Sodom is like a big, ugly rock in the middle of a river. The currents change, the seasons change, hell - even the flora and fauna changes… but Sodom is still in the same place as before. Well, at least till now! For the first time ever these legendary thrash metallers decided to alter their traditional sound and include elements of other styles. The results might not be perfect but still - appreciate the magnitude of this event, people!

Finally! Sodom releases something new since 2001's "M-16" which was a decent album, but sounded a little uninspired in my opinion. What we have here in the new album, aptly titled "SODOM" is a hammer to the face of old school thrash with some melodic influences. Right from the start, the album pushes itself forth with intensity and speed. After a quick intro with acoustic guitars, the heavy instruments kick in and you can't help but love it. This is thrash in all its glory, folks. Of course, there are good aspects of this CD, which is the speed and intensity. Not to mention the guitar solos are sometimes really wicked (Especially in City of God.) But there also some bad aspects that can't be just simply overlooked. First off is the weak sounding guitars used on the album. The guitars lack a much needed crunch and sound almost garage-ish. Also, there is a problem with the double bass drums which can't be heard at all throughout the entire cd, unless you turn your bass up almost all the way. They seem to get muffled a lot in the chaos of every instrument being played at the same time.
