Legendary German thrash act Sodom announce new album, new song out now

Sodom are German thrash legends and are continuing their long legacy in the genre with todays announcement of a new album ‘The Arsonist’, out June 7th. The first single ‘Trigger Discipline’ is also out now to stream and brings the heavy fast thrash song you’d expect.

To enable the most natural production possible, the drum parts on their latest album The Arsonist were recorded using a 24-track analog tape machine.

No studio tricks, no digital overdubs, or, to quote frontman Tom Angelripper:“No plastic! The difference in sound compared to today’s standard drum productions is amazing and has had a positive effect on all the instruments. Naturally, time and effort as well as costs were also higher, but we’re happy to fork out for a superior result.”

Tom Angelripper continues: 
“Frank contributed those typical SODOM riffs and hooks again, whereas York favors more epic songwriting. As a perfect complement to both of them, Toni, who is also an excellent guitarist, contributed a number of songs and helped to make the album even more versatile.”
