Notes

Recorded at Studio Hilpoltstein.

Manufactured in West-Germany

Inner sleeve with lyrics, photography & credits.

This is the second recording of this album. The original Metal Blade recording ended up on the "In The Sign Of Evil / Obsessed By Cruelty" CD by mistake, which also includes the Steamhammer version track listing, which is incorrect.

Runouts are etched.

    This version of the album is the best! It is so dark, heavy, and flat out evil sounding! Such a special Sodom album. I was lucky to find a good copy for a decent price all things considering!

      There are at least two different Steamhammer pressings in existence. I own one copy on regular vinyl and another copy on one of those light, thin and wobbly discs. (Dynaflex?) Other than that both copies are identical. It would be interesting to know which one came out first.

        I bought a used copy of this one, record is flawless, but all images of band member on the back sleeve had been torn out, same for the printed insert sleeve. If anyone has an extra jacket and/or inner sleeve, I'd be happy to buy them from you.

          What version is featured on this cd? It states After the Deluge so I'm guessing if it is correct, then it must be the later version. Sounds like this album was quite a mess with what was released, and on what versions.
