The word, the sound, the zer. It was the exciting time after the initial shock of Venom | Exciter | Slayer | Anvil | Metallica, 27 years ago… In The Sign Of Evil was really pushing it to a limit, I couldn’t believe my ears, it was even more evil sounding than Kreator, Bathory, Discharge and Destruction combined. That was the fastest and heaviest and scariest thing I had ever heard, zer yeah!!! Long story short, Sodom have ruled the thrash metal world for 3 decades and they remain at the very top of the EZTT. Favorite albums ? Very difficult to decide, but Get What You Deserve is a particular darling of mine with its Pungent Stench vibe – lyrically, musically and graphically, and it sports a Venom cover. The last two studio albums sound A LOT like Slayer and are somehow less virulent than the rest, but still very excellent. The 2007 “Final Sign” rerecorded version of the 1984 material is a major failure if you ask me and is the only negative spot in this killer discography. Forget it and submit to the rest of the merciless attack of the legend of SODOM!!!!!! CD rip except Expurse Of Sodomy, Final Sign Of Evil Tour (useless compilation stolen on another blog) and : In The Sign Of Sodom – Sodomaniac Tribute : |
