American crossover/thrash band formed around 1985 featuring Scott Ian, Charlie Benante, Danny Lilker and Billy Milano; known for the influential album Speak English or Die and for provocative, humorous lyrics.

Formed in 1985; core members include Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Danny/Dan Lilker (bass) and Billy Milano (vocals). Debut album Speak English or Die released in 1985; Live at Budokan (live release, recorded at the Ritz, released 1992) documented the band's live performances.

DeBaser hosts two reviews of S.O.D.: one praising Speak English or Die as influential in crossover/thrash and hardcore; another enjoying the absurd, politically incorrect live mania captured on Live at Budokan. Both highlight the band's members (Milano, Ian, Benante, Lilker) and the record's provocative humor.

For:Fans of crossover thrash, hardcore punk and thrash metal; readers interested in 1980s extreme music history.

 'March of the S.O.D.' was shaking the ears of the neighbors, but no one had the strength to get up to turn down the volume or, at most, put on the beloved Cecchetto compilation.
