And that path leads straight into glamourous TV studios, teen magazines and talk shows — not really places that see Peter happy.

Especially Lars seems to be one of those persons that only come to life at a speed considered dangerous by normal persons The raging intensity is just a cover for innovative ideas that go way beyond death metal standards.

Because this band never refused any challenge, and be it one posed by themselves. So expect the unexpected, but rest assured that the result is brilliant.

Now, I know it has become quite fashionable these days to write lengthy tirades about how sucky Gothenburg Death Metal is and stuff.

Just because certain bands have chosen to go all Metallica and sell out newer In Flames really do blow! Get a life!! Has a certain Thrash Metal flavor to it. Well done. Very solid, no-questions-asked Death Metal. Mid-paced, with excellent lead guitar passages oops, here we go again… that somehow always remind me of Scandinavian folk music. And it comes in the perfect spot before the last song on the album, which is another epic one. Slow, brooding, melancholic, yet at the same time very angry, rhythmic, and heavy, and with great vocals by Mr.

This song is guaranteed to make wannabe melodic Black Metal bands go green with envy. In conclusion: Anyone who thinks the later Hypocrisy are too accessible and the earlier Hypocrisy were too bland should get this album, as it is the perfect synthesis between the old and the new. Killer album! This is not a back to the roots like some people were announcing it would be. But who cares? After the self-titled album, which was very much experimental and atmospheric.

People should be asking how this one would sound. And they impress once again. But this time they don't impress with the experimental stuff, but with an album much more raw but still sounding modern. The opening track "Legions Descend" is a blow into your face, there's no intro, no keyboards, just the usual Hypocrisy style, straight to the point.

This track will surely make the the old fans smile. But the album is not just about it, songs like "Ressurected" and "Fire in the Sky" shows the new Hypocrisy, with all the experimentalism, and atmospheric stuff. And they are great when they do songs like that. I would describe this album like a pefect mix between the old Hypocrisy and the new.

There's fast and heavy songs with Peter screaming insane like always, but there's still songs in the new style with the clean vocals and all the variations and experimentalism common nowadays in their music, and this is very good cause it makes a perfect balance and the album never gets old.

You'll want to hear it again and again. This album is a great surprise for the ones who was waiting something "lighter". And it must make both the new fans and the old fans happy. The year was , and after a false split, Hypocrisy released one of the most experimental, varied and well done albums of their lenghty career, "Hypocrisy".

When time came to start working on the successor of this immesne album, the band, true to their "you never know what to expect from us" style, decided to went into the opposite direction, and when the new record, "Into The Abyss", was released in , many were left shocked and even disappointed by its primitive nature.

Fans were expecting the band to go further down the path of "The Final Chapter" and "Hypocrisy", while the new record was forged by a back to the roots feeling, with little or no room for weird guitar effects, keyboards and vocal experiments which had become trademark Hypocrisy gimmicks over the years since "The Fourth Dimension" in Instead, Peter and his faithful mates stripped the whole sound down back to its good old Death Metal core, revealing a more dynamic and aggressive side of the band that many seemed to have quite forgotten.

Written, recorded and produced in just 4 weeks of Metal frenzy, "Into The Abyss" basically brings the forumla of "Osculum Obscenum" back into the creative spotlight and updates it with years of experience in terms of musical partnership and production skills.

The bludgeoning album opener, "Legions Descend", is theperfect mood setter for the album: a crushing Death Metal assault performed by three extremely talented and experienced musicians, made even more intense by the renowned Abyss Studio production and featuring tricks such as very subtle keyboards paired to frantic tremolo riffs, proving that Hypocrisy didn't forget all the barriers they broke with their own activity.

The following song, "Blinded", continues the thought in an even more furious and uncomprosing manner, with the melody being carried by simple yet effective gyuitar harmonies over a relentless assault of thrashy beats and Peter's inhuman screams. So does "Digital Prophecy", carried forth by incredibly fast guitar and bass tappings and pull-offs, and "Sodomized", a blistering feast of pounding drums and razor-sharp tremolo pickings. Even better results are achieved through "Total Eclipse" written by Lars and Mikael , which combines the classic fast pattern to some really unusual chord progressions and harmoniesm sounding spontaneus and experimental at the same time.

Songs like these describe the nature of "Into The Abyss" best: even by going back to their original sound, Hypocrisy can still show improvements. However, "Into The Abyss" isn't as monotonous and predicable as most disappointed fans cried out. Although the fast and furious Death Metal side dominates, Hypocrisy didn't forget how to spice things up with their renowned variety. Enter "Resurrected", a slow menacing sledgehammer of bizarrely filtered clean vocals, distant keyboards and viciously catchy riffs, almost reminding of "The Fourth Dimension" in their nature.

Then we have "Unleash the Beast", a classic pit mover in the vein of "Buried", featuring some clean vocals paired to growls and screams in the chorus. The closing track, "Deathrow No Regrets ", is the only real slow song on the album, with its sorrowful keyboard passages and the only "pure" clean vocal moment of "Into The Abyss" in its chorus.

All in all what we have here is an extremely good album whose greatest misfortune was to have to withstand the overwhelming status of the likes of "Abducted" and "Hypocrisy". It's not as groundbreaking or experimental, bur very far from bad or forgettable. Recommended for those who think Hypocrisy have strayed too far with their post-"The Fourth Dimension" releases.
