| GOD DETHRONED was formed by main man Henri Sattler in 1990. After one demo they released their debut album ‘The Christhunt’ in 1992 on a tiny German label. With new band members and better songs GOD DETHRONED recorded The Grand Grimoire and inked a deal with Metal Blade. Many successful tours followed in Europe, the U.S. and Japan with great Death and Black Metal acts like Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Immortal and Marduk, just to name a few.
In contradiction to the previous albums PASSIONDALE is a lot more extreme and furious because of the return of Roel Sanders on drums. Roel played on ‘Grand Grimoire’ and ‘Bloody Blasphemy’ as well. Albums that were dominated by blast beats, brutal riffing but also many rhythmic parts. It seemed the most logical thing to do, to go back to our early sound. The grimness of war is reflected in the songs and the atmosphere creates a feeling of listening to the soundtrack of a war movie.
The album was recorded as a three piece. The lyrics deal with World War I without taking a particular point of view or speaking about a specific country since GOD DETHRONED’s band members don’t want to deal with politics
For fans of: Amon Amarth, At The Gates, Hypocrisy, Entombed and Morbid Angel. |
