At the Height of Their Game

Hypocrisy does "melodic death metal" better than any band out there, mixing excellent songwriting with production that creates an absolute wall of sound. Download this and "Arrival" and prepare for the aural onslaught.

Essential

If you like melodic death metal, then you need this album. Period. Very catchy. Download Roswell 47, Killing Art, Paradox and Carved Up to get a taste, and you'll be back for the rest.

Hypocrisy just barely cross into black metal territory with their follow-up to the successful The Fourth Dimension, Abducted. Guitarist/vocalist Peter Tägtgren not only delivers some of the heaviest guitar playing of his career, he makes significant strides with his voice as well. Instead of exclusive reliance on the typical cookie-monster grunting featured on The Fourth Dimension (the musician’s first attempt at vocals), Tägtgren expands his repertoire to include sub-sonic growls and piercing black metal screeches, along with the grunts and hollers he had already mastered. In fact, on the title track, the singer/guitarist shifts his voice through all three styles, lending a new dynamic to his band’s music. That music, specifically Tägtgren’s guitar playing, is an essential element of Abducted’s success. The record opens with some truly massive guitar tones that decorate cuts like “Roswell 42″ and “Killing Art” and never let up throughout the 13-song track list. Simply stated, this is another highly recommended effort from Hypocrisy. – Jason Anderson
