===''Into the Unknown'', ''Back to the Known'' and hiatus (1983–1985)===
In 1983, the band released ''[[Into the Unknown (Bad Religion album)|Into the Unknown]]'', a keyboard-driven [[progressive rock|progressive]] [[hard rock]] album with a slightly slower pace.<ref name="intotheunknown">{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/into-the-unknown-mw0000836297|title=Into The Unknown (review)|author=Dougan, John|publisher=allmusic.com|access-date=June 23, 2012}}</ref> Almost all of the albums the band produced were sold out of the warehouse they were housed in without the band's knowledge, after which this album went out of print. This incident, as well as band members' increasingly divergent personal lives, led to the band's temporary dissolution shortly after the album's release.<ref name="opiateofthemasses" />

Soon after, Graffin reassembled Bad Religion with [[Circle Jerks]] guitarist [[Greg Hetson]] replacing Gurewitz, who had gone into rehab for his drug problem. Bad Religion returned to a somewhat mellower, [[rock and roll]] version of their original sound with the ''[[Back to the Known]]'' EP. Eventually the band split toward the middle of 1985.
