 Abduction by Aliens or Sleep Paralysis? (Skeptical Inquirer May 1998)
This figure has been widely publicized and is often assumed to mean that millions of people have been visited by members of an alien species and, in some cases, physically taken from their beds, cars, or homes to an alien craft or planet.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - HYPOCRISY - Abducted
Thrash attacks like “Carved Up” and the title track are rough old school makings of dynamic rhythms and guitar work charging relentlessly at the listener, simple but effective.
With this album I think HYPOCRISY took Death Metal to a new level (without even knowing it) by mixing some less metallic influences into their otherwise brilliantly forged Death Metal, and if it weren’t for their trademark sonic sound, the enjoyment of hearing HYPOCRISY just wouldn’t have been the same.
“Abducted” is a classic, an essential, a free fall into musical experimentation, a genre defining piece of music, a punch in the face, it’s so much all in one, truly a special Death Metal album.
