Hot on the heels of last years indispensable compilation come the new Hypocrisy CD and I must say that to my ears it’s probably their best so far. There are a few new elements in the mix which only adds to their appeal opening track "Don’t Judge Me" kicks in with it’s industrial tinged thrash metal noise and Peter Tagtgren’s unmistakable vocal style and has everything that you could want in a top notch Metal song, Why aren’t these guys massive, if they were American and not German they would be hailed as the Saviours of the genre.
The second track aptly called "Destroyed" does just that but the one thing that strikes you about these guys is that despite being as heavy as a really heavy thing there is always an underlying melodic sensibility, somehow Peter manages to scream in harmony, how does he do it?
I defy anyone to listen to "Uncontrolled", "Hatred" and the now familiar track "Turn the Page" (that appeared on the best of compilation) and be totally blown away. This is a fantastic CD and I can’t recommend it too highly, if you like your Metal brutal but friendly you will love this.
