SODOM

Debut EP from 1985 by German SODOM, and one of the most influential recordings of the first wave of European Black/Thrash Metal. "In the Sign of Evil" captures the band at its rawest and most savage, delivering an extremely primitive sound that, despite its technical limitations, became a landmark release in the evolution of Thrash, Black and Death Metal.

Its filthy production, straightforward riffing, uncontrolled speed and utterly blasphemous attitude combine to create a uniquely authentic atmosphere from beginning to end. Rather than striving for perfection, SODOM crafted a ferocious and irreplaceable work whose influence has extended across generations, making it an essential release for understanding the development of extreme metal in Europe.
