Profane by Touching God
At a time when many social and political issues are reaching a breaking point, as systems are ready to collapse down upon the most marginalized, Touching God continue to take a satirical stance on many of them, using the horror genre as a comparison to the horrorshow at hand. The resulting aberration has melded the themes into a twisted chaotic scrapheap of blistering electronic drums, shrill guitar feedback, and desperate shrieks. On the two-piece band’s second EP release, Profane, they reach deep into sources of evil, drawing inspiration from any and all dark corners of extreme music. This new collection of songs and soundscapes is once again informed by the sounds of Uniform, HEALTH, Daughters, Future of the Left, Current Value, Prurient and various others, with mastering by Brad Boatright (The Armed, Greber, Frontierer, etc.) at Audiosiege.

"...spits in the face of conventional music of the heavy variety or otherwise. With devastating discord and electronic drums, Touching God... berates the senses and punishes all for their sins."
( Jeshaiah David, cupsncakespod.com )
"It’s a heavyweight brutal seventeen minutes or so, of that there’s no denying. But listen closely. There is structure. And there is melody. Maybe just not of the Judy garland style, that’s all... Set the mood to ‘creepy.’ "
( Colin Jackson, loudhorizon.com )
"...sounds like what cramming your theremin rod into an electrical socket feels like. Powered by the inhuman stamina of a vengeful drum machine, these dual vocalist-guitarists are left free to explore their fretboards and the distance between a howl and a moan in a overtly punishing and sneakily melodic fashion."

"Touching God's set sounded what I assume hell sounds like."
