"Osculum Obscenum (Reissue 2023)" on CD brings back one of Hypocrisy's early milestones in uncompromising Swedish death metal, newly reissued by Nuclear Blast. The album captures the band in their raw, formative phase, defined by crushing riffs, precise yet feral drumming and Peter Tägtgren's distinctive growls that move between guttural heaviness and desperate screams. Dark, blasphemous atmospheres and a cold, Scandinavian production aesthetic give this record its timeless underground aura, making it a key document of early '90s extreme metal reimagined for a new generation of listeners. This 2023 reissue is aimed both at collectors who want a fresh edition for their shelves and newcomers who wish to explore the roots of Hypocrisy's sound.
