for those seeking mental equilibrium. While "Harmonic Dharma" was initially offered as a limited-edition CD during his recent "Metamorphosis" European tour—a 23-date acoustic run across 10 countries—the remaining copies are currently being prioritised for his Patreon community before the official streaming release.
This project serves as a "nourishing harvest" following a month-long spiritual retreat after the completion of his ambitious "The Moth" album. "This is music to create balance within oneself and the world," Townsend explains. "I sincerely hope it brings you the peace it has brought me."

My aim with this music is to provide a soundtrack for anxious minds.

While the album offers a tranquil contrast to his typically massive production, it follows a grueling period of transition. During his recent tour, Townsend navigated profound personal losses, including the end of a 36-year relationship and the death of his dog. He notes that the "Metamorphosis" tour, while emotionally taxing, forced a sense of clarity regarding his identity and future. Moving forward, the DREAMPEACE project stands as a dedicated offering for anxious minds in need of a steadying soundtrack.
