The Law is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Exhorder, released in 1992 through Roadrunner Records. On this album, the band's sound became much more groove metal-oriented and the hardcore punk influences as heard on Slaughter in the Vatican were minimal. 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.
