Release comments
Passiondale will also be released on vinyl, limited
to 666 copies.
The album will be issued on April 24 in Germany,
Austria, Switzerland and Italy and April 27 in the rest
of Europe via Metal Blade Records.
The CD was recorded at Soundlodge studios in Germany
with producer Jrg Uken.
GOD DETHRONED frontman Henri Sattler explains the
lyrical concept of Passiondale: It says Passendale
on the street sign. The little village with its huge
Tyne Cot cemetery and memorial centre. I passed it many
times on the way to Isaac (Delahaye, our former guitar
player) for another of our notorious drinking sessions
in Ypres not far from the French border. I got really
impressed by how this town breathes World War I. The
numerous cemeteries, the Menin Gate with its daily last
post ceremony since 1929 with the exception of just one
day during a bombardment in World War II, the buildings
that have been rebuilt in their original state and
definitely all the English, Irish and Scottish people
that visit Ypres every weekend, probably because one of
their relatives died there during the war. During the
night at the bars and pubs, they tended to get really
drunk and sang louder than the barman could crank up
the stereo set! Its during these times that I got
inspired by the Great War and decided to write a
concept album about it. Ypres and Passendale were the
center of war activities during the war with around
900,000 casualties compared to nine million worldwide.
I realized how harsh it must have been there during
those four years. Passchendaele was the official name
of the little village during the war, but since the
English speaking armies couldnt pronounce that, they
nicknamed it to: Passiondale
Enjoy!
