In a recent interview with George Dionne of KNAC.COM, bassist/vocalist Thomas 'Angelripper' Such of German thrash metal veterans SODOM once again addressed his decision to cut down on the band's touring activities for the foreseeable future.

Angelripper stated that he is spending more time with his family and enjoying his free time.

He also mentioned that he has no plans to go back to playing shows, but when he feels ready, he will call his booking agency to get shows.

Angelripper previously discussed SODOM's decision to take a break earlier in May 2025 in an interview with RapidMetalFire.

He explained that the reason for taking a break is not due to any health issues, but rather because he wants to spend more time with other things, such as his family and hunting district.

Angelripper emphasized that SODOM is still receiving booking requests from promoters around the world, and people are still interested in seeing them perform live.

However, he has no plans for future shows and prefers to enjoy his free time without any pressure.

The interview highlights Angelripple's perspective on taking a break from touring and how it allows him to focus on other aspects of life."
