Sodom finally announced their new album! EPITOME OF TORTURE

The album will be released on 29.04.2013.

Here is the news from sodomized.info:

Germany's most eminent thrash metal band SODOM have announced the arrival of their new studio album Epitome Of Torture on 29 April 2013 (Germany: 26 April 2013, US: 7 May 2013). In recent months, vocalist/bassist Tom Angelripper, guitarist Bernemann and their new drummer Markus "Makka" Freiwald recorded a total of twelve new tracks (plus a Motörhead cover) which present Sodom as more diverse and multi-faceted than ever. "Epitome Of Torture features not only your typical Sodom fare, but also two or three numbers which are slightly more moderate and melodic than what people have come to expect from us," Tom Angelripper explains, "so wait and see!"

Epitome Of Torture was produced by Waldemar Sorychta, whose expertise as a sound engineer and audio magician thoroughly benefitted Sodom's 2010 release In War And Pieces. Tom Angelripper: "Waldemar is a true authority. He doesn't let you get away with anything, he knows all our weak spots. Which occasionally makes working at the studio a little demanding, but at the end of the day it's all worthwhile, as the result shows." The Sodom frontman describes the sound on Epitome Of Torture as "hard-as-nails and contemporary, without ignoring our tried-and-tested old-school attitude."

The new album will be available in four different formats: as a limited-edition DigiPak including two bonus tracks and a poster, in a regular jewel case, as a double gatefold vinyl including three bonus tracks and for download. The cover artwork featuring Sodom's popular "Knarrenheinz" logo was developed by graphic designer Meran Karanitant, who has caused a stir with his work for Six Feet Under, Hatebreed and Dimmu Borgir, among others.

There will also be a video clip to support Epitome Of Torture: together with the ROAX team (Sodom: Lords of Depravity Vol 1+2, Volbeat, The BossHoss, W:O:A - to name but a few), Sodom are about to start shooting a video for their new album song 'Stigmatized' in Berlin. "Sodom haven't had an official video clip for some time, so it's about time we did one," Tom Angelripper confesses. "That's why the mini film will be uncompromising, a shocking clip which our fans can look forward to!"

Sodom's Iron Fist cover will be featured in "The Big Teutonic 4" compilation.

Here is the news by Beastival:

Tomorrow, December 22, the new issue #82 of German “Legacy” magazine will be out – including an exclusive four-track compilation of THE BIG TEUTONIC 4! This unique CD in slipcase presents the Teutonic thrash legends KREATOR, TANKARD, DESTRUCTION and SODOM performing four cover versions of world-famous all time metal classics, namely:

1. KREATOR – “The Number Of The Beast” (by Iron Maiden)
2. SODOM – “Iron Fist” (by Motörhead)
3. DESTRUCTION – “The Hammer” (by Motörhead)
4. TANKARD – “The Prisoner” (by Iron Maiden)

The album is available for purchase in CD format from Nuclear Blast.

This is the interview I made with Tom at Rock am Hartsfeldsee Festival on 29.06.2012. Actually, it was more like a chat and I made it into an interview. Enjoy...

 

What can you say about the new album?
8 songs are ready. We hope to release it in January 2013. It will be a very heavy album.

Will there be any songs with German lyrics?
No.

Any covers?
No. It is always difficult to release covers. Permissions, money...

In which versions will you release the album? Will there be some limited editions?
In all versions you can imagine. In CD, LP, picture disc...

Is there any plan for the DVD Pt. 3? Lots of fans keep asking this.
It is too early yet to release the third part of the DVD. We need one or two years at least to be able to find something to put into it.

Lots of fans ask about re-release of Mortal Way of Live and Live in der Zeche Carl. Perhaps you can release them together as a box set?
I really want to re-release them on DVDs. But the problem is the master recordings are lost! And I don't want to just convert them to DVD just like the ones you can find on the web because the quality would suck any anyway. I need the masters but they are gone! Those shows were recorded with 12 cameras. Now we need to create the whole show from the start with the recording from each camera. That would really be a time consuming job. I hope one day we will do it.

What are your plans for the near future?
I want to re-release Tapping the Vein.

Really? How?
There will be bonus material, some remixes, pre-recording versions of some songs.

Will you re-record it?
No. It will be just the old material coming to surface. Now I am looking for the artist of the album cover to reproduce. I don't want to scan the cover and make it big. That would suck. I need the original version.

Do you have plans to play in a country that you have never played before?
Yes. Serbia. We will play there for the first time.

Where else would you like to play?
We played in lots of countries but not in Africa. It would be cool to be able to play somewhere in Africa. If we get some offers, we can think about it.

And what about Turkey? It has been six years since you were in Turkey.
Just find a promoter and we will play. But this year we are almost fully booked. Maybe we can play in Turkey next year.

The new Onkel Tom album is absolutely great! I think I have listened to it hundred times.
Thank you.

When will you release the new OT album?
I have one or two songs ready but I need to find a company to release it first. With Onkel Tom, you never run out of material.

Yeah, you have lots of schlager songs.
Absolutely.

And what about Die Knappen?
I have quitted Die Knappen.

Really?
Yes. Three bands are too much, you know. I don't have enough time. So it is only Sodom and Onkel Tom now.

Thank you very much, Tom.
Thanks.
