my fav thrash band! Everything thrash is about Sodom define it! This is a VERY difficult poll but i'll go for Obssesed as well! Soooo many over the top lps:Tapping The Vein, Better Of Dead, Persecution Mania ,Code Red.......... i can go on for days!

Although "In The Sign Of Evil" is my fav.....................

So you're the one. From the looks of it it seems In The Sign Of Evil would've gotten to most votes overall.

Expurse Of Sodomy, hands down for me. Dark lyrics and atmosphere, great production and incredible tracks.

Why???

Best album in my opinion.

I don't know. It just sounded utterly boring and hookless at first. I like it nowadays though. I still prefer In the Sign of Evil, Presecution Mania and perhaps Tapping The Vein over it.

if "final sign" would have been released as a full LP in 1984 instead of "in the sign", it would probably one of my favorite LPs ever. as it stands, i still think it's very fucking good.

I'll go for the Steamhammer pressing. Faster, tuned lower, & a mad farty bass solo on "Equinox".

I went for Persecution Mania. The Expurse 12" is the absolute peak of Sodom for me. Shame there was no room on the poll for Mortal Way of Live.

What the fuck's an expurse?

Seconded! Their best recording!!!

But, Persecution Mania, is probably their best album, followed by Obsessed & AO!

Always loved the Persecution Mania cover!

'Obsessed by Cruelty' very closely followed by 'Persecution Mania'. I also totally love 'In the Sign of Evil' and 'Expurse of Sodomy'. But I can never forget being 15 or something in the late 80s and my dad offering to buy me an LP at a record store - I picked 'Obsessed by Cruelty' and said that's the one I wanted. His expression was great! But he did buy me the album, haha!
I only heard the Metal Blade version several years later and thought it sucked. So for me it's the Steamhammer version all the way!
I never heard 'Tapping the vein' other than for a song or two. I see I must check it out, with so many recommendations here.
'Agent Orange' is a great album, but nothing comes close to the earlier material.
I still very much enjoyed the 'Better Off Dead' album. I loved (and love) the embossed LP cover.
'Mortal Way of Live' is skullcrushing too, and I must have spun it a zillion times as a teenager.

I always thought they must mean "expurgation" or something like that.

Even replaced with "Expurge" the title doesn't really make sense. But that's Sodom!

never heard the Metal Blade version.. considering Tom's quote on MA, the recording for Metal Blade was the first (thought it was the other way round

) so the kvltier sound is probably on that one?
