'Persecution Mania' is the second studio album by Sodom. The album marked the beginning of the change in sound from having elements of thrash metal, speed metal and black metal to mostly being thrash. As well as defining Sodom's sound, it exemplified the thrash metal genre at a time when it arguably peaked in popularity. The album also bore similarity to the music of other German bands such as Destruction and Kreator, and the term "Teutonic" thrash was coined from this.
