Danny Lilker, bassist for S.O.D. had commented that S.O.D. is over

While the whole world watches Billy Milano try to resurrect lauded and hated thrash act S.O.D. after ousting members Scott Ian and Charlie Benante (both of Anthrax), it appears bassist Danny Lilker is completely fed up with the idea.

"I spoke with Bill, and he is no longer going to attempt to put together any version of [S.O.D.] without all the original members, and since he and Charlie have both decided never to play with each other again due to all the recent shit-slinging, the band is over," Lilker posted on the official Anthrax message board. "This is not an Ozzy-esque trick — we're not gonna do a 'final' tour ('This is the last time you'll get a chance to see us ever, so make sure and go!'—that Sharon is a crafty bitch), if you never saw S.O.D. you never will. Sgt. D will be going to Valhalla with the rest of the dead warriors. Adios amigos, and thanks for all the support, it was greatly appreciated."

It had be speculated that Milano would, in fact, hire former Fear Factory members, guitarist Dino Cazares and drummer Raymond Herrera, to replace Ian and Benante, but quarrels between the two musicians and other commitments killed the idea. Herrera, in fact, admitted that without the original line-up, S.O.D. "really isn't S.O.D."

So, unless Milano, Ian and Benante mend whatever is between them, it's highly unlikely that a follow-up to 1999's Bigger than the Devil will ever surface.
