Earlier this year Tom Angelripper (bass, vocals), decided to totally change Sodom, with the return of Frank Blackfire (guitar, ex-Sodom, ex-Kreator, Assassin), and new members Yorck Segatz (guitar, Beyondition) and Husky (drums, Asphyx, Desaster). This three track EP is to introduce the band to their fans, with the music to the first song written by Blackfire, and the music to the second by Segatz. The third song is a live version of “Tired & Red”, recorded on 18th May 2018 during the Rock Hard Festivals at the Gelsenkirchen Amphitheater. This last celebrates the return of Frank Blackfire, as he also played on the original which appeared on ‘Agent Orange’ back in 1989 (Blackfire originally played on both that and 1987’s ‘Persecution Mania’). All three songs show that even after 37 years in the business, Angelripper is showing no signs at all of slowing down. Expect studio album #16 soon, but until then be content with knowing that the German Thrash innovators are still there rocking hard.
