Hypocrisy - Into the Abyss
Wasting no time after releasing their self-titled effort, Hypocrisy is back with ten new extraterrestrial tales on Into the Abyss. What makes this such an impressive release is that it incorporates elements of Hypocrisy’s entire back catalog to create a collection of songs that should appeal to any Hypocrisy fan no matter which release is your favorite. Into the Abyss is charged with ferocity and intensity, and backed by the rhythm section of Hedlund and Szöke, the music is as dynamic and solid as ever. As always, Tagtgren’s vocals shift effortlessly from Deathly growls to ghastly screams while his razor-sharp guitar riffs make songs like “Legions Descend” and “Blinded” instant Hypocrisy classics. Closing track “Deathrow” shares a strong bloodline with “Request Denied,” yet another classic from the release The Final Chapter. The production is flawless which, given Tagtgren’s talent as a producer, should come as no surprise. The packaging and layout are top-notch as well making this lush fold-out digipak as pleasing to the eyes as the music is to the ears. Into the Abyss is a necessity for Hypocrisy fans and the perfect introduction for those previously unfamiliar with this band’s music. This release is irrefutable proof that Hypocrisy has no intentions of slowing down or fading into obscurity any time soon.
