Sodom in the sign of evil full ep 1984
In the Sign of Evil is the first EP and the debut release by German thrash metal band Sodom, released in 1984 by Devil's Game independent record label. The record is considered part of the first wave of black metal. Despite the melodic rawness, the over-the-top lyrics ("My life begins at midnight twelve, masturbate to kill myself") and the elementary structure of the songs, two of them ("Outbreak of Evil" and "Blasphemer") were regularly played by the band twenty-five years into its career, and are considered crowd favorites.
