METAL 2008 - OFFICIAL THREAD

Sadly, this year I didn't have much free time so I haven't heard a lot of new stuff, but this albums really stood out

expecting the new Hypocrisy....
 
As far as I know the re-record of Catch 22 was their big effort for the year. I don't think they're recording anything else right now.
 
From their website; December '07 update:

Everybody in Hypocrisy is sitting home and writing for the next album right now and we wanna make sure it will be the best release we can do...when it will be out we don't know.. mabye in the beginning of 2009 so have a great new year and see you soon!

Hypocrisy
 
Wow. Why the hell would they rerecord Catch 22? It's easily their worst album. I think it sucks, but then again, their only albums I really like are the first two (I find The Fourth Dimension and Abducted merely OK).

Everything after Abducted was awful. Abducted is classic

Virus is their best album
 
Fyi if you buy the Spectrum Of Death reissue directly from Powerplay's store (and not eBay) they're temporarily throwing in a free Morbid Saint DVD- live in Milwaukee 12/2/89. Cool stuff.
