God Dethroned

God Dethroned was formed in 1991 by singer and guitarist Henri Sattler, with Hans Leegstra (guitar) and Ard de Weerd. Sattler and Leegstra are former members of the band Dysentery; Leegstra, shortly after the band's formation, leaves the music scene along with Sattler. They record a demo, Christ Hunt, in 1991, then are joined by Marco Arends on bass. Their first album, The Christhunt, is released on the German record label Shark. In the meantime, Arends leaves the band (to join Altar) and is replaced by Marcel Beukeveld. The Christhunt achieves no success; the label refuses to feature their idea of a dissected rat on the cover and does no promotion. Dethroned becomes inactive the following year, partly because of an anti-Christian disagreement between Sattler and the other band members; Sattler forms a new band, Ministry of Terror.
