God Dethroned
"Into the Lungs of Hell is our most socially critic album to date. I guess everybody nowadays has been confronted with all the terrorist attacks everywhere around the world in the name of some kind of ‘God.’"
Maybe some of us forgot about the crusades about 2000 years ago, but the backgrounds were more or less the same… Religion. God Dethroned's background has always been to show the "other" way of thinking when it comes to the bible and it's interpretation of it. This time we more or less reiterated "the facts".
Especially the songs "Soul Sweeper" and "Gods of Terror" deal with this. The other songs more or less speak for themselves." (Henri Sattler)
Main man Henri Sattler formed God Dethroned in 1991. After one demo they released their debut album The Christhunt on a tiny German label. Due to problems with the other band members and the record company, Henri decided to split the band. He then formed Ministry Of Terror, a thrash metal band, and released with them the Fall Of Life album in 1994. After a European tour Henri left the band and re-formed God Dethroned. With new band members and better songs in his back, Henri and the new God Dethroned recorded The Grand Grimoire and inked a deal with Metal Blade Records. 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 the mean time, most of the renowned festivals have been played: Dynamo Open Air, Wacken, Graspop and Summerbreeze. Not everything went smoothly. Drummer Roel Sanders left the band after the US tour promoting Bloody Blasphemy. Nile's Tony Laureano played the Ravenous album, but couldn't stay for obvious reasons. Janne from The Crown played on the tour and then finally the new drummer came in, Ariën van Weesenbeek, and did the amazing drum job on the new album.
