GOD DETHRONED Frontman Issues New Album Update

October 23, 2008

Guitarist/vocalist Henri Sattler of the Dutch melodic death metal band GOD DETHRONED has issued the following update:

"Last week we started tracking drum tracks for our new album, 'Passiondale'. With Roel [Sanders] back on the drum throne, all speed limits have been broken again. We took a lot of time in order to get the best results 'cause we want the album to be as tight as possible.

"Producer Jörg Uken from the Soundlodge studios [in Germany] is a drummer himself so we actually managed to get some really spectacular drumming on tape. We also wrote a new song in the studio called 'No Survivors', bringing the total of songs to nine. Yesterday we made some heavy crushing guitar sounds and this week we'll track the guitars."

"Passiondale" will be a concept album about World War I. Songtitles set to appear on the CD are as follows:

01. Under A Darkening Sky
02. Behind Enemy Lines
03. Drowning in Mud
04. No-Man's Land
05. Passiondale
06. Poison Fog
07. Fallen Empires
08. Artifacts of the Great War
09. No Survivors

"Passiondale" is to be expected for release in April/May 2009 via Metal Blade Records.

GOD DETHRONED's last album, "The Toxic Touch", was released in the U.S. in November 2006 via Metal Blade Records. The CD was recorded at Soundlodge Studios in Germany with producer Joerg Uken. Mastering was handled at Wisseloord Studios in Holland.
