In November 2021, death metal titans Hypocrisy released their 13th 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 Two” covers the albums 'The Final Chapter' (1997), 'Hypocrisy' (1999), and 'Into The Abyss' (2000). Considered milestones in Hypocrisy’s career, Peter Tägtgren, Mikael Hedlund, and Lars Szöke reached a new level of songwriting quality and emphasized dynamics during this period. They created additional layers of atmosphere and at times used clean vocals resulting in hauntingly beautiful yet heavy and aggressive melodic death metal hymns. Now, these stunning albums return in classy vinyl and CD editions whereas Tägtgren’s remaster of 'Into The Abyss' will also be released digitally.
The 2023 reissues preserve true classics in an astonishing fashion that have been unavailable especially on LP for far too long or have never been released as standalone vinyl ('Into the Abyss'). Get ready to revisit one of the most consistent and fascinating discographies in extreme metal!
