Initially formed in September 2004 by Jerome Boucher(guitar) and Kevin
Pettinella(vocal) from the ashes of their previous band Psychotic Vision,
Approached by a God became official when Maxime Huard(guitar) was asked
to join the band, a few months later. Armed with drummer Mario Forgues
and bass player Nicolas Chabot, they managed to pull off a first show in
Quйbec City, in April 2005.

Following this first acclaim, the band decided to tour a reasonable part
of the province of Quйbec during the rest of the year, encountering a few
line-up problems. Drummer Mario Forgues was replaced by Simon Frost, who
was then dismissed a year later. And when the band thought it could not
go worst, bass player Nicolas Chabot decided to leave the band.

Approached by a God was left to Jйrфme and Maxime, Kevin Pettinella was
nowhere near to be found. The two remaining members focused their energy
into recording a demo, hoping that it would inspire anyone to join the
band. Reinforced by session drummer and co-producer Franзois Fortin of
Utlagr, Approached by a God entered the studio from September to October
2006, in order to insure the future of the band. A week later, Kevin is
back with the band recording vocal tracks. All done, they finally joined
up with drummer Louis Thivierge and long time friend bass player Mathieu
Robichaud, who once was a part of Approached by a God in it's early
incarnation.

In May 2007, Jerome and the band parted ways for personal reasons.
Followed an extensive search for a new guitar player. The logical choice
was Benoit Fecteau, a solid guitar player, formerly of The First Fire.
Following many shows in 2007 and 2008, Maxime Huard was dismissed in
early 2008.

Approached by a God made it to the second round of the 2nd Skin Rock
Contest 2008 at the Imperial. One of our songs was included on the first
2nd Skin Rock Contest compilation.

Approached by a God's first full length album, Diseased and Burned to
Rest, was an entire DIY achievement. In fact, it was entirely recorded by
the band's guitar player, Benoit Fecteau. The whole layout of the album
was also done by Benoit.
