Sodom In The Sign Of Evil/ Obsessed By Cruelty CD SOUTH AMERICAN PRESS

Description: SODOM (Germany) In The Sign Of Evil / Obsessed By Cruelty CD compilation - RARE SOUTH AMERICAN PRESS German four-piece speed/thrash metal band, regarded as very influential to the modern black metal scene. Sodom's original line-up consisted of Tom Angelripper, Bloody Monster and Aggressor. The band was initially formed by Tom as a desperate attempt to get out of having to work in coal mines in his home town of Gelsenkirchen. Taking inspiration from bands such as Motörhead, Tank, Venom and Accept, they released two demos which led to a record deal with Steamhammer (none of which were recorded with Bloody Monster, who was replaced by Chris Witchunter). Aggressor left the band shortly before releasing the In the Sign of Evil EP (generally regarded as an important early black metal release), and was replaced by Grave Violator, who did not last long himself, and left following the recording of "In The Sign Of Evil". A replacement was found in the form of Michael "Destructor" Wulf. They then went and recorded Obsessed by Cruelty, their full length debut. It featured music that was mostly in the same vein of In The Sign of Evil. Wulf did not last long himself, and later went and joined Kreator (this relationship would not last long either, and the man would later die in 1993 after a tragic motorcycle accident). Compilation of the '84 In the Sign of Evil EP (tracks 1-8) and the '86 Obsessed by Cruelty LP (tracks 9-19). Even though it's listed on the cd as well as in the booklet, the track "After the Deluge" does not appear. Additionally, while the booklet lists 16 songs, 19 songs actually appear. This is because three intros and one outro are being counted as separate tracks.
