Guido Richter, the real name of former Sodom drummer Atomic Steif, died last week, as reported from blabbermouth.net. There are presently no other details known about his demise. The “Get What You Deserve” and “Masquerade In Blood” LPs, as well as the “Aber Bitte Mit Sahne” EP, included Atomic Steif, who was a member of Sodom from 1993 to 1995. In addition, he performed with Violent Force, Holy Moses, Assassin, and Living Death. Christian “Witchhunter” Dudek was replaced by Atomic Steif in Sodom. According to reports, Dudek passed away in September 2008 from failure of a key organ. On behalf of the Chaoszine team, our deepest sympathies to Richer’s family, friends and loved ones.
