I'm not, and if you remember, this used to be the avatar of my old account.
What do you think of it?

He looks more like a medieval executioner to me.

If the guy on the cover showed up at your doorstep angry and holding that sword ready to kill you, would you still say he is from a childrens book? lol

Kind of weak and repetitive. Production sounds good for 84, it is shame that I can't say same for the song writing.

Considering this was basically the band's debut, and the time, it is a good album. Well, the repetitive style is kind of Sodom trademark.

Interesting choice. I wonder which might be your second favourite from them. Considering your first choice, my guess would be their 1986 album.

I actually think Obsessed by Cruelty has a weaker sound. Persecution Mania is my favorite full-length.

It does, I agree. But there are a couple of total bangers on OBC. PM is of course a classic. Only topped by Agent Orange for me.

Hard album to rate. I'd probably give it a 6.5 if I could. A very innovative and unique sound for sure. But at times, too repetitive, simplistic, and poorly executed. Outbreak of Evil and Witching Metal are kind of catchy.

Overall the album is just a bit cringe. It's trying very hard lyrically to be evil, but the sound just doesn't back it up.
