Sounds Of Death

What's That Noise...?

Sounds Of Death

The first S.O.D. album 'Speak English Or Die' was released in 1985. It took only 3 days to record it. When the album came out, they did 7 shows. The third one was in Trenton, New York. The bootleg 'Pussywhipped' was recorded there on october 6th, 1985. They played 4 previously unreleased songs along with other stuff from the first record. The sound quality isn't very good, but that bootleg is very special to me.
Seven years later, they played a show at the Ritz (march 21st, 1992). The record of that show 'Live At Budokan' was released that same year. They played some classic S.O.D. material and 3 new tracks, as well as an M.O.D. song and some covers from Fear, Ministry and Nirvana. The sound of that live recording is very good.
Another seven years later, S.O.D. released their second studio album 'Bigger Than The Devil'. There are 2 songs from the old days on that album: 'Aren't You Hungry' (also recorded - with different music - by M.O.D.) and 'Kill The Assholes'. The rest was brand new material. I think it's not as good as their debut, but it's still S.O.D.
To celebrate the fact that the first album sold 1,000,000 times, Megaforce re-released it in 2000 with 10 bonustracks. 'Speak English Or Die - The Platinum Edition' contains 2 new studiotracks and 8 live tracks that were recorded in Tokyo in '99.
That same year 'Bigger Than The Devil' got a little bigger. It now contained the 3" bonus single 'Seasoning The Obese'. A killer track where Slayer meets S.O.D.
The other track 'Raise Your Sword' is a 'tribute' to Manowar.
I prefer the song 'Seasoning The Obese'.
I have all these albums myself and you can see them below.

S.O.D. contributed a track for the album 'Tribute to the Scorpions'. They recorded 'Rock you like a Hurricane' in a very special way. (Time: 19 seconds).

It is very surprising!
