Lyrics:
Bad menace
Bloody taste
Hold him in a vicelike grip
Disordered life
A rabid dog
Blinded by deceit
Abhorrence of the paltry
and human remains
Moronic sentiments are born
to be expectorated
Immacualted beauties just a
kind of blasphemy
And everything that moves
is all the energy for him
The vice of killing
His soul was crippled in the past
The vice of killing
No therapy will never last
Unsolicited
Change of heart
Inspired by the gloomy legends
Hemorrhage
Pouring out
Just an absurd gadget
Concentrated
Hungry thoughts
Malevolence incurably fused
Terrified
'Cause the truth
Infested with immoral abuse
Abhorrence of the paltry
and human remains
Moronic sentiments are born
to be expectorated
Immacualted beauties just a
kind of blasphemy
And everything that moves
is all the energy for him
The vice of killing
His soul was crippled in the past
The vice of killing
No therapy will never last
Dreadful pain
Passed away
Just watching for another game
Segregated from
Normality
Psychotic morbid brain
Mischievous greeds
Strange desire
Craving for the victim's wine
Feasting on
Their despair
Unheard screams adorn his evil shrine
Abhorrence of the paltry
and human remains
Moronic sentiments are born
to be expectorated
Immacualted beauties just a
kind of blasphemy
And everything that moves
is all the energy for him
The vice of killing
His soul was crippled in the past
The vice of killing
No therapy will never last

Possibly one of the best thrash songs i've heard.

[@Zlo_dobrem_zwyciezaj]

Agree

[@danielsan2142]

The best music composed by the great Sodom in the last 20 years, in my opinion. A genuine masterpiece!

[@Zelousmarineinspace]

But then there's City Of God

[@mixelplik]

1st time hearing it after 40 years of thrash. Thought I'd heard everything. This is awesome! Love that riff!

[@Xemptuous]

This and Destruction's Thrash Till Death truly bring Thrash back, especially with the new sound technology

[@62Tob]

+Xemptuous Totally agree with you dude!

[@T0rturephile]

Don't forget Testament's _The Gathering_.

[@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066]

They do but Destruction never released an album called "Thrash Till Death". You probably meant "The Antichrist". Don't forget M-16 also a killer album.

[@toddmitchell6362]

i finally got to see sodom live in 2006 aside from seeing slayer in 85 it was one of the. best shows ive ever seen

[@jasonwalters4119]

I remember 20+ years ago in high school hearing this album when it came out. Still one of the heaviest albums I've ever heard.

[@pauldivito8398]

Sodom are one of the real big 4 of thrash metal. Killer song right here.

[@duffbeer9202]

paul divito 1. megadeth
2. slayer
3. sodom
4. anthrax
i like sodom more than slayer but slayer are better overall

[@pauldivito8088]

DUFF Beer Kreator is actually better than all of them.

[@duffbeer9202]

yea... i haven't listened to much of their stuff but the lyrics of satan is real just turned me off to them lol. not very creative. great song other than that

[@checkeredacorn2]

the big 4 is what made it popular doesnt have to be necasserly good

[@arvindshastry1178]

@@duffbeer9202 But how can you judge a band by only listening one song, listen to their albums such as Pleasure to Kill, Terrible Certainty, Extreme Aggression, Coma of Souls, Violent Revolution and Enemy of God, I'm pretty sure these albums would blow you away.

[@brunoferreira394]

Thrash nunca morre!!!!!

[@damage0311]

This song reminds me of Slayer's "Angel of Death"...Long live Tom (Araya & Angelripper)

[@HCWz-_-Over9000]

[@shadowyashatoura]

Ruthlesss!!!!!

[@ThePowerExcess]

[@thrashtildeth247]

Reminds me of Bitter Peace by Slayer.

[@Tamashii42]

Track is 4:20 long. Okay then.

[@jaimesanchezrobles7841]

Sodom!!!

[@EdmondBarcan]

Payback from Slayer. Kerry King - riffstealer

[@amysinlafea4907]

lml

[@jeffthekiller628]

It reminds me of Angel of Death lol

[@liltito1519]

C'mon, Sodom just DEVOURS Anthrax, most overrated thrash band ever, Sodom should be in the B4 instead

[@thevoidaintdeep6475]

+Total Blackness666 The big 4 popularized it among people back in the 80s as it is the case. That's what they're praised for, not their pure skill. Either way Sodom can easily be placed as one of the best 4 Thrash bands ever and so can Kreator

[@zephyrous87]

If it weren't for Benante (one of the best drummers out there), Anthrax would be nothing more than music for kindergarden, diaper-wearing toddlers, unoriginal, always trying to be "part of" a scene, whether it was thrash, punk/hc, rap metal, you name it. On the other hand, Sodom always followed their path, not caring to make "experiments" in the 90s (as for example Kreator did, by releasing a goth album, lol) or used their music to make a strictly political statement (as for example Kreator again, who lost it totally when they learned to play their instruments). Sodom fucking rule, pure barbaric thrash all the way, not having the need to prove anything to anyone.

[@mr.tajtas4259]

Agreed

[@flaviusurs2880]

Right! But i'd like to say America had Metallica and Megadeth but in Europe , Sodom, Kreator they keep high, i love them.

[@T0rturephile]

Live versions are better.

[@davidscosta1917]

Thrashhhhh
