The Law is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Exhorder, released on March 15, 1992 through Roadrunner Records. In this album, the band's sound became much more groove metal-oriented and the thrash influences as heard on Slaughter in the Vatican were reduced. It was reissued by Roadrunner in 2003 in a two-disc set with Slaughter in the Vatican and again in 2008. The song "Into the Void" is a cover of a Black Sabbath song off their Master of Reality album.
