Welcome to this S.O.D. fanpage. I launched this site somewhere in January 2001 and it has already been visited over 6000 times! You can find here: a story about how S.O.D. started, a complete discography, links to other S.O.D. pages, reviews of S.O.D. and M.O.D., pictures, special recordings and some recent information about M.O.D. by Billy Milano himself. Check out the short interview I had with him.
Take a look around and ENJOY!
HOW IT ALL STARTED
It was spring of 1985 and Anthrax were in the studio recording their second studio album 'Spreading The Disease'. Scott Ian was done with all of his guitar tracks and he had a lot of free time on his hands. He started drawing some comics. He invented a guy, a living skeleton that smokes cigars, hates everyone and everything, with an insane sense of wrong and right, who was called 'Sgt. D'. Then he started writing slogans like 'Speak English or Die' and turned them into songs. Scott took a break after he had written ten songs or so. Then he called up Dan Lilker (who played bass on the first Anthrax-record). He asked him if he wanted to be on a hardcore project he was planning. He also asked Billy Milano (who he met in CBGB's in New York) if he wanted to sing on this project, which was going to record a record. After that he played the songs he had written for Charlie Benante (drummer of Anthrax), Dan and Billy. S.O.D was born. They wrote the rest of the album 'Speak English Or Die' together, rehearsed it the day before they were going to start recording, and made the record in three days. Two days recording, July 2nd & 3rd, one day mixing, July 6th. Then the album was ready. There were 21 songs on it. From the very first moment I heard that record, I was very impressed. It was funny, it was heavy and it was fast. I am a big fan ever since.
On this site you can find every album I have since the release of 'Speak English Or Die', including a bootleg of the third show S.O.D. did (Trenton, New York, october 6th, 1985) and their latest release: 'Seasoning The Obese' (a Slayersong written by S.O.D.). Personally I think that 'Seasoning The Obese' is one of the best songs S.O.D. have ever written. It's one of my favorites!
I hope you enjoy this fanpage.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!!!
M.O.D. - 'Method Of Destruction' or 'Milano's on Drugs', is Billy Milano's other project. It has been very quiet the last couple of years, but a few months ago M.O.D. has been touring again. Their North American Tour started August 1st, 2001. M.O.D. did 17 shows.
In an interview I added October 18th 2001, Billy tells that the tour was cancelled after 17 shows because of a bad bus problem. He also tells us that M.O.D. is going to rebook the tour and will finish up the markets they missed. M.O.D. is going to tour again as soon as the record comes out, probably May 2002. The title of the next album will be: 'The Rebel You Love To Hate'.

M.O.D. STUDIO REPORT
Former ANTHRAX guitarist Paul Crook has finished recording the basic tracks (drums, bass, guitar) for M.O.D. (Milano's On Drugs)'s brand new CD, which he's co-producing with ex-NUCLEAR ASSAULT bassist Scott Metaxas. According to Crook, this record is sounding incredibly huge at the moment...
