The Fourth Dimension is the third studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Hypocrisy, released on 25 October 1994. The limited edition digipak (cat.-no. NB 112-2 DIGI), not to be confused with the digipak re-release, has the track "The Abyss" instead of "The Arrival of the Demons". This track was later re-recorded for The Arrival album. The digipak re-release contains two bonus tracks, "Request Denied" and "Strange Ways", taken from the Maximum Abduction EP. After the departure of vocalist Masse Broberg, Hypocrisy's lyrics began to focus more on the paranormal and science fiction. The person on the cover is Mikael Hedlund, Hypocrisy's bassist. The album was since reissued alongside the band's other earlier death metal albums, resulting in positive feedback. ^[2]
