If the name SODOM means anything to you, then so will the name of their frontman, Tom Angelripper. In the mid-90's, he formed his own sideband, named ONKEL TOM, with the intention of creating Thrash Metal covers of German schlager songs; that has to be the coolest-sounding side-project we can think of. The last album released by the band, "H.E.L.D.", was the first to feature an entire tracklist of originals. Our Zakk Belkin sat down to have a quick chat with Tom about the band's history and their lyrical inspirations.
