There are two artists with this name.
1) Sodom is a German thrash metal band formed in Gelsenkirchen, Germany in 1981.
Along with the bands Kreator and Destruction, Sodom is considered one of the “big three” of Teutonic thrash metal. While the other two bands created a sound that would influence death metal, Sodom’s music style would greatly influence many late-1980s and early-1990s black metal bands, among others.
Sodom’s original line-up consisted of Tom Angelripper, Bloody Monster, and Aggressor. The band was initiated by Tom as a desperate attempt to get out of having to work in coal mines in his hometown of Gelsenkirchen. Taking inspiration from bands such as Motörhead, Saxon, Tank, Venom and Accept, the group released two demos which led to a record deal with Steamhammer (which were not recorded with Bloody Monster, who by this time was replaced by Chris “Witchhunter” Dudek). Aggressor left the band shortly before releasing the “In the Sign of Evil” EP (generally regarded as an important early black metal release), and was replaced by Grave Violator, who himself did not last long, and left following the recording of “In the Sign of Evil”. Michael “Destructor” Wulf was found as a replacement, after which the band went and recorded “Obsessed by Cruelty”, their full-length debut featuring music that was mostly in the vein of “In The Sign of Evil”. Wulf did not last in the band long, and later went and joined Kreator (he would not last long there either, and he died in 1993 after a tragic motorcycle accident).
