God Dethroned announce new album 'The Judas Paradox', share new single "Rat Kingdom"

Four years after the release of their highly acclaimed album Illuminati, Dutch black/death metal icons God Dethroned descend from the shoals of silence with their brand new offering, The Judas Paradox, due out on September 6, 2024, through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).

The group has also delivered a fierce statement about the Vatican's darkest secrets with their new single, "Rat Kingdom." The new single is joined by a Jan Bos-directed music video, both available below.

Guitar/Vocalist Henri Sattler shared the following:

This song is about the Vatican and the many secrets that are being kept there, away from the eyes of the world. And he who speaks will disappear in the shadows down below. Musically, it's a song that starts with a classic pile of melody lines, making it both hymnic and bombastic, followed by a blast of fury with a black metal vibe and the Serpent King's very own style of guitar solo—one which stands out from the masses inspired by the late Jeff Hanneman.
