Sodom

SODOM return with full force – unleashing a new chapter of unrelenting thrash: The Arsonist. Set for release on June 27, 2025 via Steamhammer/SPV, the new studio album delivers ten blistering tracks that burn with raw intensity. With Tom Angelripper still leading the charge after over four decades, the sound remains deeply rooted in Teutonic tradition, yet infused with fresh fire – direct, destructive, and without compromise. SODOM has always been a cornerstone of the thrash metal scene, and their upcoming album continues to uphold this legacy with unrelenting intensity.

The record bursts forth with raw energy, showcasing the band's signature aggressive sound that fans have come to adore over the decades. In an industry dominated by digital production, SODOM takes a bold step back into the analog realm, recording their drums on a 24-track tape machine. This decision infuses their music with a warmth and authenticity rarely found in modern metal. Lyrically and musically, The Arsonist delves deep into themes of destruction and resilience. Each track is meticulously crafted to deliver an auditory assault that is both chaotic and precise. From the explosive opener "The Arsonist" to the haunting melodies of "Twilight Void," SODOM'S ability to balance ferocity with melody remains unmatched. This album is not just a nod to their past but a declaration that they are still at the forefront of thrash metal innovation.
