Into the Unknown is a music album by the punk rock band Bad Religion from 1983 . It is the band's most unsuccessful album to date, and due to the conflict-ridden recording sessions during which drummer Pete Finestone and bassist Jay Bentley left the band, it was considered to be decisive for the band's temporary separation two years later. In an interview with the German magazine Rock Hard in 1989, Brett Gurewitz distanced himself from this album.
On this album, the group tried to open up to new influences, such as from psychedelic rock . This attempt was viewed by the band as a failure and the label Epitaph Records , which belongs to the guitarist Brett Gurewitz , withdrew the 10,000 copies that had not yet been sold from the market. Gurewitz's girlfriend later sold the remaining records in secret.
Into The Unknown is the only album of the band's "classic" epitaph phase ( How Could Hell Be Any Worse to Generator ) that has not been remastered and is not officially available on CD yet. The LP was part of a vinyl box set for the band's 30th anniversary with all 15 studio albums released to date. Except for Billy Gnosis (2010 in New York), no live performances are known.
