| In the Sign of Evil/Obsessed by Cruelty (Steamhammer) 1984/1986 In the Sign of Evil 1. Outbreak of Evil 2. Sepulchral Voice 3. Blasphemer 4. Witching Metal 5. Burst Command 'til War Obsessed by Cruelty 6. Deathlike Silence 7. Brandish the Sceptre 8. Proselytsim Real 9. Equinox 10. After the Deluge 11. Obsessed by Cruelty 12. Fall of Majesty Town 13. Nuctemeron 14 Pretenders to the Throne 15. Witchhammer 16. Volcanic Slut I picked this album up from my local CD retailer for the low price of $20.00 (it came with the two-in-one CD and Persecution Mania). Although the production of the album sucks, it's a great thrash album nonetheless; if you can withstand the bad production. The drums drown out the guitar and bass in much of the song and the lyrics are almost not understandable. Cranking it up doesn't help much either, but it's great music to headbang to. |

| Persecution Mania (Steamhammer) 1987 1. Nuclear Winter 2. Electrocution 3. Iron Fist 4. Persecution Mania 5. Enchanted Land 6. Procession to Golgatha 7. Christ Passion 8. Conjuration 9.Bombenhagel [Bonus Tracks] 10. Outbreak of Evil 11. Sodomy and Lust 12. The Conqueror 13. My Atonement Sodom's third release and quite an improvement from the first two. The music is clean cut thrash and the vocals are understandable. The opening track Nuclear Winter is a killer song. Iron Fist sounds like Motorhead a lot. This album's Outbreak of Evil is certainly much better than that of "In the Sign of Evil." This album jumpstarted Sodom's career outside of Germany. |
