{"product_id":"sodom-tapping-the-vein-cd-1992","title":"SODOM Tapping The Vein CD (1992)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy 1992, Sodom had already spent a decade proving that German thrash metal didn't need to be polished to be powerful. It needed to be a blunt instrument, and \u003cem\u003eTapping The Vein\u003c\/em\u003e is exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the Gelsenkirchen trio at peak aggression, sitting somewhere between the raw blackened speed of \u003cem\u003eObsessed by Cruelty\u003c\/em\u003e and the more battle-hardened tank metal they'd lean into later. Tom Angelripper's vocals sit like gravel in a cement mixer, the riffs are tight and mean, and the whole record has that early-90s Teutonic thrash production that still hits harder than most modern metal. A foundational piece for anyone serious about the dark aesthetic of extreme metal, and a record that holds its own against anything Kreator or Destruction were doing at the same time. Original 1992 press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD, full length album, German pressing. Fans of: Kreator, Destruction, Venom, Dark Angel, Nuclear Assault, Onslaught, Exodus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALT CVLT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45549754810559,"sku":"4001617765425","price":24.66,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/3633\/0175\/files\/original_5afffe68-aaae-4cfc-af28-7a429dab1066.jpg?v=1777060245","url":"https:\/\/www.alt-cvlt.com.au\/products\/sodom-tapping-the-vein-cd-1992","provider":"ALT CVLT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
