At this stage of the abyss, HYPOCRISY's brand and legacy are both assured and you could easily make the case that Peter Tagtgren should instead focus on all his energies, creative and otherwise, on the far more lucrative PAIN. But that hasn't happened, and it's probably because Peter is, proudly, old school and from a time when death metal actually mattered on a visceral and existential level instead of just as the measure of how far into the synthetic you can push ProTools (that makes me sound old, I know). 2009's A Taste Of Extreme Divinity was one of the '00s' strongest records (the duo of 'Solar Empire' and 'Weed Out The Weak', as well as opener 'Valley Of The Damned', are true testaments to death metal's enduring legacy, contribution, identity and importance) and End Of Disclosure follows suit, this album a representation of what made Hypocrisy so damn important during the '90s and why we should be immensely grateful that we can still utter the words 'new Hypocrisy record'. Writing with the kind of inspiration and furious hunger that is usually only found on debuts, Hypocrisy has perfectly channeled Stockholm '91 while also dissertating with the enormous vigour that it takes to keep up in the contemporary metal world; shockingly (the shock is real), the band does it with if-the-shoe-fits-wear-it ease, End Of Disclosure a culmination of so many iconic metal moments and, no doubt, a foreshadowing of what is to come as death metal enters its late 20s. For surreal and mind-blowing greatness, experience 'The Eye', 'Tales Of The Spineless' and 'United We Fall' and witness death metal's splendor at its zenith, pinnacle and peak.
