On this day, December 1, 1987, German thrash metal pioneers Sodom released their second studio album, Persecution Mania. The album marked a turning point for the band, blending their raw early sound with sharper production and more refined songwriting, helping to define their place in the thrash and blackened thrash metal scenes.

Featuring standout tracks like “Nuclear Winter” and “Christ Passion,” Persecution Mania showcased Sodom’s aggressive riffs, dark themes, and driving intensity. The album also introduced their iconic mascot, the gas mask-wearing soldier, solidifying their visual and sonic identity.
