Sodom - 'Scavenger' (official audio)

Your creeping spirit punished me
Horrible facts have been revealed
Just mocking laughter from deep inside
I’m ready for a suicide
You are the one to taste my blood
Enlightenment came with every stab
To leave me where the others lie
When flesh and soul divide

You’re a scavenger
Sinister claws and mercy refused
You’re a scavenger
Soaked in moralin for the final escort

You are the evil sore of damnation
Coupled with the erotic stench of death
There is nothing you do not despise
When your seed stimulates my strength
The smell of decay with cute effects
Desecrated and deflorated
Ordered to attend the immortal wake
Ready for the final blade

You’re a scavenger
Sinister claws and mercy refused
You’re a scavenger
Soaked in moralin for the final escort

The truth is turned into the opposite
The view of this world is transfigured
Godlessness invades your eyes
The deceptive facade revealed

They circle like vultures over your remains
Looking for guts to find eternal life
Bullets hits where justice fails
Enemies buried through your mind

You’re a scavenger
Sinister claws and mercy refused
You’re a scavenger
Soaked in moralin for the final escort

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 κυκλοφορεί ήδη...

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).»
