In the organizer's words:

Thrash legends SODOM have been one of the most influential bands in the metal scene since the 1980s. With unbroken energy and an uncompromising sound, the band led by Tom Angelripper has influenced generations of fans. Dr. Holger Schmenk has compiled their history in book form, conducted numerous interviews, dug deep into archives and talked to companions to paint a portrait of the band that is as personal as it is comprehensive. "Born on coal" tells the SODOM biography on over 300 pages, starting with Thomas Such's childhood in Gelsenkirchen-Buer and ending in the year 2025.

Guests at the event in Lükaz will be Yorck Segatz, long-time SODOM guitarist, and ROCK HARD editor Ronny Bittner, who has not only conducted numerous interviews with SODOM over the years, but has also written the foreword for "Auf Kohle geboren".

What you can expect:
- Book presentation & reading
- Discussion with Holger Schmenk, York Segatz and Ronny Bittner
- Behind-the-scenes insights into the making of the book
- Musical introduction with classics from SODOM
- Numerous photos from the time of creation to the present day

Come along when thrash history comes to life - raw, loud and authentic.
A must for fans of SODOM, Ruhrpott metal and music history!
