 Andreas Marschall based his 1989 “Agent Orange” cover painting on a famous photo taken by Larry Burrows for Time Magazine. The photo captures the crew of a United States Air Force gunship, the Douglas AC-47 Spooky, firing its M134 Miniguns during a 1966 night mission in Vietnam.

"I KNOW THIS ALBUM IS A BIG INSPIRATION TO THE WHOLE SCENE..."

PIC(S) INFO: (L to R): Spotlight on the late, great drummer Christian "Witchhunter" Dudek (1965–2008), and bassist/vocalist Tom Angelripper of German first wave black metal band SODOM, with Tom holding up a hand-painted "Obsessed by Cruelty" leather jacket, c. 1986.

VOICES FROM THE DARKSIDE: "What do you think of "Obsessed By Cruelty" these days? You once said it’s a really strange album…"

TOM ANGELRIPPER: "I know this album is a big inspiration to the whole scene… And I know a couple of SODOM fans who say that this was the best SODOM album ever. This time was really chaotic."
