German thrashers Sodom have released a video, created by former guitarist Andy Brings, for their latest single, “Witchhunter.” The track is an homage to their late drummer Chris Witchunter and is the second single taken from their upcoming album, The Arsonist, scheduled to arrive on June 27 via SPV/Steamhammer.
Recorded using a 24-track analog tape machine for a raw and authentic sound, The Arsonist features all current members contributing to the songwriting: Tom Angelripper, Frank Blackfire, York Segatz, and Toni Merkel.
Frontman Tom Angelripper comments:
“No plastic! The difference in sound compared to today’s standard drum productions is amazing and has had a positive effect on all the instruments. Naturally, time and effort as well as costs were also higher, but we’re happy to fork out for a superior result.
Frank contributed those typical Sodom riffs and hooks again, whereas York favors more epic songwriting. As a perfect complement to both of them, Toni, who is also an excellent guitarist, contributed a number of songs and helped to make the album even more versatile.”
