S.D.I.'s second full-length album first came out in 1988, two years after the Speed/Thrash outfit from Osnabrück, Lower Saxony had put out their eponymous (and quite infamous) debut album.

“Sign of the Wicked” was recorded at the Zuckerfabrik studio in Stuttgart, Germany. While the debut album had been recorded in a rush, “Sign of the Wicked” got all the time it needed to become the sophisticated masterpiece it is generally – and rightfully – regarded as.

“Sign of the Wicked” was excellently produced by Tom Krüger and contains one of the best songs ever written by S.D.I.: “Comin' Again”, which is not only catchy as hell but also takes a bold stance against neofascism.
