NEW SOD E.P.

[pflinger]

Megaforce Records and metal/hardcore pioneers S.O.D. will release "Rise of the Infidels" on August 21, 2007. It is an extended EP (perhaps the longest in the music biz) with four unreleased S.O.D. songs, plus a live concert from Seattle is included.

One of the crucial bands in the musical chain linking hardcore punk with metal, the STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH — known as S.O.D. — were actually intended to be a one-off side project, done as a lark.

S.O.D. began in the mid-1980s during a break in the recording of ANTHRAX's "Spreading the Disease". What started out as a quick, satirical release for Scott Ian, Charlie Benante, Dan Lilker, and the infamous Billy Milano, S.O.D. has turned into a seminal band influencing countless hardcore, metalcore, and post-hardcore bands. Their first album, "Speak English or Die", has sold over 400,000 copies and remains an underground classic.

S.O.D. was always about brutal satire, but done with complete honesty. Anyone who has witnessed their severe, yet astonishing live show, knows that S.O.D. is like no other band on the planet.

extended extended play
I doubt the total track time could be very long at all with all those ballads.

I hope it draws more people to Red White and SCREWED!

 

[Doctor X]

when were the four unreleased tracks recorded?

 

[schenkadere]

Well that's rather odd. Billy never mentioned a thing about it.

 

[Hawng]

You would probley have to ask Scott, I heard they need money to pay Corey Taylor to sing on their mediocre new album.

 

[prime666]

I'll give it a shot. Could be cool.

 

[tamponsqueezer]

I'll buy that. No matter what. Sounds cool enough to me. And yeah next thing will be the new M.O.D.!!!!

I hope this doesn't turn out to be another screw job for Billy. I'll see him tomorrow night and ask him about it.
