Sodom parts ways with drummer

German thrash legends SODOM have issued the following statement:

"After personal and private problems between Tom (Angelripper) and Bobby, it was decided, by mutual agreement, the end of the cooperation between Sodom and drummer Bobby Schottkowski.

Tom and Bernemann (guitar) will announce as soon as possible a replacement drummer. The shows from January will be performed as planned and the upcoming tour in February will take place in any case. Until then we will have incorporated the new drummer.

We thank you for your understanding and your loyal support."
