There are two artists with this name. 1) Sodom is a German thrash metal band formed in Gelsenkirchen, Germany in 1981. Along with the bands Kreator and Destruction, Sodom is considered one of the "big three" of Teutonic thrash metal. While the other two bands created a sound that would influence death metal, Sodom's music style would greatly influence many late-1980s and early-1990s black metal bands, among others.
