1996 studio album by Hypocrisy

Abducted is the fourth studio album released by Hypocrisy, released in 1996. It brought melodic death metal further into the band’s sound, replacing the original death metal sound. It was also released as a limited edition digipak, not to be confused with the non-limited edition digipak re-release. The album was since reissued alongside the band’s earlier death metal albums, resulting in positive feedback.^[5]

The samples in the intro, “The Gathering”, are taken from the so-called Halt Tape, which was allegedly recorded during the Rendlesham Forest incident on 26 December 1980.
