Sodom - Sodom (2006) (Japanese KICP 1126)

Posted By: apocalipsys2014

This album brings back the old school styled Sodom we always wish to hear . “M-16” was also a good thrash album , but this album surpasses “M-16” in many ways. It’s just a better version of “M-16” . Bernemann’s guitar work here is his best performance compared to any other Sodom album he’s worked on , followed by In war and pieces. This album is surely Bernemann’s masterpiece. Sodom has been providing us with good old school thrash every since the first full length, but since the last decade they’ve been influenced with punk and tried to combine it with thrash , which was surely disappointing. But even during their experiments with punk , they would come up with nice thrash tracks once in a while, so basically the albums before “Sodom” lacked consistency. And here they display pure old school thrash without any second thought or any other influence.

Tom’s vocals has always been the most attractive thing about sodom’s music and it goes the same with this album too. Song writing is pretty usual Sodom styled i.e showing anger on the political system and society. Bobby Schottkowski on drums does a pretty decent job providing with good fills. Songs like “ lords of depravity” , “nothing to regret” , “bibles and guns” are pretty brutal and come straight at you with smashing velocity . We all know the beauty of sodom’s music lies in the way they combine death and black metal topped with furious screams of Tom. Tom vocals are deep , raw and most aggressive in the whole thrash metal scene. Apart from having pure old school thrash influences Sodom also incorporates beautiful melodic leads , like “ Lay down the law” , ‘the enemy inside” the riffs present in both these songs are very creative.

The most attractive thing about this album is the fact that the songs are never run at the a continuous pace, they have wonderful breakdown moments during which you can experience the genius guitar work from Bernemann and sheer raw energy of Tom’s vocals. This is the most innovative Sodom album , there are no parts during which you can say that you’ve heard this riff or it sounds similar to some band or even to sodom’s own past material. This is new, creative and a rare thrash metal masterpiece that don’t often come.
