Album
’Til Death Do Us Unite
’Til Death Do Us Unite is the eighth studio album by the German thrash metal band Sodom, released in February 1997. It follows Masquerade in Blood from 1995 and arrived before Code Red in 1999, placing it in the middle of the band's run through the late 1990s.
The record marks a change in the line-up, as it is the first Sodom album to feature guitarist Bernermann and drummer Bobby Schottkowski. That alone makes it a useful marker for anyone following how the band evolved after its earlier years. A video was made for "Fuck the Police", the track to start with if you want a quick sense of the album's attitude.
