Many people only read shit in internet about was happen betwen Euro and that cunt and saids: euro try to kill varg so he kill him first...morons,search the truth about all and you will see who is who!
@ih8makinusernames Yeah man, this is black metal, but the other version is much blacker, I suggest you check that out, look for the intro called The Rebirth, and the rest will follow. This version here is the first recording. They rerecorded it, much better, and that was the first pressing. But somehow, by mistake, the first recording ended up on the US pressing, and since then it has, by further mistakes, been the most available. Second pressing aka first release, much better (and blacker).
There are two versions of this LP, two different recordings actually. This is not the best one. You have to get the original Steamhammer release (not the Steamhammer-released CD In The Sign Of Evil/Obsessed By Cruelty, but the original vinyl), that sounds ten times more evil, and better! Easy way to check: If the intro/first track starts with drums and guitar you have the right version, if it starts with organ you have the "wrong" version.
@cometothesabbat despite the fact that the steamhammer LP sounds better overall, i much prefer the organ intro from this version, the intro on the other version feels kind of pointless
@blackstonewielder19 Pointless? Both intros are good. But I agree about the rest of the album. But damn, I like the Rebirth intro, it's just one of the coolest intros I've heard, like perfect, though I do appreciate a fair share of psychedelic noise music, so maybe I'm biased:p
Euronymous was a madman. If you read the things he said about the Stalinist dictatorship and the Berlin wall, you can tell. Even Wagner Lamounier from Sarcofago, who for some time was corresponding with him, said that he was a nutcase.
Ok men.. I would like to see any of you desecrating the corpse of a member of your band. "Oh yeah, he´s already dead, there´s no problem if i take some pictures for my band". You see that album like a tribute to Dead. I see it like Euronymus was in the perfect moment for his album picture. I don´t care if Varg killed him, even do, i´m glad. Black Metal is pretty good, but that stuff about having no respect for your friends is completely insane. Fuck all who think that desecrating corpses is ok
@Rattleheadddddd taking a picture of that corpse was something most Black metallers can't achieve that right there is fucking Bm, no one can be that evil. He wanted to be extreme.
@Rattleheadddddd The members of Mayhem weren't friends with one another, especially not Dead. He was very detached from the other members (and pretty much everyone).
@TheEddyMetal well, following his life style and not being friends, i see more normal to "play" with the corpse of a member of his band. thanks man for the information
I have this CD myself and I don't like it. The original versions on the LP are totally different than this CD versions. Much better. This sounds like shitty demo recordings.
@IKilledTheSunrise : yes. Euronymous died, but before he did, he made his own record label called Deathlike Silence after this song. Then he and Mayhem recorded their first studio album De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas sometime in the early 90s before that nazi-pagan Varg Vikernes killed him. I don't like Varg, btw, he sucks for killing an awesome guitarist/black metal musician for no good reason!
@IKilledTheSunrise , I still hate him. He's a screwed up person! Even if that rumor about Euronymous doing things to Dead's corpse was true, and even if he was an actual worshiper of Satan/satanist, I still respect him more than Varg!
@MetalAttack198 I think that Euro confessed that he did in an Interview, and well I am not sure if this is true but I read in an article that HellHammer used some of Dead's bones as Drum sticks.
@MetalAttack1986 Lol you need to be educated Euronymous tried to kill Varg but failed to do so, so Varg killed him, you need to read more into it. They are both evil in their own way.
@BeGoodeJohnny If you go on reviews from different websites, many people call this album primative and sloppy. One said the album suffers from an "overabundance of repetition that leaves a feeling of incompleteness to these songs". I Dissagree with what most think, and I think it isnt as bad as many claim. Although I think they got much better later on, obsessed by cruelty isnt bad.
I disagree too, the criticers don't like these very easy riffs, they don't like the disorder that I like the most of this record.But imo this album has the most charme of all sodom records and it's still a great thrash album, but not as good as persectution mania :D
@BeGoodeJohnny Yeah, they say the same thing about works from Minotaur, Protector, and some even bash Endless Pain from Kreator. Srew them. All Teutonic Thrash ist fantastisch!
@im0mole how dare you call me faggot on a Sodom video, boy??! When I sodomized your mother while listening to Volcanic Slut & so proving I'm NOT one!!!
oh indeed, "she teached me perversity, from birth til eternity"...
squeeze your vaginal muscles together & get the fuck outta here!!!
@DomentorTheOnlyTrue i dont have the brain capasity?? coming from the bitch who says boy in every comment like 3 times,the guy who listens to the sodom,and the guy who use's your mom joke and acts tough on youtube...i bet your gona get raped one day,and enjoy it
This is THE best of Sodom. Obsessed By Cruelty is a true masterpiece of SatanicThrash. Nothing will ever compare the sickening darkness this album gives off.
EdmondSkater: this is awesome music from the '80s, nice and original work, and they ain't no idiotic-sounding band like some metal bands now (Bullet 4 my Valentine), so watch what you say about classic metal. Why else are these guys one of the most popular german bands? Cause their music kicks a**, and many would agree, so watch wut u say or else you could become the head on the cover of this album!
@saya9620 Your comment is written 1 month ago, but I will still reply. I agree with you, this band is really awesome, original, fucking THRASH! "Why else are these guys one of the most popular german bands? Cause their music kicks a**" What? So that means Lady Gaga kicks ass because she is popular?
@Doxilon: The answer to that question is NO! Lady Gaga is not popular. Well at least she's not to me. She sucks! I'm trying to say that Sodom became popular because they are talented and awesome, but Lady Gaga shouldn't have become famous nor any of those other dumb, posers and retarded pop bands. Lady Gaga's famous because thousands of people don't know anything better to listen to (like Sodom, or Metallica, Megadeth, Testament, Kreator, Warbringer)
@saya9620 I understood your point, but people listen to Gaga and shit like that not because they don't know those great bands like Sodom or Kreator, but because they don't like this kind of music.:)
sound quality of this song sucks....but the song is fuckin awesome
