One of the first and best crossover albums! Super iconic riff on this song. See this video for an amazing live performance of this song and March of the S.O.D. and one of the craziest stage dives ever!

YouTube, Spotify, metal-archives

EDIT: I can see from the downvotes that some people are misunderstanding the post/aren't part of the thrash community. The album is satirical, the songs written from the perspective of the character and bigoted militant "Sargent D". It is meant to be over the top to show how ridiculous those types of people are. S.O.D. is a joke side project created in a bit of spare time in the studio that took off as one of the first crossover albums, and the earliest representations of blast-beats. It was a side project of Scott Ian from Anthrax who is definitely not racist and has made many songs against racism in his time in Anthrax and he writes the lyrics for Anthrax. Ok, rant out of the way, I can see why it generates bad reactions, which is sorta the point of it I guess.

I too loved Iced Earth, the guitarist had a mean right hand. Now I would never dream of posting/buying merch/seeing live. Fucking terrorists.
