Sodom: the early years poll

Sodom released a string of incredible thrash albums in the mid 80s through the early 90s. This is the kind of thrash I really get into. I listen to all of these albums on a very consistent basis. I was cranking "Tapping the Vein" today in fact. It seems I could never get tired of these early albums.

Out of these first 6, which is your favorite?

By the way, I know they released a few demos before "In the Sign of Evil", but I'm starting with the EP.

I love them all - but IMO "Agent Orange" is their best work to date.

1. Agent Orange
2. Tapping the Vein
3. Better Off Dead
4. Persecution Mania
5. In the Sign of Evil EP
6. Obsessed by Cruelty (though I still like this one, it just sounds weak compared to the other ones).

Another vote for "Agent Orange"! Cool! Who voted?

I voted agent orange as well. ALL the early stuff is killer, but Ausgebombt is my favorite sodom song, and since it's on agent orange, I voted for that.

i love ALL of those albums, but give me Obsessed By Cruelty since it was the first i owned by them.

Agent Orange.

I would say PERSECUTION MANIA. I am going to see SODOM live with TANKARD this saturday in Valencia city.

Looks like I'm the only vote for "Tapping the Vein"

"DIE WACHTURM!"

Dude, "Tapping the Vein" is easily my second favorite Sodom album! If it weren't for the masterpiece that "Agent Orange" is - I'd have easily voted for it!!!

THANKSSSSSSSSSSSS, i will post a little review on sunday if i can:D. HAIL TO YOU BROTHER.

Persecution Mania or Agent Orange, I can't choose which one is better.

I'm actually surprised to see "Agent Orange" winning. That was always my favorite, but I wasn't aware that most consider it so highly too! Kudos!

Actually, Code Red and M-16 are my favorites, but those weren't an option in this poll.

Thanks, i had a lot of fun. Beside SODOM, also TANKARD and OBSCURE, one of the best early spanish death metal band played, in front of around 800 die hard metal fans.
I was a little drunk but some of the best moments of the concert was with SODOM early and primative metal songs like OUTBREAK OF EVIL, the increible BLASPHEMER(they sounded like a old black metal band on this one), SODOMY AND LUST.....
They also played an increible AGENT ORANGE, AUSGEBOMBT, REMEMBER THE FALLEN, ERWACHET, THE SAW IS THE LAW and many more. One and a half hour concert that was totaly neck breaking thrash metal old school.

Agent Orange

Agent Orange for me!

Sounds like a KILLER show! I'm not real familiar with Tankard or the other band, but Sodom is my favorite thrash metal band ever! Tied with Kreator.

That's awesome they played "Remember the Fallen". That's my favorite song by them!

Yes BLACKIEBOY, REMEMBER THE FALLEN was a great moment in the show. I love that song too. Of the very early songs, BLASPHEMER is my fave.
SODOM is one of my all time favorite thrash metal band too. KREATOR, DESTRUCTION(without schmier), OVERKILL(I HEAR BLACK), or METALLICA all made pussy albums and lost their thrash roots but SODOM never left their roots behind and kept on thrashing and thats what i realy respect.
HAIL TO YOU BROTHER.
