When I first listened to 'The Grand Grimoire' which was the second album by God Dethroned from the Netherlands, I was excited and surprised at the same time. 18 months later, they released their third CD called 'Bloody Blasphemy' and they are able to reach the same high level as on their previous release. Of course God Dethroned didn't do revolutionary changes, but this wasn't necessary because you won't find many bands which are able to play a mixture of Black, Thrash and Death Metal with such quality and extreme speed. For the recordings they haven't changed neither the studio nore the stuff and the result has been another killer album with great production. The songs don't only contain speed, but sometimes also harmonic guitar riffs and calming piano parts as it has been done on 'The Execution Protocol'. 'Soul Capture 1542' is a surprisingly quiet some with some Gothic elements and it's about the legend of the Flying Dutchman. Another great point of their music are the brutal and sick vocals by mainman Henri Sattler. The CD booklet has again become a real artwork. The musicians look on their pics like recently deceased people and have added sick comments to the photos: they claim themselves responsible for the abduction of Archangel Gabriel or for the future murder of Pope JP II. As the musicians are antichrists, you know what you can expect from the lyrics. The most extreme example is the title track where some demons steal Jesus from the cross to eat him. Bon appetit!
Again God Dethroned have published an album with a too short duration, but more important is the fact that the CD contains nine hard songs who can hit like a bomb.
