Sodom - '1982 (Remix)' (official music video)

They wanted to convert us
But their blind delusion wasn't black enough
We were locked up but escaped
And seed of hate has fallen on a fertile ground

We were despised but always feared
And we never licked your boots

When the dark comes falling from the thundering sky
Released heroic devils from deep inside
There was no other purpose for me and you

In 1982
In 1982

We've always left what matters
Just greasy blood that slipped through our hands
The enemy's remains in filthy streets
No pity grows in the shades of black

The law of the road in dark ravines
With an evil smile on our faces

When the dark comes falling from the thundering sky
Released heroic devils from deep inside
There was no other purpose for me and you

In 1982
In 1982

We've sworn immortal loyalty
To all what Satan spawned
Breaking through the barrier
Between the night and dawn

The chaos that you`ll find too late
Your church that we contempt
The loud demise out of control
To bring it to an end

Disordered by infested blood
Dethroned without disgrace
The leadership by godless gods
At least the worms awaits

So bury us, but side by side
And you will realized
We'll meet a few of you in hell
The earthly death we just survive

Σαράντα χρόνια "ύπαρξης" και παρουσίας στα μουσικά δρώμενα συμπλήρωσαν πέρυσι οι Sodom, οι οποίοι σχηματίσθηκαν το μακρινό 1982. Η Γερμανική μπάντα το γιόρτασε με την κυκλοφορία του τραγουδιού "1982" (συν τον δίσκο "40 Years at War - The Greatest Hell of Sodom").

Πλέον μας παρουσιάζει μία νέα εκδοχή (remix) του τραγουδιού, το οποίο "βαφτίζει" και το ep που θα κυκλοφορήσει τον Νοέμβριο, με το ενημερωτικό δελτίο τύπου της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Steamhammer να μας δίνει τις λεπτομέρειες:

«Flashback to spring 1982, Essen, Stauderstraße in the Altenessen district, a small musty rehearsal room in an industrial wasteland area.

Three long-haired hopefuls have tuned their instruments and are hard at work, recording their first demo tape at top volume.

That’s 41 years ago, but the influence of that formative era still affects the present, which is why Tom and Sodom wrote the track ‘1982’, recalling the band’s first steps both musically and lyrically.

Now, ‘1982’ as well as re-recordings of their early songs ‘Witching Metal’, ‘Victims Of The Death’, ‘Let’s Fight In The Darkness Of Hell’ and ‘Equinox’ have been immortalised on vinyl and CD for everyone for the first time.»
