God Dethroned

God Dethroned announce new drummer

Dutch extreme metallers God Dethroned have announced a change on drummer's seat:

"A little while ago our long time drummer Ariën van Weesenbeek announced he would join the ranks of Dutch gothic metal rockers Epica, leaving us no other choice than to let him go. We do understand his career move and we wish him all the best of luck for the future, and we'd like to thank him for all the years of pure blasphemy. We will play a farewell show with Ariën on March 28th at the Mezz club in Breda, Holland.
At the same time we are happy to announce the return of Roel Sanders, our drummer on 'The Grand Grimoire' and 'Bloody Blasphemy' albums!!! Roel left God Dethroned in the summer of 2000, but this time he's back to stay with us till the end. Some of you may also know him as the drummer for Inhume (and don't worry, he will continue with that band too).
Soon we will start the writing process of a new album with the working title: 'Passiondale... An Epic Tale about World War I'. Musically the new album will be a mix between 'Bloody Blasphemy' and 'Lair of the White Worm', so better buckle up fellas!!!"
