Tom Angelripper (real name Thomas Such, born in 1963) is the founding member and main songwriter of the German thrash metal band Sodom. In this band he plays the bass guitar and handles the vocals. He is highly inspired by the band Motörhead, which is his favourite band. He formed Sodom with guitarist Frank "Agrressor" Testegen and drummer Rainer "Bloody Monster" Focke in 1982, in a desperate bid to get out of working in the coal mines that the three had worked in. [1].
He also founded a band called Onkel Tom Angelripper which plays metal versions of Schlagers and drunk-mans songs.
In addition, he worked with a side project of Sodom's touring guitarist Alex Kraft, called Desperados[2] which featured spaghetti-western-themed heavy metal. The band later evolved independently under the name of Dezperadoz, but Angelripper still occasionally contributes.
