Sodom

Sodom is a trailblazing thrash metal band hailing from Gelsenkirchen, Germany, that formed in 1981. The band was established by vocalist and bassist Thomas "Angelripper" Such, guitarist Frank "Blackfire" Gosdzik, and drummer Christian "Witchhunter" Dudek, although the lineup has undergone numerous changes over the years, with Angelripper being the only constant member. Sodom's sound is characterized by fierce, rapid-fire riffing, aggressive vocal delivery, and themes that often touch on war, social injustices, and controversial subjects. Their style and early work are credited as a significant influence on the development of thrash metal and extreme metal subgenres in Europe.

Throughout their prolific career, spanning over four decades, Sodom has released an impressive catalog of albums and maintained a reputation for relentlessly powerful live performances. The band has contributed notably to the Teutonic thrash metal scene alongside contemporaries like Kreator and Destruction. Their most recent works, such as "Genesis XIX" and the comprehensive compilation "40 Years at War - The Greatest Hell of Sodom," showcase the band's consistent ability to deliver unyielding, raw thrash metal. With a legacy firmly planted in the annals of metal history, Sodom continues to be revered by fans and peers alike, not only for their pioneering early releases but also for their dedication to maintaining the brutal essence of the genre they helped define.
