You’ll find influences from Zao, Hopesfall, and Poison The Well intertwined with their forward-thinking metal instincts to create a vital 2025 release. Vinyl available here.
Listen here. Since their inception, the Michigan outfit has used musical guerilla campaign tactics and a resilient DIY work ethic to make their way onto nationwide festivals and a full UK tour while gaining notoriety from metal’s top publications including Metal Hammer, Brooklyn Vegan, and New Noise Magazine. Speaking about the new album, Wounded Touch says, “Sometimes you write an album because your band just needs new music to tour on. And sometimes you write one because there are ideas drilling their way into your brain and thoughts eating away at your core when you try to sleep at night and the only place to put it is in a song. Since the last record, several members got married or became fathers, some had career changes due to a shifting global market, and some of us moved to start fresh, and the focus of our writing shifted to the rhythm of a mortal clock ticking away, the need to capture the feelings and fears of the moment for each of us. We gave the world another eleven songs with this second LP because there were some things we needed to expunge from our souls, and some people we needed to immortalize. The five of us tried to write the record each of us needed the most in our formative years, and it yielded ‘A Vivid Depiction of Collapse,’ our eleven stages of grief and acceptance.”

Even since their infancy, the Michigan outfit Wounded Touch have used musical guerilla campaign tactics to make their way onto the likes of The Fest, Furnace Fest ’21 and ’23 official pre-shows, SXSW, tour the United Kingdom, and sell out the first pressing of their debut LP while fighting for every inch of ground not given. Bringing influence through the scope of the nostalgic 2000s metalcore/mathcore sound, the band aims to always keep their heads down, remain humble, and push forward through any means necessary if it means continuing to be loud, noisy, and frantic on as many stages as possible. |
