This is my favourite Hypocrisy album. They have many classic songs here like Apocalypse, Reincarnation, massive Slaughter or majestic title track. I bet there can`t be no Hypocrisy show without two or three songs from "Fourth Dimension" as well as it can`t be without Roswell 47. rThis is the first LP where they found and defined their own style, all ingrediences of their on-coming production (including alteration of slow and quick songs) are present here. Their music is simple, heavy, brutal, and very metal. With deep swedish sound (not from Sunlight however) and strong melodies in slow songs they are able to create an impressive atmosphere, just to beat you to death with another smasher. Keyboards are used here only when it makes sense and finally, vocals are excellent, mostly deep death metal growls here from Tagtgren.rBy the way, I think that term `melodic death metal' didn`t exist in 1994, and i don`t like it too much, so... this is death metal that is very direct and heavy, with some doom metal influence in its slower passages.
