Tom Angelripper on The 40 Years of Sodom 

Awesome interview! One of my favourite bands of all time. There's been lack of interviews in English with Sodom members in the last couple of years, therefore it's nice to see one. Tom's a cool, down to earth guy, and very talkative. I got to know a few interesting things I've been wondering about. Thanks!

Legendary. congratulations on talking to Angelripper! Witchhunter was my favorite Sodom drummer during his prime (for Persecution Mania and Agent Orange) faves. glad he still has Blackfire killer riffs and solos! Looking forward to hear the next record hopefully Harris Johns produces he definitely has the track record with Sodom and Kreator pleasure to kill

This is so interesting! Tom says the key to their longevity is never changing, but Sodom is my favorite band exactly because they evolved a lot from album to album. They've gone from black, to death, to crossover/d-beat, to full-on punk, back to thrash again, even some melodeath

Yes! Make a N American tour happen for Sodom!

Sodom is my first exposure to thrash metal experience when I was a teenager in mid 90s and these guys are just legendary metal warriors that will remain my favorite since that love fro first sight ✨

He looks like a humble down to earth guy, love this band since the Persecution Mania days. Genesis XIX is their best album since Agent Orange for me, go figure who could imagine!!!!

Great interview, btw. I hope the next album delivers heaviness like "Friendly Fire", that song is brutal!

You know?

Tapping the vein is my favourite - absolute monster

What a legend - sounds like a really nice guy, so interesting - love Sodom !

Yeah! Bringing back Harris Johns as producer would be great.

The first Sodom song I ever heard was "Sepulchral Voice" off the "Speed Kills 2: The Mayhem Continues" compilation cassette in 1986. I'm telling ya', it sure scared me out of my pants! I've been a fan ever since.

Get what you deserve Is my favorite sodom album! Glad knowing Tom thinks Is one of his best.

40 years.. 🎉 Better off dead is my favorite album in terms of musicianship

Totally agree with Tom! agent orange in not the best, (i am fed up of agent orange too) my favorites are Tapping the Vein, Code Red, M-16, In War and Pieces and Genesis XIX

Best of the german big 4 imo....sodom always deliver great thrash

The Germans reengineered the T800 Lemmy Version well.

Tom is such an awesome guy, I am grateful to have seen them many times one of the all time greatest thrash bands to ever walked this earth.

Code Red is a spectacular album

i'm your number one fan in Iran, yeah i live there & i don't know how long i'll stay alive to meet you one day but i can say i lived with you & Lemmy since i was 16, i was a power lifter & i listend SODOM & MOTOR HEAD. love & respect to you & Germany.

"Sodom is always number two" :D

Sodom is my top 5 favourite thrash metal band persecution mania,agent orange,tapping the vein, code red,m16,epitome of toture,decision days and genesis xix was my favourites Sodom albums.🤘🤘🤘🤘

„Willkommen bei Sodom, Ihre Bestellung bitte? Ein Bombenhagel? Gerne!“ Tom, bester Mann! ❤

He mentions "we need a serious promomoter to come to the u.s." maryland deathfest tried TWICE and cancelled... what happened? Is he saying their not serious promoters?

First Sodom I heard back in the mid 80s was Sepulchral voice . That riff cuts through anything .

My favorite Sodom album is M-16. What a perfect record it is. Love most of the songs on that album :)

If Sodom comes plays my hometown for Psycho, I’ll shit my pants.

All hail sodom
