While most Swedish
death metal have chosen the Gothenburg path with beautiful melodies as the
premier goal Hypocrisy chose to embrace the American way of playing death
metal. While still maintaining a very thick and aggressive sound Peter
Tägtgren and Hypocrisy have always incorporated new elements in their
music to stay ahead of most of the competition. This time there is a chance
that the Tägtgren, who is still one of the most important metal
personalities in the world, have gone a little too far in his will to
experiment. You probably already know of his side "project" Pain and the new
Hypocrisy album have been infected with some influences from the other band.
Some of the fans will probably be a little disappointed with this and I have
already seen the album being pretty much discarded by the Swedish Close-Up
Magazine. I don't really agree with this though. Sure, there are plenty of
experimenting with both vocals and song structures on the new album but the
Hypocrisy aggression is still there. While the previous album was more
symphonic and melodic in its nature this one is more aggressive and
experimental with straight-forward riffing instead of keyboards. Hypocrisy
have changed and I also kind of miss the old sound but this is still a very
good album that I think would satisfy most old fans of the band and also gain
them a few new ones. Standout tracks: "Destroyed", "Another Dead
End".
