Leave it to the cool folks at Decibel Books to do something great for the fans of bands like German thrash outfit Sodom. Earlier today, they announced that they’ll be releasing an English version of Sodom: The Official Authorized Biography with the blessing of the legendary German thrash outfit themselves. It will be the first time the book will be published in English.
With just over 300 pages, the hardcover release will feature interviews with every current and past member, more than 200 rare and previously unreleased photos, and even more deep dive content for fans to sink their teeth into. The whole thing just dives into the insanity that was thrash metal in the early 80s when Sodom was working on their debut release In the Sign of Evil and breaking out.
The official synopsis for the book reads as follows:
“Decibel Books proudly presents Sodom: The Official Authorized Biography, the fully authorized biography of the German thrash legends Sodom, finally painstakingly translated into English!
“With Sodom: The Official Authorized Biography, Dr. Holger Schmenk visits the deepest basement rehearsal rooms and scours the roughest pubs to unearth the unfiltered truth about Tom Angelripper and his ever-changing lineup of bandmates.
“From their wild early days of the Witching Metal demo to their international breakthrough with Agent Orange, and right up to the present day – Schmenk tells the unvarnished story of a thrash metal legend that has gone through more guitarists than other bands have gone through amplifiers.”
If that wasn’t enough to excite you, Decibel Books is offering an exclusive excerpt to check out before you ultimately decide to preorder the damn thing. The book is expected to ship late May/early June, so you’re gonna want to get your order in soon.
