God Dethroned is yet another great melo-death band I was just introduced to. Even though the genre is getting quite filled with exceptional talent there is always room for good metal.
Using a furious assault of melodic hooks, punishing double kickers and fantastic solos... GD is easily worth mention. Musicianship is not only great but the tracks are very well composed especially at the fast pace of the album. During the nine-course meal there is barely a chance to breathe... combining equal helpings of brutality and melody...
Though nothing entirely new or groundbreaking, The Lair of the White Worm is a vicious album that fans of aggressive metal can enjoy if you like Arsis, Dark Tranquillity, or Darkane's latest albums you will likely enjoy this as well.
Favorite Songs: Arch Enemy Spain, Nihilist, and The Lair of the White Worm

"I am so surprised that this is not a more well known band! They deserve to be much much MUCH bigger than they are now! Very fast and technical death metal with an equal amount of melody thrown in. The solos are all over this album and are always redically new and different and original. The vocals and rhythm guitar work are all done to perfection as well. All the tracks are great, but love Rusty Nails. It reminds me of a Johan Liiva-era Arch Enemy track for some reason. Perfect for fans of bands like Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquility, Divine Empire, Behemoth etc. Highly recommended to all metalheads though!"

"henri sattler refreshed himself, got new members, and came out with this new masterpiece. one standout track in particular is "sigma enigma" which was on the metal channel. i wanted to turn off the tv, not in disgust, but to surprise myself for it later. the rest of the album is good, too. i miss the old god dethroned(beef, jens, and roel)but henri has to change his formula if he wants to keep kicking a$$. long live god dethroned. long live metal blade. death to false and trendy metal!"
