HYPOCRISY!!

[doom_death]

Sorry guys, I know this is not right place, but just can't help my self... I am really interested in your opinions about them...as huge Katatonia fan, I am also huge Hypocrisy fan, because, they are making full dark and depressive stuff...and brutal of cours, but I adore their s/t,catch 22,arrival style of the songs...please, share opinions... thanx

 

[Cerulean]

The Final Chapter is one of the coolest songs in musical history.
And the DVD is just damn awesome, what a VOICE!!!

 

[MadTinus]

I always kinda liked them, they had a few good songs, but I was never really a huge fan, but since they got Horgh on drums their music gained enormously in power. "Virus" is a great album.

 

[LifeDepraved]

Huge, huge fan of Hypocrisy and Peter Tagtgren!! My Favorite has to be the S/T album. Disconnected Magnet Corridors..Until The End..Fractured Millenium...Doesn't get any better than those. I love the early stuff as well...brutal as fuck! But Catch 22 and Arrival weren't that great I dont think, some good songs each on there. Virus though is definently a return to form and one of their better albums.

 

[Cerulean]

Pff Catch 22 reminded me of Slipknot sometimes, and that's a bad thing (for me)
But yeah, they have true masterpieces

 

[Tumn]

The Fourth Dimension and Virus are my favorite, both awesome albums!

 

[BlueSky]

They don't really remind me of katatonia but ya I like em. ST is definitely their strongest effort and the arrival still rocks kevo. Virus is also greatness. those are the only 3 cds of theirs I own and listen to besides a few tracks off catch 22 and the abyss

I've always irritated the shit out of me cause the drums were way too fucking simplistic!!:zombie:
always like; the standard thing with EVERY beat on-count... and the fills are like 4 16th notes on every tom... jezus christ!
it's amazing the dude plays 16th notes on the double-bass every once in a while

>.O

I think Peter's former project The Abyss is better.

 

[Hobo]

few lines in death metal are as good as "we all have the right to know what realy happened in roswell fortyseveeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannn!!!!!"

I realy like Hypocrisy.. i only own one album though.. more are on my "to buy" list

Then check out the last album with Horgh on drums, huge improvement on the drums. Cause yes, Szöke was indeed a very basic and limited drummer..

yeah I've heard it, it's deffinately better, but I don't really like it.
It isn't really my style you see =)

 

[Cerulean]

Bah! Hypocrisy is definitely about the atmosphere and not about the drums.
That's why I like The Final Chapter so much, it's so atmospheric and bone chilling.

yeah I know, but as a drummer I can't help but listening to the drums...
And it's diffinately something I'm disappointed in. Btw, I don't really like the athmosphere of hypocrisy, so that's a bad combination...

The drums of course are not everything, for example, I still love hearing discouraged ones, but it has an athmostphere which I really love a lot and I wouldn't even think of saying 'I don't like the drums' because I would be lying.

yeah, I just don't see the magical athmosphere in hypocrisy I think...

 

[Cerulean]

Our drummer hates it too

 

[Hobo]

well, as every good musician knows, drummers are just a bit less intelligent

(j/k, so noone get offended..)

I am a real fan... I started to listen to metal back in the middle of 90s because of Entombed and Hypocrisy. Saw them live so many times I couldn't even count and love all Tägtgren projects, from Pain to The Abyss. My personal favorite is "Abducted", but I love all of their albums. I think Peter was the best for Bloodbath *loud sigh*. Maybe you guys should think of bringing him back somehow. Without doubt the best growling voice ever...

 

[stefan86]

I think they're alright. Much of it is too blend melo-metal for me, but I do like some songs. "Pleasures of Molestation", "Buried" and "Final Chapter" are especially cool. Tägtgren obviously has a great voice.

I think its reason is jealousy because Horgh is a real beast.
