Hypocrisy – Abducted LP (Transparent Red Vinyl) on Sale

In November 2021, death metal titans Hypocrisy released their 13^{th studio album Worship to massive acclaim from fans and media ending up in the top ranks of many year’s end lists and scorring some of highest chart results to date.  Now, Hypocrisy and Nuclear Blast Records will start the first, and definitely not final chapter of a catalogue campaign bringing back all their legendary past records, some of which are much sought-after rarities.}

“Chapter One” begins with classy vinyl and CD editions of Penetralia (1992), Osculum Obscenum (1993), The Fourth Dimension (1994), and Abducted (1996). Documenting the evolution from the violent and utterly morbid Masse Broberg-fronted first two records, the much revered opus The Fourth Dimension that showed a darker and more melodic approach until Abducted which includes live staple ‘Roswell 47’, this first phase of Hypocrisy s career laid down the groundwork for the Swedes trademark sound.

The 2023 reissues feature all original art with a few, careful touchups – the band logo on Penetralia was for example never meant to be pink purple – and preserve true death metal classics in astonishing form that have been unavailable especially on LP for far too long.
