''Into the Unknown'' is a 1983 album- the second LP by Bad Religion . The album was a major change from their previous style, delving into Psychedelic Rock heavy in Keyboard s, though it wasn't at all popular as fans at the time were confused by the sudden style shift.

The album is widely reputed to have been a major factor in their 1985 breakup as the recording sessions were riddled with discord. As a matter of fact, drummer Pete Finestone and bass player Jay Bentley left during the recording of the first song.

Only 10,000 of these albums were produced, and all of them were quickly warehoused when the band decided that the album was just too terrible for release. However, many did in fact end up in the hands of fans, when Brett Gurewitz's girlfriend Suzy Shaw, who worked at the warehouse, surreptitiously sold all but 300 of them.

The album is generally disowned by the band, and there has never been a second pressing. Despite its abandonment however, it has become highly desirable and is now something of a collector's item. The band has commented on the album on their site saying that they are not trying to hide it from fans, and that anyone who listens to it will understand why they stop releasing it.
