    Went to see Cannibal Corpse and Hate Eternal in Buffalo back in 2000. Went to Burger King before the show and these metal heads with accents were there enjoying some whoppers. Got to the show for the opening band and low and behold it’s God Dethroned, the Burger King guys.

    Only own The Toxic Touch and I like it a lot. Have heard the war trilogy and dig those also. Will check this out.

      Necrotic Nick- The Toxic Touch is a pretty solid melodeath album. Definitely a lot of At the Gates-ish material on that one. This is a bit heavier for the most part but it's still got it's melodeath-ish parts.

    well to each their own i guess. God Dethroned is one of my best band ever, i discovered them with bloody blasphemy, i know their golden age is behind like every other band but they still put out awesome music, did not listen to the new album but i know i am gonna love it cause i love every album.

      Necrotic Nick- I've enjoyed pretty much all their albums but to me these last 2 have been a bit of a drop off. They have their moments but they just feel phoned in. If you loved the last one then there's a good chance you'll dig this one.

      Necrotic Nick- I honestly have a lot of favorites from this band. The Christhunt, In the Sign on the Iron Cross, Passiondale are all up there too but their more recent output has been kinda lacking in my opinion.

    God Dethroned are one of those bands I've heard about but never delved that deep into them. In fact, the only album of theirs that I own is Bloody Blasphemy. It was a blisteringly awesome album IMO.
    Solid, honest review on God Dethroned's The Judas Paradox.

    • @thrallsofmetal
      @thrallsofmetal  2 місяці тому +1

      Necrotic Nick- Bloody Blasphemy is a banger of an album and honestly most of their discography is badass but here lately, or at least on these last 2, the energy just seems to have waned. This still has it's moments but just not enough of them.

    I believe that,they chose the wrong time to release the album.Among all these chunk of excellent albums being brought out by juggernaut bands the change this album to falling into the abyss to be forsaken by public in general or not receiving the attention that the band could await for.Elsewhere,it will be overshadowed by other albums released.

    • @thrallsofmetal
      @thrallsofmetal  2 місяці тому +1

      Necrotic Nick- Possibly. I did think it was odd that they chose to release this the same day as the new Wolfheart which is on the same label. That's more common in larger labels but Reign Phoenix doesn't have a huge roster at this point. Granted this week was a bit slow as in it didn't have too much competition but still I think I agree here.

      Necrotic Nick- It was just OK for me. I feel like the first half was a bit of chore to get through at times and because it really didn't find it's footing until the second half really hurt this album for me.

  • @Skycladatdusk78
    @Skycladatdusk78 2 місяці тому +1

    Always loved this band, especially the WWI trilogy of albums. New album is pretty good after a couple spins, always a reliable melodic death metal band. And I agree the second half is the best.

    • @thrallsofmetal
      @thrallsofmetal  2 місяці тому

      Necrotic Nick- I've been a fan for awhile too and that WWI trilogy is pretty cool though I'd say Passiondale and Under the Sign of the Iron Cross are the stronger parts of that trilogy. These last 2 have been really lacking in energy though. They both still have their bright spots but they're really inconsistent.

    I don't mind the album but these last 3 albums haven't been that memorable. I unfortunately feel that way with alot of albums by many bands these last several years. The Grand Grimoire is my favorite album. That was the newest album when i first heard them. The title track is my favorite song of theirs along with Coliseum Serenades.

  • @mindful2864

    God Dethroned is one of the best at melodic blackened death metal. They take lots of influence from Carcass, Dissection, and Bolt Thrower. Albums such as the Christhunt, the Grand Grimoire, Ravenous, In the Lair of the White Worm, and the Toxic Touch are great albums. This new album is decent. The first half is okay but kind of cheesy but the second half is a stronger. I do think it’s better than their last album Illuminati but it’s not as good as the World Ablaze. It’s a decent yet flawed album.

    • @thrallsofmetal
      @thrallsofmetal  2 місяці тому

      Necrotic Nick- They've had an incredible run of album in the past for sure but I feel like these last 2 have just been lacking the fire they had on earlier albums. The second half does feature some solid tracks but kicking off with a clunky first half really hurt this one for me.

    • @thrallsofmetal
      @thrallsofmetal  Місяць тому +1

      Necrotic Nick- I have to disagree. I think it's OK but despite being kinda lackluster I still think Illuminati was a bit more cohesive. I really didn't like the pacing of the album too. The front half kinda got off to lackluster start. Either way, I'm glad you dug it though. We all hear music differently.
