Just now:Any Sodom Fans? Here’s the Latest on the Legendary Thrash Metal Icons….
Thrash metal enthusiasts around the world are buzzing with excitement as Sodom, one of the most respected names in the genre, continues to fuel their legacy. Known for their raw sound and rebellious spirit, Sodom, formed back in 1981 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, has built a devoted fanbase across generations. But which fans are showing up these days, and what’s keeping this legendary band going strong?
Sodom’s fanbase — often dubbed the “Sodomaniacs” — is as diverse as ever. From veteran headbangers who have followed the band since the mid-1980s, to Gen Z listeners who discovered Sodom on streaming platforms like Spotify and YouTube, the devotion is palpable. Whether you caught them thrashing on stage during their European tour last summer or you’ve been wearing one of their iconic shirts since the Agent Orange days, Sodom fans are united by a shared appreciation for intense, uncompromising metal.
And they’ve had plenty to be excited about recently. Sodom’s last full-length album, Genesis XIX (2020), was widely hailed as a return to form — proof that frontman Tom Angelripper and the band can still craft aggressive, technically sharp songs after all these years. Tracks like “Sodom & Gomorrah” and “Euthanasia” showcase their classic thrash roots with a modern edge, winning over a new generation of fans.
This summer, Sodom has announced they’ll be hitting the road once again, bringing their brutal live show to festivals and venues across Europe. The upcoming tour is expected to feature deep cuts from their extensive catalog, including rarities that longtime listeners have been dying to hear live. Fans are especially hoping for live renditions of “Nuclear Winter” and “Outbreak of Evil,” two early classics that rarely make it into setlists these days.
But which Sodom fans will show up this time around? It looks like everyone. Die-hard old-school fans will sport patched denim vests and long hair, reliving their youth as they mosh alongside younger metalheads discovering Sodom for the first time. On social media, hashtags like #SodomFans and #ThrashMetalFamily are already trending as tickets for the summer tour sell fast.
Despite lineup changes over the years — with Angelripper being the only constant member — Sodom remains a powerhouse in the global thrash scene. According to fan forums and Discord groups dedicated to the band, one thing is clear: Sodom’s community is passionate, opinionated, and excited for the future.
So if you’re one of the Sodom fans reading this right now, brace yourself — there’s no sign of slowing down for one of thrash metal’s most enduring, unrelenting bands. And if you’re new to Sodom’s world, there’s never been a better time to jump in.
