In 1990, S.O.B. found international recognition with their split 7” EP with British band Napalm Death, who are also pioneers of this genre with bands like Terrorizer and mostly Repulsion.

In July of 1989, S.O.B. met Napalm Death during a Japanese tour, and Napalm Death’s members Shane Embury and Lee Dorrian played on the record Thrash Night, an EP released by Dorrian’s label Rise Above. In the same year, the band held a session for John Peel’s Radio program on BBC.

In June of 1995, after the release of Vicious World (their first experimentation with many sound effects and different song structures), Tottsuan, the band’s lead vocalist, committed suicide by jumping onto railroad tracks as a train was moving.
