The Abyss

Summon the Beast

This is the side project from the Hypocrisy boys. This album is the debut released in '96. It's fast, brutal and very powerful, much like other Swedish acts like Marduk and Dark Funeral. The music isn't the most original, but still the material is great and one can wonder why they didn't do any hypocrisy songs from it. This is just as good stuff. They are also very good with their instruments and the production is very good for a debut, but as this was released the same year as "Abducted" so could one have expected more from such a experienced band. But this is so damn good anyway that I'm forced to give it the highest grade. Eventhough its not even 30 min. long.
