From the Artist

"The Toxic Touch is the product of two years of extensive and intense touring all over the world. The new line-up has proved to be superior to all the previous ones. You could see it as a learning process. While everybody knows us as a band with a fine mix between the brutal and the melodic parts, people appreciate us mostly for our groove and melody, especially live. The new album reflects that more than ever before.

The number of blast-beats on this album has been decreased to a minimum. Why? Simply because in a live situation it's probably the most boring part. In the new situation the blast-beat adds something special, the explosion, whereas in the past it was just a common part of our style and therefore `nothing special'...

The fact that our two `new' guys had a lot of time to adapt their style of playing to the band resulted in an album which shows a lot of devotion and intense playing like we were waiting for the fury to be unleashed! And it was...

We decided to choose a relatively unknown studio and producer this time. Jörg Uken's Soundlodge Studio was the chosen one. We heard some of the demos and CD's he produced and in how much time that was done. We felt he would be able to do a killer job when given a proper amount of time. He did the best mixing job we could have wished for. Never before did a God Dethroned album sound this good.

Isaac managed to improve his leads a lot compared to our previous album, we gave Henk his distortion back on the bass, Henri came up with his catchiest lyrics ever, but Ariën totally went over the top on his drum kit. When you play with a drummer on his level, the world needs to hear it. Whoever didn't recognise his skills before cannot escape it this time...

The Toxic Touch has become an album with new and broader influences, techniques and songwriting, but sounds exactly the way God Dethroned should sound anno 2006. This time with our best and heaviest production to date." (Henri Sattler)

5.0 out of 5 stars THE metal CD to own!, January 16, 2007

By 

Metalblond (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Toxic Touch (Audio CD)

Here is the thing with God Dethroned-- when they came out with "Into the Lungs Of Hell" I was so blown away with it that I told everyone that that was THE metal CD to own...and then when they released "The Lair of the White Worm" they outdid themselves and it became THE next CD everyone needed to own. Now they did it again with the " The Toxic Touch". Trust me, this is THE CD you need to own! Actually, all three CD's are MUST haves and if you own all three about 90% of your music collection is now obsolete. Henri is THE voice of metal, the drums are the best on anything I have heard- guitars, bass-- you name it--it can't be beat. The mix on the Toxic Touch CD is heart pounding and the only fault I can find on it is that I want more of it--it ends with me wanting it to keep going on...I can't believe God Dethroned isn't the biggest metal band going but with the way they are heading here with each CD it won't be long now.....All three CDs are different but necessary and your collection is totally lost without them. The most addictive band there is!

5.0 out of 5 stars this release is poisonous!, November 13, 2006

the blast beats may be limited, but God Dethroned still knows how to tear it up with or without them. pardon me for saying this, but they seemed to pick up some melody since their last album "Lair of the White Worm". God Dethroned has proved to the death metal community that it can make do with less blast beats and more melody, and still kick some serious butt!

This review is from: Toxic Touch (Audio CD)

yet another change in lineup, may very well be why this cd was dissapointing. Not very much like there old good stuff. sure change can be good, but this unfortunetly isn't. This cd is no where near as heavy as the previeous. the added melody sounds just plain nothing special here. they were trying for newness, yet it faild,..weak.
