Henri Sattler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henri Sattler (born 1971) is the founder and vocalist/guitarist of God Dethroned. He uses the alias The Serpent King.

Due to problems with the other band members and the record company, Henri decided to split the band. He then formed Ministry of Terror, a thrash metal band, and released the Fall Of Life album with them in 1994. After a European tour Henri left the band and re-formed God Dethroned. With new band members and better songs in his back, Henri and the new God Dethroned recorded The Grand Grimoire and inked a deal with Metal Blade. Many successful tours followed in Europe, the United States and Japan with death metal and black metal acts including Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Immortal, and Marduk.

Henri is well known for his very hoarse, raspy, but highly audible voice and slithery vocal patterns as well as highly tight rhythms and decent leads on guitar. His primary guitar is a custom made BC Rich Mockingbird that is tan with Seymour Duncan pickups and a Floyd Rose tremolo. In his early days, he played a BC Rich Warlock he modified himself. That aside, Sattler is also a huge fan of Marvel Superheroes, particularly The Punisher, Daredevil, and Spiderman.
