To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Sodom. The subject matter is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of metal and war most of the messages will go over a typical listener's head. There's also the militaristic theme of the band, which is deftly woven into the band's image - their personal philosophy draws heavily from war and metal literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these messagers, to realize that they're not just straightfoward- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Sodom truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Tom Angelripper's song "Blasphemer," which itself is a cryptic reference to Norwegian black metal I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Tom Angelripper's genius unfolds itself on their record players. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Knarrenheinz tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
