German thrash institution Sodom is throwing it back to the band’s early days with their latest EP, 1982. Announced earlier today for release via Steamhammer/SPV, the EP features the previously-released title track (remixed for this release), “Witching Metal” and three new songs.
Frontman Tom Angelripper recalls the band’s early days that inspired 1982.
“Basically, we chose the wrong key, but we weren’t about musical correctness, we were all about attitude,” Angelripper said. We were against the establishment, we were in trouble with our teachers and training supervisors because, in their opinion, we wore the wrong clothes and listened to the wrong kind of music. At vocational college, I was the only one into metal. All the others listened to New Wave or Neue Deutsche Welle.”
In addition to the EP, Sodom announced a number of European live dates.
1982′ Track List:
1. 1982 (Remix)
2. Witching Metal
3. Victims of Death
4. Let`s Fight in the Darkness of Hell
