Former SODOM drummer Chris “Witchhunter” Dudek died on September 8, 2008 due to vital organ failure.

SODOM in 2010 announced the addition of drummer Markus “Makka” Freiwald to the group’s ranks.

Freiwald previously played for the German bands DESPAIR and FLAMING ANGER and was involved with the VOODOOCULT project. In addition, he played percussion as a session musician on the MOONSPELL album “Irreligious” and is featured on the 1996 LP “Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers” by Greek extreme metallers ROTTING CHRIST.

SODOM in November 2010 parted ways with drummer Bobby Schottkowski due to “personal and private problems between Tom [bassist/vocalist Thomas ‘Angelripper’ Such] and Bobby,” according to a statement released by the band.

SODOM’s latest album, “In War And Pieces”, entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 64. The CD was released in North America on January 11, 2011 via SPV/Steamhammer.
