To this end, the human factor is crucial — along with the right equipment, of course. After all it's about authenticity and individual personality. With that in mind, SODOM came to a logical conclusion: to enable the most natural production possible, the drum parts on \"The Arsonist\" were recorded using a 24-track analog tape machine. No studio tricks, no digital overdubs, or, to quote frontman Thomas \"Angelripper\" Such: \"No plastic! The difference in sound compared to today's standard drum productions is amazing and has had a positive effect on all the instruments. Naturally, time and effort as well as costs were also higher, but we're happy to fork out for a superior result.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, 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 — Thomas \"Angelripper\" Such (vocals, bass),Frank Blackfire (guitar),York Segatz (guitar) and Toni Merkel (drums) — involved in the development of the material on \"The Arsonist\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTom says: \"Frank contributed those typical SODOM riffs and hooks again, whereas York favors more epic songwriting. As a perfect complement to both of them, Toni, who is also an excellent guitarist, contributed a number of songs and helped to make the album even more versatile.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first single and lyric video, \"Trigger Discipline\", the toughest song on \"The Arsonist\", is now released. The song sounds equally martial and is about a sniper who has completely lost control of his actions and shoots people indiscriminately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigipack CD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPV\/Steamhammer 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z5b4n5TJqZQ?si=UiKvu6rSV9v3tdnB\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steamhammer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51420565569809,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/3914\/1044\/files\/sodom_the_arsonist_cover_1_1_1.jpg?v=1744368534","url":"https:\/\/rekviem.no\/products\/sodom-the-arsonist-cd-preorder","provider":"Rekviem","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
