* AudienceAlienatingEra: The mid-90s era (''Get What You Deserve'', ''Masquerade in Blood'' and '''Til Death Do Us Unite'', but ''Blood'' the most) is often considered a step down to what was before, with a particularly common criticism being the band became too punk and Music/{{Motorhead}} for their own good. ''Code Red'' and especially ''M-16'' are a big step up in comparison.

''Code Red'' and especially ''M-16'' are a big step up in comparison. However, the remake album ''The Final Sign of Evil'' puts the band right back in this.
** On the other side of the coin, some praise that Sodom retained much of their aggression and speed during the 90s unlike most thrash metal bands who either slowed down or toned their music down.

* FaceOfTheBand: Most metal fans can only name Tom Angelripper, who has been the mastermind of the band from the beginning. If they can name someone else, it's usually Frank Blackfire, who performed on some of Sodom's and also Music/{{Kreator}}'s most highly regarded material.

* GrowingTheBeard: The ''Expurse of Sodomy'' EP set the point where Sodom transitioned from Venom-influenced BlackMetal to ThrashMetal. Later happened again with ''Code Red'' and especially ''M-16'', generally seen as having gotten them out of their mid-late 90s slump.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV-3BW_OraE Their cover]] is "Surfin' Bird" by the Trashmen is exactly as ridiculous as you'd expect a DeathMetal cover of a novelty SurfRock song to be, and it's fucking ''hilarious''. Tom sounds like he's trying to his hardest to avoid {{Corpsing}} when he does the "bababababaBABABABABABABA".

they basically Covered Up Tank's "Don't Walk Away". More people know about Sodom than they do about Tank.

Added DiffLines:

* CoveredUp: Sodom's cover version of "Don't Walk Away" is more popular than the [=Tank=] original. It certainly helps that it was on ''Agent Orange'' as that album is Sodom's most commercially successful release, notably being a gold-selling album in the band's native Germany[[note]]100,000 units is gold-status in Germany[[/note]].
