Rating: «M-16: assault rifle of great reliability belonging to the family of light weapons, capable of piercing various armored vehicles. Introduced by the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, it possesses an almost perfect ergonomics: transportation in battle is facilitated thanks to good balance and decent lightness. Extremely precise, it allows engagements at distances well beyond the required 300 meters.»
With this premise, I absolutely do not want to urge you to buy this “gentleman's rifle” (we already have enough of the various kamikazes!), but I just want to make you understand on what martial bases this monstrous album comes to life. M-16 is based on the abstractions of the Vietnam War, resulting in a mixture of thrash sounds and death vocals!
Latest among the disc releases (soon they will return to record, if they haven't already done so), this album presents itself as a true sonic massacre, ready to induce anyone into a mad headbanging. The album was released in 2001 by the usual record label Steamhammer and marks the return of the German tank to the optimal levels of “Agent Orange.” It is not a masterpiece like the aforementioned album (there we were in '89), but it is certainly a great album that rocks properly! It knows no pause and moves fast as an f-12 and powerful as a battleship! With “m-16,” you always travel full throttle and never stop banging your head!
The trio, led by the leading figure Tom Angelripper, knows how to realize true thrash metal, capable of making anyone's veins boil. They neglect nothing, starting with the lyrics that for a superficial listener might seem warmongering. And this is absolutely wrong. Sodom seeks to express a message opposite to that of war, even though they approach current themes with much sarcasm and roughness.
The ruthless sounds fill the entire album, seen as a crossroads between death and thrash. Among the fragments of impiety that invade the album, I highlight “Among The Weirdcong,” “I Am The War” merely devastating, and “Napalm In The Morning.” The cover “Surfin Bird” is laugh-out-loud funny, which many of you will surely remember from a famous commercial that ran on TV a few years ago, advertising a scooter (if I write the brand, they'll bash me).
A nice return of thrash metal, in short, which sweeps away a bit of the crap that nowadays invades the metal market.

03 Napalm in the Morning (05:56)
decease is just an irony of fate
multiple rites i'm gonna lose my way
paraphilliac body control
to slay the phantom from my soul
...you're gonna die !
unholy evil prophets rise
fire is raining from the endless skies
can you hear the final thunder roaring
napalm in the morning
skin peeling off to drop your timid mask
you wish that death redeems you fast
creation of the fire seems the perfect nude
your carbonized torso just a part of you
...you're gonna die !
unholy evil prophets rise
fire is raining from the endless skies
can you hear the final thunder roaring
napalm in the morning
charlie close to me
smell of gasoline
physically abused
see the hollow face
that burned down and raped
your petition refused
screaming for your life
suffocation cries
religions been lost
dancing in the flames
that's your destiny
surrendered to the gods
unholy evil prophets rise
fire is raining from the endless skies
can you hear the final thunder roaring
napalm in the morning
...you're gonna die !
unholy evil prophets rise
fire is raining from the endless skies
can you hear the final thunder roaring
napalm in the morning
time bomb warrior
flancked all around
fighting back their lies
you are my soul insane
blood stops feeding veins
god damn monkey's bite
ashes dung the ground
infuriate mauled
recrudescence of wounds
there's no time to waste
smash'em without grace
hell is coming to you
04 Minejumper (03:11)
you know there is a reason
why you never shouldn't trust
as their fury got released
undertaking blast
jumping on a mine
can't find refuge
your reign can now begin
ignoring your triumph
summon up the dead
tormening nightmares
revealed my darkest fear
dancing with the devil
see the staring eyes of rage
violence is just a friend
walking on the right way
jumping on a mine
jumping on a mine
can't find refuge
your reign can now begin
ignoring your triumph
summon up the dead
tormening nightmares
revealed my darkest fear
shellshock shades of darkness
valiant demise
i see my rent remains
'cause my cerebrations still alive
jumping on a mine
jumping on a mine
can't find refuge
your reign can now begin
ignoring your triumph
summon up the dead
tormening nightmares
revealed my darkest fear
06 Little Boy (04:08)
Mother's little freckled boy,
His father's pride,
A little beauty sweet beloved,
The sunshine of their lives.
There's something in the air tonight,
Little Boy,
Send greetings to the other side,
Little boy.
Resting by your teddy's side,
Sleeping without guilt,
With magic in your mind inside,
No war inside your dreams.
Gonna see the life below,
Little boy,
Dead means when you touch the ground,
Little boy,
No God will pray the world to leave,
Little Boy,
'Cause God himself the one who did.
The truth with dirt, in it's face,
With bubble in his hair,
Innocence of babyhood,
Never really care.
I let you go, leave me alone,
Little boy,
My work is done now it's your turn,
Little boy,
I can't look back just say goodbye,
Little boy,
Appeared to me, so shinning bright,
Little boy.
How many ears need a man,
to hear the people cry?
How many times a man must look,
Before he see the sky?
How many years a mountain need,
Before it washed to the sea?
How many times some people need,
To get allowed to live?
07 M-16 (04:49)
the awe of love pulled out of the roots
just rolling thunder we found
pregnant with the tears of shame
but never let'em out
we shoot'em down
we shoot'em down
we shoot'em down
free fire zone with my m-16
vendetta burns inside
wiped out their lives for eyes unseen
mercy chilled to the freezing point
to the war
blind religion,clouded minds
called by the name of war
223 body penetration
before you hit the ground
we shoot'em down
we shoot'em down
we shoot'em down
free fire zone with my m-16
vendetta burns inside
wiped out their lives for eyes unseen
mercy chilled to the freezing point
free fire zone with my m-16
vendetta burns inside
wiped out their lives for eyes unseen
mercy chilled to the freezing point
to the war
you are imploring to my aid
machine gun fire scorn
life corroded from inside
remains in silent force
we shoot'em down
we shoot'em down
we shoot'em down
free fire zone with my m-16
vendetta burns inside
wiped out their lives for eyes unseen
mercy chilled to the freezing point
free fire zone with my m-16
vendetta burns inside
wiped out their lives for eyes unseen
mercy chilled to the freezing point
free fire zone with my m-16
free fire zone with my m-16
mercy chilled to the freezing point
to the war...
08 Lead Injection (06:24)
firepower in the hand of a madman
hell is gonna burn
cushing'em down,pounding away
at the point of no return
painful screams growing near
metal cutting your breast
laughing when you lose control
pollution guarantee
creping and crawling why do you cry?
pathetically prayers by your side
caught beneath my blood erection
lead injection
assault attack,the rifle's blast
you are my soul insane
a product of a brutal world
killing just a game
hatred burns with desolation
pleasure for the blood
this must be the dead man's day
the truth in crimson mud
creeping and crawing why do you cry?
pathetically prayers by your side
caught beneath my blood erection
lead injection
creeping and crawing why do you cry?
pathetically prayers by your side
caught beneath my blood erection
lead injection
swinging the judgement's hammer down
glory 'til the end
now you wish you had a god
now evil in your brain
bullets left the gun straight ahead
awaiting your cancerous breath
will touch you when you're still alive
and left you when you're dead
creeping and crawing why do you cry?
pathetically prayers by your side
caught beneath my blood erection
lead injection
creeping and crawing why do you cry?
pathetically prayers by your side
caught beneath my blood erection
lead injection
11 Surfin' Bird (02:39)
Well everybody's heard about the bird
Bird bird bird
Bird is the word
Don't you know about the bird
Well everybody knows that the bird is a word
Bird bird bird bird is a word
