Sodom - Obsessed By Cruelty Lyrics






Delivered from the chains of subjection
Almighty his chivalry urge
Exiled in the cruelties clutch
Strangled in the believe in himself
Growned with the charm of salomo
Halluzinations and mysterious
Drift him into an inconceivable war

He get stigmated in a holy war
Against apocalyptic mights
Nails claws in his own breast
Eyes so black as night
A red blazed aperture let see
Thee blood filled beating heart

He is an impetuous thundered god
His revenge get cruel
Hateful thought lead him
An almost intolerable sight

With a frightful weight
Demolish christian stamped bodies
Their tears and blood of
Deception and insidiousness
Doze away to the ground
Smash of imperium of
Uncontrolled religious expansion

Last furious warrior
Pursued by fire
Pack of hound behind him
Mankind hopeless fear

Obsessed by Cruelty
Impalement for destroy
Obsessed by Cruelty
Deadly, cold and grey

After carnage is over grinded bones
Covered the endless battlefield
Broken is the residence
Triumph about innocents boast him
Only unseen nocturnal things let remember
And you know who he is

He is an impetuous thundered god
Ashes to dust behind his ways
Urged by unveiled damnation
Mankind hopeless fear

Obsessed by Cruelty
Impalement for destroy
Obsessed by Cruelty
Deadly, cold and grey

Sodom Obsessed By Cruelty Comments
  1. N.... A....

    16:12 is when the moshpit starts. just saying

  2. D.... C....

    Obsessed with a really loud drum set.

  3. M.... P....

    Hail Sodom!!!!!!

  4. M.... P....

    Amazing album one of my favorite

  5. L.... W....

    Hi Sodom fans. Do you know if in Ostrava 20 will be Kost?

  6. S.... R....

    Totally uncharted sound. The lyrics on the whole album are so intense. Compare these words to what is "spit or screamed" today. People can't get past the sound quality of metal from this era. There is no originality today. Every time I hear scream-O - (the kind of crap that literally sounds like everyone else.) Artists for the most part tried to be different and bring something to the table. Singers did not sound the same. Emo didn't exist. Anyway, this album is a masterpiece. If you can't feel it....take a hit of acid and let it melt into your brain.WitchHunter was the sickest. R.I.P.

  7. T.... P....

    When they recorded this album, they didn't know how to master their instruments yet ! Especially the drummer....very sloppy

  8. J.... M....

    Intro sounds like Samael

  9. N.... B....

    Pobij ih sve jebacu hahahah

  10. b.... ....

    Legend!!!
    My youngest 17 years every day play this vinil!
    Hil from Brasil 🇧🇷🤘🤘🤘🤘 to legends Sodom!
    Old bastard!

  11. Q.... S....

    More fiendish and evil than the black metal"creators" , Venom! 😆😔

  12. T.... ....

    There will NEVER be another album like this again. This and The Return Bathory are the two most evil in the first wave.

  13. T.... L....

    Best the best !!!!😈😈😈😈😈

  14. J.... M....

    This is like the "Reek of Putrefaction" of Black Metal : a Shitty album , poorly produced , weak instrumental , uninspired riffs and so , but still revered as a masterpiece and a genre definer . As for me , I´d take Celtic Frost or even early Sepultura over this anyways ...

  15. J.... M....

    I never liked this album . If you put this side by side with Persecution Mania and Agent Orange you see how much they evolved in only 1 year . This sounds like crap to me , so did the first EP .

  16. C.... ....

    I believe that the proto black of Germany is my favorite like sodom destruction kreator those are the best examples of thrash/black that come in my mind when I think proto black.

  17. D.... H....

    I just stumbled across this version by accident. I had no idea that there were two different versions. I know the other version from childhood which is much creepier sounding. This one is awesome though, never thought I would ever hear After the Deluge since the cassette of the other has it on the track listing but not on the tape. Wow, this is so crazy. I'm in shock right now. Yay!

  18. R.... ....

    Pure Black/Speed Mayhemic Metal

  19. T.... P....

    This version is infinitely better than the American version

  20. A.... X....

    Eita podrera dos infernos, bom demais porra!

  21. R.... c....

    Hevy metal classic

  22. J.... F....

    I used to be terrified of this band. Now after some black metal I am ready.

  23. s.... ....

    I love it how nearly all the riffs sound the same

    s.... ....

    Cos that's pretty much the only riff he knew how to play ! They could barely play their instruments at this time.....they desperately needed music lessons in those days

  24. C.... M....

    I remember buying this on cassette when it came out strictly because of the cover, we were always trying to outdo each other by finding the most graphic covers, I think I won that month

  25. r.... ....

    So good

  26. D.... 6....

    Hell yeah

  27. z.... ....

    I hear a bit of 'No Remorse' in one of the songs...

  28. A.... C....

    Visti a novara! Stupendi.

  29. P.... G....

    Forget about digital bullshit, fancy headphones, ultra high end home stereo systems whatever. The best way to indulge into the real juices of this album is by playing it in the loudest, crankiest sound PA system you can put together in max volume, period. This particular record carved through the DNA core of what years later became the "second wave of black metal bands". Even Euronimous named its label "Deathlike Silence". The crude, unfiltered sound barrage that this album contains is the true beauty of the extreme metal craft. I remember I used to play this gem through a PA system I used to rehearse or perform at max volume, closed my eyes and damn it was like Sodom itself were rehearsing there... truly a gem.

  30. O.... P....

    Nice guitar sound, but still shit, pure shit

  31. r.... ....

    More cowbell.

  32. G.... G....

    If this is the US version then its way better than this version I heard before

    G.... G....

    This is the European Version

  33. A.... T....

    SODOM is a band that influenced many others by this kind of sound! Aggressive rotten speed metal! From Black to Death and Thrash Metal ,evolving along is carreer! This album shuold be re-recorded by the band,using the digital production of nowadays! Great songs here! 10!!

  34. j.... h....

    One of the first wave of Black Metal bands

  35. s.... s....

    obssessed by cruelty de 86 o full lenght do sodom muito bom,classico do black thrash old school.

  36. A.... M....

    Classic!

  37. s.... m....

    Sodom is back to city samethingsthatiwilldo

  38. P.... P....

    Evil sounding thrash or black metal?
    Start discussing.

    P.... P....

    First wave black metal

    P.... P....

    It really is like asking whether Possessed was a death or thrash band

  39. B.... O....

  49. D.... X....

    What version is this? Mine ( CD split with sign of evil Spv) doesn’t sound this Brutal.

    D.... X....

    DracoRepto X The ones on the CD were re-recordings due to the facr that the record company thought the album sounded too poor in terms of production. This version is the original, which sounds more brutal due to its raw nature

  51. R.... G....

    To be honest, this right here is my favorite Sodom album. They're an amazing band with a lot of awesome albums, but this one right here just does wonders for me. You can tell this is an album that foreshadows even more aggressive metal genres to come, like black and death metal.

  52. A.... F....

    DISCO DE BOSTA!

    A.... F....

    baita viadão

    A.... F....

    Viadão tu és

  53. K.... ....

    At 2:53 they play the same verse riff from 2:05 but in a faster timing and it just sounds so wonderful

  54. R.... R....

    Tom, Michael, and Chris are still my personal favorite Sodom lineup! \m/
    R.I.P. Michael Destructor (1963-1993)
    R.I.P. Chris Witchhunter (1965-2008)

    R.... R....

    they died?

    R.... R....

    Sadly, Yes

    https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Chris_Witchhunter/5060

    R.... R....

    sorry for the late reply i totaly forgot to reply. fuck man that sucks. so pretty much tom is the only one left at this point.

  55. W.... ....

    My favorite Sodom album, absolutly masterpiece

  56. B.... J....

    Playing THPS to this maybe I almost broke my keyboard i'm so hyped up FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  57. S.... o....

    35:56 I can hear the Deathcrush...

  58. L.... O....

    This fucker is so raw.

  59. P.... S....

    Mayhem Deathcrush album was infested with it .

    P.... S....

    I was just thinking of the similarities between the two

    P.... S....

    Mayhem !? Nunca ouvi falar...Sarcófago Rules !!!

  60. p.... l....

    CD version sucks big time!This is the shit!!

  61. M.... R....

    Which version of the album is this??

    M.... R....

    The good one.

    M.... R....

    debgibsonfan They're both good, so that doesn't say much.

    M.... R....

    This is the original version before the production was raped for the US release. (better description?)

    M.... R....

    debgibsonfan Yes sir. The U.S release was the one they released under metal blade records?

  62. D.... D....

    Sarcófago´s I.N.R.I. = Obsessed by cruelty worship , All posers run terrified of these albums , I wonder why ....

    D.... D....

    I don't hear similarities, but Sodom definitely was a huge influence.

    D.... D....

    HUGE influence but it's hardly worship, Sarcofago use blast-beats and they have stronger scandibeat influences, by bands such as Crude SS and the likes.
    Both classics, of course!

    D.... D....

    Sarcófago's I.N.R.I is basicaly obsessed with cruelty with blast beats.

    D.... D....

    You got it right. Posers. It's too technical for todays wimps. If the production On this album was like recordings today I think people would die from inferiority upon listening. I respect anyone that can understand this for what it is. Thanks for your post.

    D.... D....

    "Rotting" album bleeds with this one for me

  63. C.... U....

    NO OTHER BAND CAN MAKE GUITARS SAY BOW WOW. A LOT OF PEOPLE FIND THIS ALBUM HARD TO LISTEN TO AND FLAWED I ENJOY IT BUT LIKE WEIRD SHIT LIKE CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND PERE UBU. THIS IS BLACK METAL ITS SUPPOSED TO SLIDE AND SLIP ALL OVER A BIG HEARTY HELPING O 80S METAL GOODNESS

  66. C.... M....

    Classic, seminal gem.

  67. D.... D....

    sounds like bathory blood fire death album. Brutal

  68. R.... Q....

    Such an amazing amazing mix between Venom, Bathory, and pure German darkness. Great album.

  69. G.... ....

    Call 666HIM Sathanas

  70. d.... ....

    Huge Celtic Frost influence right here 16:44

  71. C.... T....

    Aura Noir's the one who smites same riff from Proselytism Real

  72. D.... P....

    It sounds like this album crawled out of hell itself.

  73. e.... e....

    as much as i love Sodom this album sounds like it's been recorded in an empty beer can.

    e.... e....

    And that makes it sound awesome

  74. F.... R....

    ja tive essa bostta joguei no lixo

    F.... R....

    F.... ....

    Poser. The only true metal band is nickelback

    F.... ....

    danb pfft Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber are metal asf.

  80. T.... X....

    Scored a sealed copy of the Metal Blade pressing. Recorded with my Technics turntable & Sound Blaster X-fi sound card at 24bit, 96kHz as .Wav files. Then burned onto a MAM Dvd-R Gold at 8x. Playback as Dvd-audio files, uncompressed on Oppo Blu-ray 103. Lots of details & realism with strong analog authentic sound.
    *LESSON: never judge an album by it's CD or Digital/MP3 version! Always seek out an early vinyl pressing for best, most accurate sound. That is all...
    - TheBrodWarrior

    T.... X....

    as much as the dirty, raw sound completes this record I'd love to hear really clean versions of the songs like you have, be cool to hear the riffs more clearly

  81. E.... E....

    One of the best albums of all time!!! \m/

  82. G.... S....

    funny how this intro is basically black metal

  83. N.... ....

    Excellent smitters ......

  84. W.... V....

    Para mi es la version mas chimba, suena mas duro y es mas rapida

  85. F.... C....

    The best album.

  86. N.... ....

    sodom is so blisteringly fast. like, slayers fast, but sodom is just insane, especially this album.

    N.... ....

    I tried learning the tabs to some of the songs on this album. fuckin crazy fast haha

    N.... ....

    No Doubt.

  87. L.... ....

    This album is more fucking evil than seven churches. Fuckin gbite me

    L.... ....

    Wrong but nice try. Both are good

  88. E.... E....

    This version has a better guitar sound, while the Metal Blade version has better drums

    E.... E....

    I hope someone combines the two and remixes everything. This album would really benefit from it

    E.... E....

    It's perfect the way it is. I have the Steamhammer version on vinyl. Fuck reissues.

  89. G.... L....

    the slut by EXPULSER

  90. c.... c....

    BLACK METAL from the finest first art

  91. P.... ....

    Frickin' kick ass metal \m/

  92. Y.... ....

    Very good album with lots of catchy and memorable hooks. That album cover made me to buy it back in the day ;)

  93. T.... C....

    impressionante

  94. I.... G....

    as Sodom stepped towards the more-so thrash metal genre, their earlier albums (like this one) became more apparent on my playlists. I wish they could make another album in honor of their earlier primitive sound

    I.... G....

    Angelripper left Berne and Makka and got back together with Blackfire and musicians he grew up with, so hopefully that might happen

    I.... G....

    Late reply and you might know about this but they made The Final Sign of Evil, the album that was supposed to be the full album that became In the Sign of Evil. With the line up of the original too. Witchhunter was deep into alcoholism at the time so the tempo fluctuates quite a bit - just like the EP.

  95. R.... ....

    Can anyone tell me if it's hard to find this on vinyl?

    R.... ....

    This year's reissue:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/SODOM-OBSESSED-BY-CRUELTY-30TH-ANNIVERSARY-EDITION-VINYL-LP-NEW-/391623351253?hash=item5b2e921bd5:g:8R4AAOSwcUBYKjUD

    By the way: This Album (German version) only is available on Vinyl and Cassette. The US Version, though, can be found on CD together with "In The Sign Of Evil".

    R.... ....

    So I am not able to find this on CD?

  96. R.... P....

    yeah true oldschool music

  97. D.... ....

    Can't avoit thinking that today all-so-precise and tight way of recording and producing metal albums take away the "cruelty" from the music. Even Sodom have never been this evil again.

    D.... ....

    DoomRoomRecords 80s instruments with bad production > shit modern instruments with good production.

    D.... ....

    U r right man !!! Today all the bands have the same sound

    D.... ....

    Though I appreciate Lo-Fi, I think Hi-Fi can also be "cruel". Personally, I think Sodom has _actually_ gotten eviler. If done right, Hi-Fi can be great. It's a matter of preference, and I can appreciate both. Though you could say Sodom will never be _crueller_ than on this record, because "cruel" is in the album name.

    D.... ....

    The only problem is the guitars are two weak

    D.... ....

    @George Jackson to be fair, he isn't on an album by an NSBM band crying about racism.
