S.O.B., also known as SxOxBx, is an early, seminal hardcore punk and Thrashcore band from Japan. Their band name is an acronym for Sabotage Organized Barbarian.

Biography

S.O.B. are pioneers of thrashcore. The group debuted in 1986 with the record, Leave Me Alone. In 1990, S.O.B. found international recognition with their split 7" EP with British band Napalm Death, who are pioneers of grindcore, along with bands like Terrorizer and Repulsion. Members of Napalm Death have credited S.O.B. as influencing Napalm Death's sound.

In July 1989, S.O.B. met Napalm Death during a Japanese tour, and Napalm Death's members Shane Embury and Lee Dorrian played on the record Thrash Night, an EP released by Dorrian's label Rise Above. In the same year, the band held a session for John Peel's Radio program on BBC.

Their album "Gate Of Doom" is S.O.B's most death metal influenced album, something not seen on any other S.O.B. albums. Influences on that album draw from many death-related artists like Morbid Angel, Brutal Truth, Carcass and later Napalm Death. Their older albums, like "Don't Be Swindle", shows completely different influences ranging from most notably Siege, The Misfits, Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies and many other hardcore rock related bands.
