I'll be honest, I never really got into
Sodom and at this point in my writing career I've always thought that
it was too late for me to be waving the teutonic banner high. Yet,
the bands new EP, Sacred Warpath has
proved to me that Sodom still have what it takes to be one of the
worlds premier metal bands. With one new song and three live
recordings of old classics, we have proof once more that Sodom are
legends for a reason. These songs boil with unholy energy and dig
into the flesh of the listener, there is something gloriously unholy
about Sodom's crushing attack.
These
songs have that wonderful touch of evil that makes Sodom special,a
touch that even an essentially non-fan like me can appreciate. Sacred
Warpath is another delicious release from this band with harsh
vocals that are wonderfully easy to latch on to. The chorus is big
and the riffs tasty. Sure, it's very much in the Sodom vein, but you
can't say it isn't good! With Sacred Warpath show
that in 2014, more than four decades into their career, they can
still write, and perform some of the best and most exciting thrash
metal in the world. There's something truly special about the
longevity of this band, that they can maintain the evil through the
trials and tribulations, true metal masters for ages to come.
In
short, if you're a Sodom fan or not, you're going to have to enjoy
what you hear on Sacred Warpath.
Anyone who likes thrash metal will have a hard time denying the glory
of these riffs and the joy of hearing Angelripper tear into songs
about darkness, doom, and woe in front of a legion of screaming fans.
If I didn't touch on it earlier, let me emphasize it now, the live
tracks are incredibly well done and give a great sense of the undying
legacy of Sodom. They prove that this band is only getting to get
bigger, no matter how old they are!
