The following is a comprehensive
discography of
Sodom, a German
thrash metal band. Formed in 1982, they have so far released sixteen studio albums, three live albums, two compilations, a DVD, two EPs, three singles, and two demos.
The band are considered one of the three biggest
Teutonic thrash metal acts, the other two being
Kreator and
Destruction. While the other two bands developed a sound that has influenced
death metal, Sodom created a sound that has influenced many
black metal bands that formed in the late 1980s and the 1990s.
Two versions of Obsessed by Cruelty were issued in a short space of time. The original mix was pressed up, but then not found to be satisfactory and so the entire album was remixed.[1]
"Following the best 3 albums of their career and a five-year hiatus, their self-titled umpteenth album rekindles all the elemental power that won them so many denim-clad followers in the eighties."[4]
The Final Sign of Evil contains a complete re-recording of their 1984 EP In the Sign of Evil and previously unreleased material not included on the EP.
"As was the case with their very uneven career, Sodom's two-disc 'greatest-hits' set, Ten Black Years, is not the sort of collection one can easily appreciate when heard from start to finish."[6]
