In 1997, while continuing with his Strapping Young Lad project, Devin released an album called Biomech, under the moniker of Ocean Machine. This release has caused much confusion over the years, because shortly after its initial release, Devin's label HeavyDevy Records requested that the name of the project be changed to Ocean Machine: Biomech, and the artist be changed to Devin Townsend. Many fans however, still refer to the artist as being Ocean Machine. Interestingly, the Australian distributor refused to change the CD covers, and the album is still released in Australia as Biomech by Ocean Machine.
Prosto.

In November 2006, following a hiatus after the birth of his son Reyner, Devin announced that he is back in his home studio writing and recording material for a new project. This Album is tentatively titled The Mighty Masturbator and Devin describes it as being a mix between Strapping Young Lad, and The Devin Townsend Band. This album will be released under the Devin Townsend name instead of The Devin Townsend Band, and Devin is reported to be creating the album completely by himself. That is, he will be singing, playing guitar, playing bass, playing all synthesizers and samples, and mixing and producing it himself. Devin has stated on the Hevydevy forums that he is using The Drumkit from Hell on this release, which was used by Meshuggah on Catch Thirty-Three, and developed by Tomas Haake of the same band.
