The first interview of 2025 is with none other than Andy Brings. The occasion is, of course, last year's reissue of Sodom's classic thrash metal masterpiece "Tapping the Vein", originally released in 1992. Andy revealed some very interesting details from that era, including all the hard work that went into making the reissues, and at the end of the interview he mentioned some very exciting news that I think will be welcomed by all Sodom fans worldwide. Now scroll down and enjoy our conversation!!!

Time is a thing we must accept.
The unexpected I sometimes fear.
Just when I feel there's no
excuse for what happens,
things fall into place.
I know there is no way to
avoid the pain that we must
go through, to find the other
half that is true.
Destiny is what we all seek.
Destiny was waiting for you and me.
I believe behind confusion,
awaits the truth for us.
Past the obstacles we face.
I value our life and trust.
Years of questioning why
things happen the way they do in life.
Wishing that I could turn back
time, so we could join our souls.
