Sodom - 'Witchhunter' (official music video)

A lion’s pride in a restless night
Living out another’s dream
Escorted by marauding wicked souls
A profound heart of steel

Loved by friends who worshiped him
Hated by those who can’t begrudge
Don’t took his kindness for weakness
When you caught into his rage

Glorified reality
Witchhunter
Blind insanity
Witchhunter

A pioneer, no boundaries
The leader of your enemies

War-drums rolling, spiritual healing
Caught in the faith of eternal youth
No raging storm could delete the fire
His best friend made of glass

Loved by friends who worshiped him
Hated by those who can’t begrudge
Don’t took his kindness for weakness
When you caught into his rage

Glorified reality
Witchhunter
Blind insanity
Witchhunter
A pioneer, no boundaries
The leader of your enemies

A cheerful figure full of sadness
Driven by inner lies
The holy light blinds those who see
Disbelievers cursed to eternity

The evil spirits you always called
Never left from your side
Temptation was always too great to resist
All deadly around was divine

Loved by friends who worshiped him
Hated by those who can’t begrudge
Don’t took his kindness for weakness
When you caught into his rage

Glorified reality
Witchhunter
Blind insanity
Witchhunter
A pioneer, no boundaries
The leader of your enemies

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από πέντε (τυπικά τρία αν θεωρήσουμε ως full length και τον δίσκο "40 Years at War - The Greatest Hell of Sodom") έτη για τους Sodom. "The Arsonist" ο τίτλος του νέου πονήματος των Γερμανών thrashers, το οποίο αναμένεται να κυκλοφορήσει στα τελειώματα του τρέχοντος μήνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Sodom returns with ‘The Arsonist‘, their first full-length album since 2020.

It’s not only the complex production process that testifies to the band’s exceptional creative spirit, but also their diverse songwriting, which saw all four Sodom musicians - Tom Angelripper (vocals, bass), Frank Blackfire (guitar), York Segatz (guitar) and Toni Merkel (drums) - involved in the development of the material on ‘The Arsonist’.

The mastering was done by the famous sound engineer Eroc and the cover artwork with its martial design was penned by the exceptional Polish artist Zbigniew M. Bielak (Ghost, Mayhem, among others).»
