According to Tom Angelripper, the mastermind of German thrash metal legends Sodom, the band’s next album will be its heaviest ever. Angelripper and his bandmates have commenced work on the follow-up to 2020’s “Genesis XIX” LP.
Tom Angeripper said: “We are still working on new material for a new album. We have three [songs so far]. I can tell you this will be the heaviest Sodom album ever. I don’t know when it’s gonna be released — next year or 2024 — because I wanna work on it without any pressure. It’s very important. When the songs are finished, everything is fixed, we can talk to a record company to get an option to release. That’s also the business. But, yes, we are always active. During the corona times, we had more time for writing songs and recording an album. That was the only positive in these times. But ‘Genesis XIX’ was a wonderful album ’cause we spent more time recording it”.
Sodom’s latest album, the 40th-anniversary album, “40 Years At War – The Greatest Hell Of Sodom”, arrived on October 28, 2022 through Steamhammer/SPV.
