PAIN
(self-titled)

Peter Tagtgren (Hypocrisy, The Abyss, Marduk, Sorhin, Algaion, Arckanum, etc.!) is pissed! His newest adventure in hi-fi recording presents his anger, alienation, & despair via Swans-esque, intense & unforgiving futuristic Dark Metal-- a cold, mechanical Metal/Industrial alloy. PAIN stomps & grinds & churns with the best of them. Similar to a stripped-down, bare-bones minimum Hypocrisy with a full dose of bitterness, frustration, & disgust (at the whole world in general, I guess...); this substantial, thought-provoking & satisfying album is a more than adequate stop-gap between "Abducted" & it's eagerly awaited follow-up! *(Hail Peter! See you & Hypocrisy at Metal Fest '97!)

THE ABYSS
"Summon The Beast"

"The Black Metal side-project of Hypocrisy unleases their sophomore opus & it is a relentless release of hammering intensity. The Abyss plow through eight songs of Marduk/Immortal style brutality with hyper percussion work, courtesy of Peter Tagtgren (who also produced the album) & the howls of guitarist Mikael Hedlund... The sound, conviction, & execution is top-notch, & while the release is more based on speed than ambiance, it is a stomper." --(reviewed in Ill Literature #13).
