Accelerated Evolution is the sixth studio album by Canadian musician Devin Townsend and the first recorded with his backing group, the Devin Townsend Band. It was released on March 31, 2003, by Townsend's independent label, HevyDevy Records. Written and produced by Townsend, the album is an alternative rock album. Townsend, the lead vocalist and guitarist, assembled a group of musicians to perform with him on the album: guitarist Brian Waddell, drummer Ryan Van Poederooyen, bassist Mike Young, and keyboardist Dave Young. This lineup was named the Devin Townsend Band, created as a counterpart to Townsend's extreme metal project Strapping Young Lad. Accelerated Evolution was written and recorded at the same time as Strapping Young Lad's self-titled album, with Townsend dividing his time between the two. After its release, Townsend toured North America to promote the album, sometimes playing in a joint billing with Strapping Young Lad. The album was well received by critics for its blend of genres, accessibility, and large-scale rock production style. The album appeared in the French and Japanese sales charts for one week.
