Dutch blackened death metal band God Dethroned have filmed a music video for the track ‘Book Of Lies’, which can be viewed below.
Frontman Henri Sattler stated: “Illuminati is out today and we can’t wait for everyone to check out the album! We are also launching a third video today for ‘Book Of Lies’, which connects the storyline of the two previous singles / videos and hopefully is a track that will spark your interest in listening to the full album!
“Also, we are soon to start a heavy touring campaign: First it’s three special album release shows this weekend, then next week we start a first European tour with Obscura, and afterwards it’s festival time, but also another European tour of which we will reveal details soon. We look forward to seeing you at one of the upcoming shows this year!”
God Dethroned issued 11th full-length studio album Illuminati on February 7th, 2020 through Metal Blade Records.
The outing can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.
Sattler commented: “Freemasons, occultists and conspiracy theory enthusiasts pay attention! God Dethroned is back to smack you in the face with our new album called Illuminati. After finishing the World War One trilogy, it was about time to go back to dark side with songs about religion, freemasonry and the occult. Song titles like ‘Spirit Of Beelzebub’, ‘Broken Halo’, ‘Book Of Lies’ and ‘Satan Spawn’ leave very little to the imagination as to what to expect from us from a lyrical point of view.
“But those of you who expected us to go back into a raging frenzy of endless blastbeats and buzzsaw blade guitar sounds better beware. Illuminati is our most varied album to date with a heavy, yet in-your-face type of production. We managed to make our sound bigger and more orchestral than ever before with the use of both atmospheric keyboard parts and many additional vocal parts such as choirs and grunt-on-tone type of vocals. There is a lot to be discovered in the songs of this album because of the many details hidden in the music that will only reveal itself after many listens, and at the same time the tunes on Illuminati are catchier than ever before.
“Lovers of Rhandy Roads-meets-Marty Friedman type of melodic guitar solos should definitely give Dave Meester’s spectacular leads a listen. Dave was welcomed to the band’s line-up during the European tour with Belphegor and Suffocation and stayed within our ranks ever since. Former guitar player Mike Ferguson however contributed greatly to Illuminati by writing several stunning songs and riffs as well as recording half of all the rhythm tracks on the album. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”
