Dethroned does it again

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Keeping the same formula as The Grand Grimoire, God Dethroned unleashes another attack of melodic, anit-christian death/black metal. The keyboards remain, though not as prevailing as in TGG. The 8-minute epic is here in the form of "Soul Capture 1562" as well as ferocious blast-beat songs like "Execution Protocol" and "Boiling Blood." Vocals still drudged from the bowels of hell. This CD is catchy, yet unrestrained, making one want to throw inanimate objects in pure, adrenaline induced fury. God Dethroned is a force not to be taken lightly. This is a must-have for true death metal fans!"

One of the best Black Metal albums EVER!!!

"Before I bought this, I had no idea what God Dethroned sounded like, but I thought I'd give this one a try. And Holy Crap, I wasn't disappointed! This album is heavy, brutal and interestingly, very catchy. Make no mistake, this is real black metal. This takes what Venom & Celtic Frost started in the early 80's and builds on it, adding elements that few other bands would ever think of. The lyrics are extremely well written, sounding like something taken right out of an H.P. Lovecraft story. Each song sounds different than the one before it. Most other black metal bands all sound the same, with each & every song sounding like a carbon copy of each other. Best songs on here are: "Nocturnal", which has some very creepy lyrics; "The Execution Protocol"; the epic "Soul Capture 1562"; my favorite track, "Firebreath", which is absoutely brutal; and of course the title track, which seems to be about some demonic being tearing Jesus off the cross and EATING HIM! Oh yeah, this is definitely some anti-Christian stuff. And it RULES!! Rarely have I been this impressed with a black metal album. One last thing: check out the band photos on the inside. They have been altered to make them look like old Satanic pictures. Other bands could take lessons from these guys on what black metal is supposed to sound like!"

Excellent

"this album is as brutal as it is extremely sinister. "nocturnal" is one of the more relentlessly fast and evil songs i've heard. the production and mixing makes this a very good album... flawless. this is by no means a "ground breaking" black metal album, but you are also wasting your time by not picking it up."
