The Abyss

The Abyss was basically Hypocrisy playing black metal, featuring the identical lineup of that band at the time, though switching instruments here, bassist Mikael Hedlund playing guitars. This was heads-down, speedy old-school black metal, well played though a bit samey and monotonous. The vocals were of a typical black metal rasp (all three are listed as vocalists, but it only sounded like one guy). Not a bad effort here, but as Hypocrisy side projects go, Pain was better.
