Abducted is the fourth studio album released by Hypocrisy. It is the album where the band started to change their sound. On this release melodic death metal was brought into their 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 samples in the intro The Gathering are taken from the so-called Halt Tape, which allegedly has been recorded during the Rendlesham Forest incident on December 26, 1980.

Track listing

All songs written and composed by Hypocrisy. 

This digipack re-release features four live tracks recorded at the Nuclear Blast Festival on September 25, 2000.
