Preciso che questa è la mia prima recensione, quindi sarà piena di errori e di imprecisioni, sopratutto nello stile. Ho cercato di dare il massimo.  

Il capolavoro indiscusso di Peter Tagtgren. In questo album è racchiuso in pieno tutto lo spirito degli Hypocrisy, quello devastante degli inizi e quello psichedelico successivo. L'album è caratterizzato da un perfetto mix di cattiveria e di melodie, e sono proprio queste che lo rendono così fantastico. L'album è caratterizzato dall'alternanza incessente di un pezzo veloce e di un pezzo lento e melodico. Tecnicamente parlando il lavoro dei tre svedesi è ottimo: Peter alterna il growling e lo screaming in modo perfetto e anche dal punto di vista chitarristico non sbaglia un colpo, i giri di basso di Mikael, anche se messi poco in evidenza dalla produzione, sono abbastanza originali, mentre il drumming di Lars è come al solito preciso che cmq, c'è da precisare, è sempre inferiore a quello di molto batteristi death metal, e la differenza la si sente sopratutto nei pezzi veloci.  

L'album inizia con la violenta e caotica Inseminated Adoption, che non concede un attimo di tregua all'ascoltatore, seguita dalla lenta e psichedelica  A coming Race caratterizzata da una bellissima melodia. Dominion è il classico pezzo devastante in stile Hypocrisy, in cui Peter sfodera un screaming pazzesco, la melodica Inquire Within sorpende per quell'introduzione di chitarra e sitar, Last Vanguard , Trought the Window of time e Evil Invaders si muovono sugli stessi binari di Dominion. La sognante Request Denied è caratterizzata da un bellissimo assolo diviso tra chitarra classica e distorta, Shamatheur ha un mid-tempo devastante e chitarre assolutamente granitiche, il tutto condito con melodie psichedeliche ed opprimenti. Adjusting the sun è il capolavoro dell'album: melodica al punto giusto e molto tecnica, sopratutto dal punto di vista chitarristico, con un assolo al fulmicotone veramente bello. Lies segue la strada di A coming race. E per finire c'è l'alienante The final chapter, vero capolavoro di melodie malinconiche.  
I testi, come quelli di Abducted, parlano di Ufo e rapimenti alieni, il tutto cmq esposto da un punto di vista umano, dal punto di vista delle emozioni del rapito.     

In definitiva è un bellissimo album, un caposaldo del death metal svedese e cmq indipendente da tutta da scena scandinava. Gli Hypocrisy sono grandi per questo, per essere riusciti a creare uno stile personale in una scena strapiena di gruppi molto uguali tra loro come quella svedese degli anni '90.

Elenco tracce testi e video

01   Inseminated Adoption (04:34)

In a time of death.
I'm running through my head.
Is it just another suicidal dream?
I lost control.
They begin the work.
Realities are a major terror.

Into suffer, my life would follow.
Know-it-alls, but can't see, what's been done to me.
SAVE ME!
Murdered before livin� life.
Better take your weak into the morgue.
Your lame I can awake.
SAVE ME!
I'm fighting to exist.
Needles and instruments strapped in my head.
I will never be the same!!!

Here we go!

There's nothing left.
They explore my brain, spinning through me as a funnel.
There's gotta be an end.
My execution�s near.
There will be no tomorrow.

Know-it-alls, but can't see, what's been done to me.

SAVE ME!
Murdered before livin� life.
Better take your weak into the morgue.
Their lame I can awake.
SAVE ME!
I'm fighting to exist.
Needles and instruments strapped in my head.
I will never be the same!!!
I will never be the same!
NEVER!
NEVER!
NEVER...

02   A Coming Race (05:08)

Why all this searching?
The answer's always been near.
It is our destiny.
Away from a screeching people.
Waiting to destroy ourselves.
They can't interfere with history.

Nuclear creation. For eternity
(Looking for others) (they can't be strained/that can't be seen)

All I wish they would land here.
But it's too late now.
Time is dying (I told you)
(We've fallen to our own decay)

[again]
[SOLO]
[scream]

In the other dimension.
Time will no longer exist.
No one never grow old.
Something mankind will never resist.
Try destroying it, (I told you)

[chorus x2]

03   Dominion (03:33)

(Yeah Yeah !!!!!)

Learning through pain
To feed your mind against yourself.
To become an exterminate machine.
Deciding (on) the freedom of the earth.
Read my mind as I read yours.
(Do/Did) you see what I feel?
I control your life and thought(s)
Don't you try to (block/wipe me off/out)

I am creator.
Universal dominat(ion/or)
The source of eternity
I am the black hole

A flick of my finger(s)
I['ll] push you off the edge.

I choose to destroy your mind, like the fires can be stopped.
A profound, appalling hatred that many years you've watched us kill.

I am creator.
Universal dominat(ion/or)
The source of eternity
I am the black hole

With a flick of my finger(s)
I push you off the edge.
With a flick of my finger(s)
You('ll) disappear.

I am creator.
Universal dominat(ion/or)
The source of eternity
I am the black hole

04   Inquire Within (05:47)

I feel that my soul is leaving me.
My body is beginning to disapear.
(My mind is playing tricks on me
I am being turned inside-outiside
I think I'm losing it!
Where am I
Why is it so cold.
I try to look around,
how come I'm being paralyzed?
Caught from behind
Destroyed into / This journey to enternity
I am leaving for another world.
My body is floating hollow empty?
My thoughts are spinning out of control.
Will I ever be one again.
Will I ever reach the end?
Will I ever see the light.
Is this death or am I dreaming.
Feels like I am flying away.
How come this is happening to me
Why don't you leave me alone
I hear a voice that says- You're the chosen one.
I didn't choose to a victium
I didn't choose the pain
I didn't choose to be an experiment
I just want to get away from this hell.
Caught from behind
This journey to enternity
I am leaving for another world.
My body is floating hollow empty
My thoughts are spinning out of control.
Will I ever be one again.
If I die before I go home.
It would just be the same.
It would be my chance to be free.
Maybe because I am dying.
Will I ever reach the end?
Will I ever see the light.
Is this death or am I dreaming.
Feels like I am flying away.
Caught from behind
This journey to enternity
I am leaving for another world.
My body is floating hollow empty?
My thoughts are spinning out of control.
Will I ever be one again.

05   Last Vanguard (03:25)

06   Request Denied (04:52)

(It cannot (can no) longer be denied/They can no longer deny)
The government's coverup frights your life (far to long?)
Keep your mouth shut, (of/for) what you have seen
(Or/All) (your/the) body parts (will/were) spread around
For trying to prove the missing time

For those who have seen the terror has begun
Not for the things you've been through
But the things you (know/done)

(It's on an/in an institution)
(Where you will stay for the rest of your life)
There's no therapy, justify the mind
Revealing all that of your soul
There's nothing you try to get treatment for.
REQUEST DENIED!!!

[Whispers]
[Scream]

[chorus]

The memories of (the encounters/these hours)
Will never go away
I'm (scared/scarred) for the rest of my life

07   Through the Window of Time (03:30)

08   Shamateur (05:18)

Now meet your maker.

Alone, you won't go!

Unbeknown in my dreams, or was it for real?



There is no use now, to pretend.

Your hundred names, I'll never forget.

I felt a bad dream, you won't.

You can't resist!



Your final relief, is your way.

No need to end this pain.

Bury this world, within your lie!



Slow, endless life.

Slow.

No.

Now.

Not yet.

Wait.

Release, of my sorrows.



Love, will conquer!

Endless last nights.

And no one cares, when we met.

Life.

No one cares...



Now meet your maker.

I'm not afraid.

The day is at dawn.

Don't try to teach me things,

to see how long you can live.

How are we to fight it?

Curse on the weak.

Take all my thoughts.

Will this ever end?

09   Adjusting the Sun (04:43)

Reach for the sky.
???
It will make you blind.
There is no end.
And to the stars.
And Planets.
Solar Systems a far
Is their anyone up there.
To answer our prayers?
Silence
Terrorists
Religious
Anti-Christ
You think you know the answer?
Heaven. Hell. GOD. Satan.
Would not be with out the other.
Mankind murders
Power. Murder.
It is all for the pleasure.
Cowards. Murders.
God. Satan.
Would not be with out the other.
Religion.
A rusted machine.
Reilgion you think ???
Silence
Terrorists
Religion
Anti-Christ
You think you know the answer?
Heaven. Hell. GOD. Satan.
There would be none with out the other.
Mankind murders

Would not be with out the other.

10   Lies (04:37)

11   Evil Invaders (03:49)

12   The Final Chapter (05:21)

During some abductions
I'm aware of them.
Of they're taking spermsamples
in many different ways.
They've done it in many different ways.
With tubes, with a... like catheters.
There's one way I not been able to deal with.
Emotionaly or under aggression.
And that's when there's a being on top of me...

I can feel it growing stonger.
the hate towards them.
I've got nothing to live for
Only to stay as another victim.

They've been tourturing me my whole life.
I cannot understand. Why!

for how long can I go on
when they have already raped every inch of me
why won't they leave me alone
this is not the life I've chosen.

It's time to put an end to this pain.
I wanna get away from this hell.

Those black empty eyes is haunting me.
hate and sorrow builds up inside
I must take my life to be free.
This will be my final chapter...
