The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests.

'''God Dethroned''' is a Dutch [[extreme metal]] band from [[Beilen]], originally formed in 1990.

==Biography==
God Dethroned was formed in 1990 by [[vocalist|singer]] and [[guitar|guitar player]] Henri Sattler, with Hans Leegstra (guitar) and Ard de Weerd. Sattler and Leegstra had previously been in Dysentery; Leegstra, quickly after the band formed, left the music scene altogether. They recorded a demo, ''Christ Hunt'', in 1991, after which Marco Arends joined on [[bass guitar|bass]]. Their first album, ''The Christhunt'', was released on the [[Germany|German]] label Shark. Meanwhile, Arends left (to rejoin Altar) and was replaced by Marcel Beukeveld. ''The Christhunt'' did poorly; the label had refused to feature a dissected rat on the cover and did not promote the record at all. Dethroned went on hiatus the following year, in part because Sattler's anti-Christian sympathy was not shared by all, and Sattler formed a new group called Ministry of Terror. In 1996, after that band's 1994 album ''Fall of Life'' and a supporting European tour (with [[Impaled Nazarene]]), Sattler re-formed God Dethroned with guitarist Jens van der Valk (who did not share Sattler's anti-Christian sympathies either), bassist Beef, and [[drummer]] Roel Sanders. With this lineup a deal was signed with [[Metal Blade]], and they issued ''The Grand Grimoire'' in Europe in 1997; the album was released in the U.S. the following year, along with a re-issue of ''The Christhunt'', which featured the original cover art, with the dissected rat.

The Grand Grimorie did much better than The Christhunt did, and the band soon entered into a sort of high point. The lineup of Sattler, Van Der Valk, Beef and Sanders would record the album ''Bloody Blasphemy'', which many fans of the band consider to be their best work to date. Successful tours and shows with bands like [[Marduk (band)|Marduk]], [[Immortal (band)|Immortal]], and [[Deicide (band)|Deicide]] would later follow. After ''Bloody Blasphemy'', Sanders soon left the band and was replaced by Puerto Rican drummer [[Tony Laureano]].  Laureano played with the band up till 2003, when he received an offer to join the American death metal band [[Nile (band)|Nile]]. He would record only one album with the band: 2001's ''Ravenous''.  

A new drummer was found, Ariën Van Weesenbeek, and the band entered the studio at the end of 2002 to record ''Into the Lungs of Hell''.  More problems began to follow, as Beef and Jens were tired with the direction of the band and wanted to push for a more heavy and extreme sound with more anti-Christian lyrics (themes that had begun to start to fade to an extent on ''Ravenous''), whereas Sattler wanted to keep the band at a more melodic and darker sound with lyrics focused more on darkness, horror, nihilism, and other themes. After the recording and a short amount of touring for ''Into the Lungs of Hell'', both the bassist and guitarist left the band, and Henri Sattler had to go look out for members once again. Bassist Henk Zinger was quickly brought into the fold, and Ariën van Weesenbeek recommended Belgian guitarist Isaac Delahaye to the band.  This lineup would finish up the remaining tour dates and would go back into the studio to record another album, 2005's ''[[The Lair of the White Worm]]''.

After touring for a little while, the band then went back into the studio with legendary producer [[Rick Rubin]], and released ''[[The Toxic Touch]]'' in 2006 through [[American Recordings (US)|American]].

In January 2008, two personnel changes were made. Since Ariën van Weesenbeek had joined [[Netherlands|Dutch]] [[symphonic metal]] band [[Epica (band)|Epica]] full-time in December 2007, he was replaced with former drummer Roel Sanders. After a writing period, ''Passiondale'' was recorded and released in early 2009. The album's concept is based on [[The Battle of Passchendaele]] during [[World War I]]. Once the album was completed, auditions were held and Susan Gerl was selected as the new guitar player. Shortly after the release Roel Sanders was asked to leave the band and Michiel Van Der Plicht was brought in.

In 2010, Henri Sattler stated in a Metal Blade Press release:<blockquote>"We are halfway through the writing process for a new album, which we will record starting end of May. First, we'll play on the Killfest tour in the U.S. supporting Overkill together with label mates Woe of Tyrants and many other great bands.

Abigail Williams' axeman Ian Jekelis will take over touring duties for Susan, with whom we parted ways last January. We will announce the name of our new shredder right before we play our first European festival in May"</blockquote>

Shortly after, guitarist Danny Tunker (Prostitute Disfigurement, Detonation) was announced as the new lead guitarist.

The New God Dethroned album ''Under The Sign Of The Iron Cross'' was released through Metal Blade on 22 November 2010 and met rave reviews. It marked the first time God Dethroned became 'Album Of The Month' in the Netherlands' Aardschok magazine.

Sattler announced that 2011 will be the last year of the band and their final show will be in December, but they performed at [[70000 Tons of Metal]] festival in January 2012, after which they officially disbanded.

Sattler announced that the band will reunite in 2015, performing at the 70,000 Tons of Metal Festival in January.  While they will only be a "small selection of shows," according to Sattler, the band does have more shows planned for 2015. But later on, God Dethroned played a lot of shows and in 2017 they even recorded a new album ''The World Ablaze''.

''The World Ablaze'' is the third album of the band's World War I trilogy. The album got high ranks in metal charts. With lead guitarist Mike Ferguson and bass guitarist Jeroen Pomper, God Dethroned's newest album, ''Illuminati'' was released on 7 February 2020.

==Musical style==
God Dethroned originally formed as a [[death metal]] band. When they reformed in 1996, they switched to [[blackened death metal]] and stayed that way until the release of ''Into the Lungs of Hell'', when they shifted to [[melodic death metal]]. They are, however, "an important part of the Dutch black metal scene", according to ''The Encyclopedia of Dutch Black Metal''.  Their latest albums saw a return to their original blackened death metal sound.
