My 100 Favorite Metal Bands Pt. 46: God Dethroned

The Dutch band is expected to call it quits at the end of this year. What a wild ride it's been though. I first took notice of the band with their 2009 album, which was an absolutely epic look at a particularly bloody World War I battle. Their prior blackened death metal material sounded a bit more like Behemoth's recent work, but Passiondale and Under the Sign of the Iron Cross are more of a mix of the aforementioned blackened death and Swedish death. That style is probably more appealing to me personally.

FAVORITE ALBUM: PASSIONDALE
