Music Style Black Metal/Death Metal

Artist History GOD DETHRONED mainman, guitar player and singer Henri Sattler is one of the most dedicated Metalheads in Holland. Always been fascinated by the dark side of life and Christian matters in general, he started in 1991 GOD DETHRONED for the first time with some friends. Soon after their first demo they released the debut album “The Christhunt” in 1997 on a small label not worth mentioning. The first step into the business was done, but instead of going on, Henri decided due to problems with the other band members and the amateurish record company to split the band. He then formed MINISTRY OF TERROR, a Thrash Metal band with a lot of potential, released the album “Fall Of Life” in 1994 and played an extensive European Tour with IMPALED NAZARENE. During this tour many people asked Henri about GOD DETHRONED, and after coming back home he already made his decision to leave M.O.T. and reform GOD DETHRONED. He found Jens, Beef, and Roel, three excellent musicians that followed his visions and understood what aggressive Metal was all about. Together they wrote a few songs, recorded them, and sent them to a few record companies. Metal Blade Records were immediately interested and signed the band in a second. The highly acclaimed second album “The Grand Grimoire” was released in October 1997 and got major impact in European Magazines. GOD DETHRONED received great reviews and big articles on this album all over Europe. The musical potential and technical skills proved on this album are unbelievable, the diversity of blast beats, heavy riffs, and atmospheric parts is phenomenal, nevertheless all the songs are very catchy and easy to get into. Straight after the release of this masterpiece, the Dutchman played a European tour supporting SIX FEET UNDER and leaving the crowds without a breath. Another tour followed in April 1998 when GOD DETHRONED played the famous No Mercy Festivals with CANNIBAL CORPSE, IMMORTAL, MARDUK, OBITUARY, and ANGEL CORPSE all over Europe. The album was also released in the United States and got, suprisingly enough, extensive airplay on the radio stations and sold pretty well. In the end of 1998, GOD DETHRONED entered the recording studio to start on their third album. “Bloody Blasphemy” is another killer album with all the trademarks of it’s predecessor. GOD DETHRONED have found their own style which is a mixture of Death, Thrash, and Black Metal, with a good dose of the aggression of SLAYER once have spread on “Reign In Blood”. Don’t believe it? Listen to the album three times in a row and tell me something different. And Henri Sattler? He enjoys the growing interest in GODDETHRONED knowing very well, that there will be many more battles to fight in the future…Henri Sattler talking about some of the lyrics in his own words.Serpent King: Song about an invisible serpent traveling around and stealing souls everywhere by shooting people from real dose.Nocturnal: This is about a guy who thinks he hears sounds of witches at night.
