The World's Ablaze

Description

God Dethronedwas formed by main-man Henri Sattler (guitars/vocals) in 1990. After one demo they released their debut album The Christhunt in 1992 on a small German label. Due to problems with the other band members and the record company, Henri decided to end the band. He then formed Ministry Of Terror, a Thrash Metal band, and released the Fall Of Life album with them in 1994. After a European tour, Henri left the band and re-formed God Dethroned. Armed with new band members and better songs, Henri and the new God Dethroned recorded The Grand Grimoireand inked a deal with Metal Blade Records. Many successful tours followed in Europe, the USA and Japan with great Death and Black Metal acts like Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Immortal, and Marduk, just to name a few. The band also played most of the renowned festivals: Dynamo Open Air, Wacken, Graspop and Summer Breeze. However, not everything went smoothly. Drummer Roel Sanders left the band after the USA tour promoting Bloody Blasphemy. Nile's Tony Laureano played on the Ravenousalbum, but couldn't stay in the band for obvious reasons. Janne Saarenp?? from The Crown played on that tour, until finally new drummer Ari?n van Weesenbeek joined the group, whose first recording experience with the band was Into the Lungs of Hell.
