God Against God band review by Tiana Miller

GOD AGAINST GOD BAND REVIEW ©TIANA MILLER
"God Against God’s emotively eerie sound engrosses their listeners in a deep tapestry of piquant empathy. Their single “The Veil”, opens with beautifully desolate arpeggios that quickly ascend into powerfully transcendental guitar playing. The steady and familiar bass line ties the evolving experimental composition together beautifully while the vocals seem to stay shakily balanced on a precipice of crescendo laden intensity that’s impassioned sentiments proverbially echo throughout the song. While the heavy percussion adds to the darkness of the song, the more classical elements the cello and piano provide to the experience manifest in a depth and intensity impossible to fake. Their style at once dark and beautiful can be an accurate description of the world as perceived through haunting sensitivity accompanied with an attention to detail that can serve simultaneously as both a curse and a blessing.

While lead singer Eric Violette, is known in the States as the adorably familiar face and voice of free credit report.com, God against God finally shows the talented, provocative and intellectually inspiring capabilities of the practiced musician behind the pop icon encouraging us to check our credit scores.

God Against God is definitely worth exploring for any music collector at the very least for the shocking amount of intricacy and emotional honesty in their compositions. If not a curiosity sparked by the ads Eric Violette authored which you cannot get out of your head. For a flighty but familiar voice out of the darkness of human emotional experience that one can seek both comfort and an outlet for inner torment in as well as instrumental extravagance of an unarguably original format, God Against God is the band to look to. Make sure to get ready to hear more of these guys in the future because I have a feeling a sound so original yet familiar is going to be around for a while." ©TIANA MILLER
