A Sense Of Change

Description

When four young musicians from Munich founded the thrash band Sodom in the early 80s, no one could have imagined that they would set a milestone for European progressive metal with their debut album "Life Cycle" in 1988. Changes were already noticeable on "Steps" (1990), and with "A Sense Of Change" in 1991, they managed to win over prog and art rock fans for the first time. With the much more melodic singer Jogi Kaiser, who is still active in musicals today, and a reduced metal component, this balancing act was achieved in an impressive way. This is the first album by Sieges Even that was no longer released on LP by the label of the time (Steamhammer/SPV), but only on CD. "A Sense Of Change" was a great success in certain circles, but the group parted ways with guitarist Markus Steffen. The following two albums moved away from the previous style, but the reunion took place in 2005, producing "The Art Of Navigating By The Stars" and "Paramount". The chapter closed in 2007 with the live album "Playgrounds". Markus Steffen and singer Arno Menses founded Subsignal, which is still successfully active today. In 2024, "A Sense Of Change" is finally reissued, with the argument "for the first time on vinyl" being particularly highlighted. The material was first remastered, then mastered separately for CD and LP.
