Dutch blackened death metal band God Dethroned decides to call it quits later this year, after being around for 20 years. Singer/guitarist Henri Sattler has the following to say about the band breaking up:

“2011 is God Dethroned’s final year in existance. We could have spent another year in a tourbus because the amount of offers was endless, but I just don’t feel like touring anymore. People told me to take a break for a year or maybe two, but as I’m an ‘all, or nothingat all’ type of person, I decided to call it quits. Not immediately, but in December of this year we will definitely play our last show. That’s gonna be at the Eindhoven Metal Meeting in Holland.

“I’m very proud of what we achieved with the band, but the time has come for new challenges. I would like to thank all of our fans for their support for all these years.”
