Sodom (Ger) - Obsessed By Cruelty [Steamhammer] (1986)

I'm sure everyone knows about the problem surrounding the release of this album and how there are two different recordings out there.  If not, go look it up, its everywhere on the internet and I can't be bothered typing out what hundreds already have.

Anyway, this is the European Steamhammer recording which is meant to be the "better", less shit version which was recorded after the first was scrapped.  I don't like it as much, it sounds too clean.  Thats not to say it has super sterile modern day production, but for what this is and compared to the original recording found on Metal Blade pressings, this is boring.  It sounds about as threatening as a wet cardboard box in comparison.  Only upside is that this version actually does have the track After The Deluge which is missing from the US pressing.
