The newly founded German Thrash Metal outfit Bonded marks the return of former long-time Sodom members Bernd “Bernemann” Kost (Guitars) and Markus “Makka” Freiwald (Drums). Their highly versatile and hard-hitting debut album “Rest In Violence” also features second guitarist Chris Tsitsis (ex-Suicidal Angels), bassist Marc Hauschild and vocalist Ingo Bajonczak (Assassin) complimenting the line-up. Overkill’s Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth furthermore delivered guest vocals for the title-track, the album’s powerful production comes courtesy of Cornelius Rambadt (Sodom, Disbelief, Onkel Tom) and the striking artwork was made by Björn Gooßes / Killustrations (Aborted, The Crown, Carnal Forge). “Rest In Violence” is available as first-pressing limited edition CD in O-Card packaging, with a sticker as well as two bonus tracks or as LP on 180gr. vinyl.
