SODOM mainman Tom Angelripper has issued the following update:

"The current economic problems have overtaken and finally reached the music business too. Also, the labels have to suffered and in our case this applies to the label SPV. This is also applied to the artists when it comes to the well planned releases which had to be deferred. But now SVP is newly built up and ready for action. They are currently concentrating on the remainder of the bands like us. Therefore there will be no barrier. Finally, we have to file here and there in the studio to our and your satisfaction. There has never been a Sodom album which is so wide ranged, as powerful and as typically Sodom as this one. At the moment we are searching for a new studio which is able to fulfill our ideas of a high quality production. We will start the recording in summer so as to we are able to release the album in fall or pre-Christmas trade. At this point I’d like to thank you for your patience one more time."

Angelripper recently issued the following update regarding the band's forthcoming DVD, Lords Of Depravity Part 2:

"The time has come. After we’ve checked our vast stuff we’ve collected over the last 15 years we are currently editing the DVD which will obviously be finished till the next month. The whole creation will offer you over five hours only of Sodom's finest. You had to wait for this DVD long enough but guys your patience will be recompensed. Refer to our producer Ronald Matthes it would be the most extensive music project he has ever accompanied and accomplished. At the moment I’m not affected to talk about an optionally release date but the DVD will be available in stores this summer and punctually before the festival season starts, for sure."
