Review by Ded Bolt for Sodom - Persecution Mania (1987)

Looking back, I'm still amazed at the complete 180° turn this band made in just a single year's time. Obviously, Frank Godzik gets much of the credit but it must be noted just how focused and capable Tom and Chris are here as well. This was my introduction to this gritty teutonic band and though it's not their best work, it's still overall pretty solid. "Nuclear Winter" and "Conjuration" are personal highlights.
