Like a rat gnawing at your skin while you sleep, God Dethroned's latest not only drops you right into the trenches of one of the bloodiest World War I battlegrounds, it does so with a personal touch that leaves even your own lungs full of mustard gas. Loaded with more aggression than the band has offered in several albums, Passiondale honors the slain with a menacing conviction layered with a crossfire of chaotic and stalwart melodies.

At the time, World War I was the war to end all wars, but instead it became the gateway into modern warfare. Passiondale gives us a heavy dose of aggression, emotional depth, and authoritative visions of the suffering that reflects the stalemate that took nearly 1 million lives during that war. After repeated listens, you'll find yourself one step closer to drowning in mud, and with a lungful of mustard gas as your last breath. And for all you North Americans - just in time to check them out live in April.

One of the most talked about releases of 2009 on other sites, but nothing here...
I'm not much for words so that job is not up to me.
A great band, a great CD, buy it!

Well, it's about time I did a few reviews for extreme bands on MS, and do think fans are more pleased with the band's more aggressive return on this album. I'm putting this in my reviews queue

Amazing album! simple played death-thrash metal with melodies, amazing songs and great production! Drowning In Mud, Poison Fod, No Mans Land and Under a Darkening Sky are the best songs imo.

A lot of the riffs sounded repetitive and they were average at best, pretty forgettable imo
