GOD DETHRONED was formed by mainman Henri Sattler 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.
Many succesful 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 smooth.
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.
