GOD DETHRONED - Content For The Toxic Touch Bonus DVD Revealed

By JAMES

The content on the bonus disc of the upcoming GOD DETHRONED album, The Toxic Touch, has been revealed.
There will be a DVD included - a whole festival show filmed with seven cameras at Summer Breeze 2005. The tracklist from that show was as follows: 'Nihilism', 'Boiling Blood', 'The War Cult', 'Villa Vampiria', 'Sigma Enigma', 'The Art Of Immolation', 'Salt In Your Wounds', 'Soul Sweeper', 'Serpent King'.

The Toxic Touch is the band's sixth album for Metal Blade Records and was recorded at Soundlodge Studios in Germany with Producer Joerg Uken. Mastering was handled at Wisseloord Studios in Holland.

The tracklisting is as follows: 'Faithless', 'Hating Life', '2014', 'Falling Down', 'On Wings of Pestilence', 'The Day You Died', 'Away From Emptiness', 'Macabre World', 'Typhoid Mary', 'Fail to Exist'. The Japanese edition will have a bonus track called 'Bleeding Mirrors'.

Mainman Henri Sattler comments: "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 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."

The Toxic Touch will be released in Germany/Austria/Switzerland on October 20th, and in the rest of Europe on October 23rd. A North American release date will be announced soon.
