German thrash metal veterans Sodoms 2019 EP, Out Of The Frontline Trench, contains three brand new tracks as well as new recordings (studio and live) of two Sodom classics. Frontman Thomas Angelripper Such comments: Postcards and letters from my granddad, which I discovered among the things he left behind when he died, and some TV documentaries have given me a vague idea of what it must have been like for soldiers back in those days to leave their trenches and face those life-threatening battles. The close relationship between a metal band and its fans can be measured by — among other things — how long the group makes its supporters wait for new songs. So looking at it from that perspective, Sodom is definitely exemplary seeing that it has always supplied their huge following with new material at regular intervals. Tom calls the recording “a sign of life for our fans,” having cut this songs together with his guitarists Frank Blackfire Gosdzik (also formerly of Kreator, Assassin) and Yorck Segatz (Beyondition) plus drummer Stefan “Husky” Hüskens (Asphyx, Desaster). Blackfire previously played with Sodom on the seminal albums Persecution Mania, Mortal Way Of Live and Agent Orange. Commented Such: We’re a real family again. We all really enjoy the new line-up. There’s a real team spirit again; we’re having a great time together, every one of us is interested in everything and — really important! — everybody is there for everybody else. Obviously that kind of atmosphere is bound to have a positive effect on the songwriting.
