German thrash metal legends, Sodom, have released a new video for the single "1982" (Remix)". The song is taken from the upcoming 1982 EP, and is also available on all digital platforms here.
Tom Angelripper comments on the track: “These days, we’d probably compose those songs differently and arrange them in a more contemporary style. But we see this EP as a little journey back in time to recapture the atmosphere of the early eighties. For us, it’s about remembering those wild years. Back then, people hated bands like Motörhead or Venom. But we didn’t give a shit about their opinion, we wanted to shock and outrage."
That was 41 years ago, but the influence of that formative era still affects the present, which is why Tom and Sodom wrote the track "1982", recalling the band’s first steps both musically and lyrically. Now, "1982" as well as re-recordings of their early songs "Witching Metal", "Victims Of The Death", "Let’s Fight In The Darkness Of Hell" and "Equinox" have been immortalized on vinyl, some on CD, for the first time.
Also, as any dynamic, legendary band would, they’ve also scheduled a tour for 2023-24 in the spirit of that early Sodom era.
