GOD DETHRONED Announces New Guitarist
June 28, 2010Dutch melodic death metallers GOD DETHRONED have issued the following update:
"We've been working hard on a new album lately and just finished songwriting. Our second album with a World War One theme. Mike [Michiel van der Plicht] and Henri [Sattler; vocals, guitar] will start laying down drum and guitar tracks at Soundlodge Studios (Germany) with producer Jörg Uken. It's our third time recording there as we have been very pleased with the results of the previous albums.
"We would like to thank Ian Jekelis (ABIGAIL WILLIAMS) for playing guitar with us on the Killfest tour in the U.S. where we supported OVERKILL on many great and successful shows. We also would like to welcome Danny Tunker as our new lead guitarist. Danny already played with us on a few shows and festivals and we decided to give him the chance to show his skills on our new album."
