SODOM are preparing for the release of their new album Epitome of Torture May 7th in North America. The new album will be available worldwide through SPV/Steamhammer in four different formats: as a limited-edition DigiPak including two bonus tracks and a poster, in a regular jewel case, as a double gatefold colored vinyl with three bonus tracks and for download. The cover artwork featuring Sodom's popular "Knarrenheinz" logo was developed by graphic designer Meran Karanitant, who has caused a stir with his work for Six Feet Under, Hatebreed and Dimmu Borgir, among others.

Today NPR is hosting an exclusive premiere of a new song from Epitome of Torture. Get a first listen to the song "Stigmatized" HERE.

Epitome of Torture can be pre-ordered on Amazon on CD and LP and as a digital download on iTunes.

Epitome Of Torture was produced by Waldemar Sorychta, whose expertise as a sound engineer and audio magician thoroughly benefitted Sodom's 2010 release In War And Pieces. Tom Angelripper: "Waldemar is an exceptional producer, who always succeeds in evening out an artist´s weak spot and promoting his strengths. He doesn't let you get away with anything, he knows all our weak spots. Which occasionally makes working at the studio a little demanding, but at the end of the day it's all worthwhile, as the result shows." The SODOM frontman describes the sound on Epitome Of Torture as "hard-as-nails and contemporary, without ignoring our tried-and-tested old-school attitude."

A trailer for Epitome of Torture can be viewed HERE.

A video clip for the new song "Stigmatized" in support of Epitome Of Torture together with director Ronald Matthes and the ROAX Team (Sodom: Lords of Depravity Vol 1+2, Volbeat, The BossHoss, W:O:A - to name but a few), was shot recently in Berlin. "SODOM haven't had an official video clip for some time, so it's about time we did one," Tom Angelripper confesses. "That's why the mini film will be uncompromising, a shocking clip which our fans can look forward to!"
