Just a short story from the late 90s Teutonic Thrash scene. Destruction were basically nonexistent, Kreator did ok but not much more, Sodom drew around150 people when they played and Tankard gigs sometimes had maybe 50 to 100. In 1999, before Destruction came back and before Kreator got back to Thrash Sodom and Tankard decided to do a small tour together called "F**k The Millenium". All of a sudden the places were packed, I saw that tour in a packed place with around 700 maniacs going wild. In 2001 Sodom, Kreator and Destruction decided to do the "Hell Comes To Your Town" tour and that was the real turning point. From there on all of the four bands did very well on their own. Not to talk about the German festival culture, that is a different story... My final battle would be "M-16" versus "Hordes Of Chaos". Today I´d say Sodom but that might change already tomorrow, hahaha...
The only problem with your short story is … it’s too short lol. You are a true metal encyclopedia, in fact I wish you’d write a book with all your stories, now that would be some good reading! I’m looking forward to our Kreator stream, let’s talk to the boss and pick a date 🤘 Cheers brother
Hi Darcy!!! you have a pretty cool Sodom and Kreator collection and nice to hear eventhough you arrived kind of late to this party it was worth the listening experience and knowing this era of both bands and not get stuck in the classic 80's material. As i have said before i'm very late to the four german thrash bands so i'm really enjoying this type of video and learn more about their catalogue and modern releases..... cheers and be well
I’ve been listening Tankard for most of the day, they are waaaaaaaay better than people give them credit for! Their newer stuff is great, especially the 2 to 3 albums. Always good to hear from you 🤘 Cheers Thomas
Really enjoyed this episode of six with six strings I have most of kreator's catalogue from 2001 onwards barring the most recent it's the other end of the catalogue I'm missing lots only have coma of souls and a couple of compilations need to rectify that! as for Sodom their stuff is so hard to get hold of here in the UK all I have is a 2cd best of and a 2cd live album their catalogue definitely needs a full reissue asap thanks as always darcy you rule!
Yes most of the Sodom material is very hard to get! I think a few of their older albums have been bought up by BMG, so hopefully we see some reissues soon. If I see anything I’ll mention it in a video. Thanks as always 🤘 You rule too :))
Nice one Darcy! I have only 1 modern album from each, and they're pretty good. I have Decision day by Sodom and Gods of violence by Kreator. Definitely need to check out more of their later stuff for both bands, I've been picking up some early Kreator recently. I need to check out some early Sodom as well though. Nice comparisons 🤘🏻🤘🏻
My personal big 4 of thrash is Slayer, Sodom, Kreator, and Metallica. Anyway this is a tough choice since i love both bands. I think ill go with Sodom. They’re alittle more up my alley since im a big death metal guy but even then they only win by a slim margin. M-16 is my favourite Sodom album so that would win in the end. Nothing against enemy of god, its a great album but i just love m-16 too much. Oh and it makes me happy that you love it too! 😌 This is getting kinda long so awesome video and stay heavy heavy!
You really can’t go wrong with any of the 12 albums. I’m just happy the German Big 4 is still putting out new music. Thanks as always 🤘 Have a great week :))
Good to hear your thoughts once again Darcy. Yeah I'd agree and say overall Kreator has the stronger albums, particularly the first two but yeah m-16 and genesis can give them a run for their money.
I'm not really a thrash guy but Sodom & Kreator are by far my favorite of the genre. My picks: M16 > Violent Revolution Enemy of God > Sodom In War and Pieces > Hordes of Chaos Phantom Antichrist > Epitome of Torture Gods of Violence > Decision Day Genesis 9 > Hate Über Alles
Believe it or not I have Sodom M16 and Genesis 19 and nothing in-between! But do finally have all the Kreator albums! Definitely will check out some of those Sodom ones! Awesome stuff Darcy!
I believe you! I think it boils down to availability, many of the Sodom albums are out of print. I’m still missing 6 studio albums & I refuse to buy those bullshit Russian knockoffs. Thanks G 🤘
Nice collection you have there. You have dived into an era of Sodom i don't even know about. I really only know the stuff uo to 1990. I have M-16 which i know a little bit. I blame Steamhammer and the lack of long term availability in the UK. I might have grown more attached otherwise. I liked the newest album but I can't listen to it. The production goes through me so i sold it. That very early first wave black metal style from them is definitely my favourite. By 1987 if im totally honest I can take em or leave em. Kreator are enjoying the same level of popularity as they did in the late 80s these days. I think Millie done well not to throw the towel in. 1993 Newcastle Riverside. 29 people. Imagine how that felt going on stage. That's probably been the same story everywhere at the time. You need to get bidding on that Tapping the Vein 😂
Great stuff Darcy! These battles you do are a lot of fun! Would you ever consider having a battle of the first 5 Testament albums versus the first 5 Overkill albums? I know that would be torture for you since they are your 2 favorite thrash bands but I would love to see you sweat that out 😂. Take care buddy 🤘🏻
Most of the big thrash bands from the 80's have made an amazing comeback as far as quality is concerned since 2000's onwards! Kreator is my favorite since then! Cheers Darcy! You should copyright the term Thrashterpiece!! 😂
Glad to see this notifs while on break! Sodom is definitely my favorite out of the German Tutonic Thrash bands, Agent Orange and M-16 alone are good enough for that! Killer work, excited to see this
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 haha happy to hear that! I cannot get enough of your content mate, look forward to finding a new video to unwind after a long day apmost every night now haha. Hope you've had a good weekend, and a good week coming up!
If they do and I think they will, I don’t think it will happen until after the other four Atlantic albums have been reissued. Maybe a box set with all 6 REMASTERED 🤔
2 bands that I got into because of your channel! Both are great but I wouldn’t be able to give a fair comparison because I only have a few of Sodom’s albums. Maybe one day there will be some reissues🤷♂️
Pretty much everything is available from Kreator. Now Sodom is a different story, it seems anything from SPV/Steamhammer disappears quickly and doesn’t come back 😂 Yes bring on some reissues!
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I do own all of the Kreator albums minus a couple live ones but those early Sodom albums are near impossible to find at a decent price.
Nice video. I like all the albums you covered by these two metal giants but overall the Kreator output narrowly takes it for me. Enemy of God and Phantom from Kreator and Decision Day and Epitome of Torture are my most played from the era you covered. I have rhe same big 4 as you with Death Angel knocking at the door.
Nice stuff and video Darcy! Hard to find these albums here in the netherlands , but i do my best. Agree with those 4 bands, with exodus as a good 5th. Overall i like coma of souls and M16 the most.
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Lol..... Love to watch old kreator docus on you tube. On the special edition cd,s there are dvd,s with: making off the album, amazing to watch. Try to find them all too.
I love both bands, but I'm a bigger fan of Sodom. Sodom peaked in 2000s with their self titled, and Kreator Gods of Violence is my favorite 2000s releases.
Hi Darcy, I love both bands and each of those albums has become a favourite at one time or another down the years. That's the reason i rarely do album rankings, i like watching album ranking videos though to get different perspectives on each album. Your album rankings are some of the best i have seen. Mille..... it's pronounced as Miller.
Very difficult to decide but maybe Kreator 🤘I’m missing a couple of Sodom still My top 4 of thrash as of today 😂 could change tomorrow 😅 Slayer Kreator Testament Sodom
great video! very tuff call haha for me War and Pieces win vs Hordes of Chaos, Epitome of Torture win vs Phantom Antichrist by a bit, then with the others totally agree with you, just with Decision Day and Gods of Violence cant really make a decision xD My Top 4 -Sodom -Kreator -Exodus -Metallica
My favorite big four of thrash Metal are #1 - SLAYER #2 - ANTHRAX #3 - TESTAMENT #4 - KREATOR KREATOR for the win. But I do really like SODOM alot. Very good idea for a video Darcy. You should have more Darcy's Six Strings shoot out videos. 👍 Take care brother 🙂🍻🤘
I’m not the biggest White Lion fan but if I’m being honest that would be a 2/2 split! The overall winner for me would be Great White’s debut, one of my favourite albums of all time!
1st round Sodom 2nd Kreator 3rd Kreatot 4th Kreator 5th Sodom(but tough, both are great. It could change) 6th Sodom I are you going to see Kreator and testament , Possessed in Stoon?
Here we are a bit different. I absolutely love newer Sodom and pretty much have no interesst in Kreators last few Albums With a few exceptions. This is my Choice. M16 > violent Revolution Sodom > Enemy of god (very tight, only because i Like Toms vocals more) In war and… >> hordes of Chaos Phantom Antichrist > Epitome Decision Day >>>>>Gods of violence Genesis 19 >>>>> Hate über alles The last two Kreator i really dont like at all, and Sodoms last two are my Favorite besides m16 since the early 90s. But i must say i pretty Like Antichrist and Enemy of god, but its very close to the Sodom Albums.
The last 2 Sodom albums are awesome, I’m really hoping they release a new album here in 2024. Thanks for watching & sharing your favourites 🤘 Cheers from Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Hope also for a new Album in the near Future, but Not sure if it will Happen in 2024, have not heard any News. Destruction will Release an new Album soon, locking forward to that. Greetings from Germany.
Kreator all the way for me.....been into them since they started.....Sodom were a bit of a joke when they first started, but did improve a lot....but for me, Kreator have the better songs and are more competent musicians
Love both bands, but Kreator has the better riffs where as Sodom stays in their comfort zone. Nothing wrong with that, but Tom openly admits his love for motorhead, and I definitely consider Sodom the thrash version of them. Mille just writes some of my favorite riffs in thrash metal, especially from those first 5 albums. Coma of Souls has my favorite riffs on any thrash album.
@Gregbaltzer yes, he's said his favorite thrash band is slayer. Good job. But motorhead and also venom, are his biggest influences. He started Sodom in 81 after being obsessed with motorhead. Well before Slayer started making waves...
I love both bands, but I think there’s a level of grit and viciousness that Kreator lost when they leaned more into the melodic stuff. Sodom never really lost that. Of course, Sodom has some melodic elements as well, but it just seems a little more raw and dangerous where as Kreator goes for the more melodic anthemic stuff. It’s definitely a way to get the crowd pumping their fists and singing during the live show. Hate Uber Alles starts out with some of the most aggressive material Kreator has done in years, but then levels out. It’s not terrible, but after such a killer opening, it’s kind of a letdown.
I think Kreator wins in this battle but I actually enjoy Sodom more. I don't like the production on modern Kreator albums. It's to polished & the music is to melodic, but I think they are the more consistent band of the two. I love all 80's Sodom & Kreator & I think only Sodom has kept the rawness & brutality of the 80's in their sound. I think Destruction have been more consistent in the last 20 years than Sodom & Kreator. I think Destruction is the most underrated of the German thrash big 4 & I would put Tankard a step down in quality than Kreator, Sodom & Destruction. It would be really interesting to do an 80's album ranking of the German Thrash big 4. There are a ton of quality albums in there. Pretty much all thrash classics. Interesting video Darcy. 🤘 from 🇦🇺 Mate.
I know what you mean in regards to Kreator’s more modern production, I think that’s why I like Genesis XIX so much! The production sounds old school all the way, you could hardly tell it came out in 2020. Thanks as always 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Sodom M16 kicks so much ass. Kreator latest record wasn't the greatest in my opinion, a step down in my opinion. Phantom antichrist though was just a straight kick to the face, what a masterpiece.
Ok I want someone to explain to me why in the heck kk priest and judas priest are coming to montreal 2 days apart who's bright idea was that. Kk priest with accept sept 11 Judas priest sept 13 Thank god accept is there to save the day
