Uncle Meat's Review:
Sodom’s fourth release, and second album not counting the EPs.  At this point Sodom had relined themselves to settle down a bit.  Not in their intensity, but in the craziness of their compositions.  The songs here are more in the straight forward thrash vein.  Angelripper still sings his not-clean/not-dirty vocals while trying to make his bass stand out.  Witchhunter plays pretty restrained while Blackfire is all over the place during his solos.  This lineup would remain together until 88's Mortal Way Of Life.  Make sure to check Procession To Golgotha:  slow, creepy, moody.  And how can any album go wrong with a cover of Iron Fist?
