Sodom Lords of depravity II DVD coming soon

Gelsenkirchen. Germany's most picturesque municipality - if you're into heavy industry, mining and soccer, that is. But next to its main exports (formerly coal, these days redundant miners), this quiet little town in the heart of the Ruhr area has another successful export that may be less well-known among the general public, but is nonetheless extremely popular on the international metal scene: SODOM.

SODOM the way they were and will continue to be: loud, raw, brutal, unadulterated and full on. From the very first to the last note, from opener to encore, all fucking night long.

SPV now releases Part II of an incredible Double DVD of the thrash heroes.

If you think the ANVIL movie was the best documentary of the last 2 years.....wait `til you see this monster!!!! More…

Sodom US Tour cancelled

Due to solid problems with our local tour promoter and getting our Visa in time, we are forced to cancel the upcoming shows. We already had our suitcases packed and were ready to go. We are awfully sorry to take these steps, but everybody acquainted with the entering provisions of the USA knows what we're talking about. We are deeply disappointed by this situation, but in the end there's the awareness, that not everything is done to our entire satisfaction. We are "only" the musicians, who would have loved to rock the USA again. We owe this to our fans, even more because we made ourselves scarce in the US since the foundation of this band, of course through no fault of our own. The one who botched this up will have to be confronted with the local organizers and club owners and account for his faults. We surely will catch up on these shows as soon as possible, which we especially owe to our fans. In the end, this set of problems redounds upon us, because we're in the front line and have to be answerable to our fans. I hope we didn't lose too many fans due to this mess, but all people who know us are aware of the fact, that we would do anything for our fans. The risk of being forbidden to enter the USA for 10 years or even getting arrested is too high. We hope for your understanding and keep you informed about the latest facts.

Sodom

Statement to the new DVD from the producer Ronald Matthes and his closest assistents

Finally we sit here together and admire the dark circles around each others' eyes. We just have finished the most elaborate project we have ever worked on - and we are damn proud of it.
To assort, cut and finally make the available movie from the 2500 hours of material, we consumed 300 packages of cigarettes, 1200 beers, buckets of coffee, numerous sausages, hamburgers and other terrible, but invigorating fast food. The days Tom visited us, we surely had to increase the beer and tobacco consumption dramatically for reasons of concentration. The story of the ,,3 Musketeers" Bobby, Bernemann and of course Tom grabbed us in such an engrossing way that we almost had to suppress our private lives for about 6 month. A big thanks and an even bigger sorry goes to all our friends, girlfriends and families who have already pronounced us insane and thought we have an off-the-record relationship with the band. Well we can calm you down - beside our soft spot for project-based sodomy - we remained faithful to our beloved ones. We also want to thank all the members of our crew who where the ones that made us able to cope with that monster of a project. Indeed the biggest gratitude goes to the band we mentioned above, for the possibilty they gave us to create that unique film by telling us their agitating story. A film is always as good as its story and protagonists - we are just the glue. About 60 participants from the worldwide music-biz, we don't even had to force to give us a fast statement, who rather came to us inentionally to announce their sympathy and love for the band, make the film an obeisance to one of the most significant bands of the whole Thrash- and Metalcommunity. We hope that the film will keep you in the same suspense we felt during the production. Close the doors, grab one of the beers from the crate in front of you and experience all ups and downs with the band they've experienced during the last 13 years.
After 25 years the band is still not done, contrariwise they are even in the best shape ever. That's also the reason we are going to finish these lines now - you don't think this was the final part, don't you? We will now raise our glasses to 25 years of Sodom and then start immidiately with the prearrangement for the next part.
Long live Sodom...Cheers!

New Tourdates confirmed !!!

Dear Fans!

Here you've got some facts from Tom Angelripper about some projects he is looking forward to.

Sodom DVD Lords of Depravity Part 2:

The time has come... After we've checked our vast stuff we've collected over the last 15 years we are currently editing the DVD which will obviously be finished till the next month. The whole creation will offer you over five hours only of Sodoms finest. You had to wait for this DVD long enough but guys your patience will be recompensed. Refer to our producer Ronald Matthes it would be the most extensive music project he has ever accompanied and accomplished. At the moment I'm not affected to talk about an optionally release date but the DVD will be available in stores this summer and punctually before the festival season starts, for sure.

Sodom, new album:

The current economic problems have overtaken and finally reached the music buiss, too. Also the labels have to suffer from that which in our case applies to the label SPV. This also applied to the artists when it comes to the well planned releases which had to be deferred. But now SVP is newly built up and ready for action. They are currently concentrating on the remainder of the bands like us. Therefor there will be no barrier we will have to bear due to our new album so we have already got the stuff we need. Finally we have to file here and there in the studio to our and your satisfaction. There has never been an SODOM album which was as wide ranged, as powerful and as typically Sodom as this one. At the moment we are searching for a new studio which is able to fulfill our ideas of a high quality production. We will start the recording in summer so as to we are able to release the album in fall or pre-Christmas trade.
At this point I'd like to thank you for your patience one more time.

Agent Orange LP and CD finally released.
