Hyporisy is one of many great death metal bands erupting from
the surface of Sweden and the founder of the band Peter Tägtgren is familiar
among most real metal fans in the world. Except from his work with Hypocrisy
he has also produced many other great albums in his own studio in Sweden.
Nowadays Peter does the vocals himself but on this album the name of the
growler is Masse Bromberg. The sound quality on this album is of course not as
great as on the more recent albums from the band but you can see why they have
had such a successful career. Many death metal bands has nothing but growling
and a pounding drum machine which will become boring rather quickly. Hypocrisy
has a lot more than this - great guitar melodies and riffing, a very talented
drummer and a first class growler that does not sound the same throughout the
whole album. The music is very melodic but it is sometimes a little too simple
and sterile. The newer albums of the band are certainly better but it is
interesting to see how the band has developed over the years and this is not
at all a bad album. If you like melodic death metal with some of the best
growling around this is candy for you. I think the album was produced by Peter
Tägtgren himself but I´m not sure about
this.
