Artist: SODOM
Album: AGENT ORANGE (CD)

Release date: 1989
Media type: CD

Agent Orange is the third album by German thrash metal band Sodom, their last with guitarist Frank Blackfire. The lyrical content delves deeply into mainman's Tom Angelripper's fascination with the Vietnam War, sporting a song dedicated to the ground assault aircraft Magic Dragon as well as the herbicide-inspired title-track. In line with the tenets of thrash metal the conflict in itself is not glorified but depicted in a grim and realistic way. It was the first thrash metal album to enter the German album charts. The song "Ausgebombt" was released on the EP Ausgebombt with German lyrics.

To this date, Agent Orange has sold more than any other Teutonic thrash metal band's albums.
