MUNDO METAL (GOD DETHRONED)

God Dethroned was formed in 1991 by singer and 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 Barends joined on bass. Their first album, The Christhunt, was released on the German label Shark. Meanwhile, Barends left (to rejoin Alter) 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, 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.

MUNDO METAL (ARCH ENEMY)

Arch Enemy é uma banda sueca de death metal com influências de thrash metal, formada em 1995. Tem uma distinção das outras bandas do gênero, por ter uma mulher como vocalista, o que é muito raro nas bandas de death metal, já que o vocal é gutural.

O Arch Enemy é uma das principais bandas deste subgênero do heavy metal que se convencionou chamar de 'death metal melódico', em virtude principalmente de elementos melódicos provenientes do heavy metal tradicional, do power metal, do heavy rock e até mesmo do hard rock dos anos 70 e 80. Neste sentido, uma das características principais do Arch Enemy são os riffs de guitarra compostos por Michael Amott, que são ao mesmo tempo pesados e melódicos.O primeiro álbum da banda, intitulado "Black Earth", foi lançado pela já falida Wrong Again Records em 1996. O álbum obteve um certo sucesso no Japão, tendo uma certa divulgação do primeiro single com o primeiro videoclip da banda, "Bury Me an Angel", apresentado na MTV, como também um certo sucesso na Suécia. A essa altura, o Arch Enemy era mais um “projeto solo” do que uma banda: Michael escrevia todas as músicas, e também tocava baixo nas gravações, ao contrário do que era divulgado no álbum, que tinha o vocalista Johan Liiva como o baixista. Michael Amott revelou, mais tarde, que ele teria divulgado a formação com Johan Liiva no baixo para deixar o Arch Enemy com uma aparência de uma “verdadeira banda”. Muitos consideram esse álbum o mais agressivo da banda, um traço que foi sofisticado com o passar do tempo, mas nunca abandonado.
