WORSHIP, Hypocrisy’s new long-expected album is out on November 26, 2021.
After 8 years of silence, the band is ready to present new songs to the public,
starting with the new single and video “Chemical Whore” which are out now!
Hypocrisy has a 30-year history with 12 albums, hundreds of gigs all over the
world, and thousands of fans. This influential Swedish death metal band started
from the will of one person, and this person’s name was (and is) Peter Tägtgren
(Hypocrisy, The Abyss, PAIN, ex-Lindemann). Having made the first demos all by
himself, after getting an offer from Nuclear Blast, he invited musicians to form an
actual band.
Since then, Hypocrisy gained success with their records and rocking live
performances, and evolved musically and conceptually. Heavy and rich sound with
catchy melodic riffs, crushing drum fills, obscure lyrics and versatile vocal parts
became a signature style of the band. Its discography from debut ‘Penetralia’ to the
last for the moment ‘End of Disclosure’, through such legendary albums as ‘The
Fourth Dimension’, ‘Abducted’, and ‘Virus’, is indeed a thrilling metal journey. A
journey that continues.
Today, apart from Peter, the band consists of Mikael Hedlund (bass), who joined
Hypocrisy back in 1991, drummer Reidar ‘Horgh’ Horghagen (since 2004).
Guitarist Thomas Elofsson is a session member since 2013.
Don’t let the name ‘Hypocrisy’ trick you: Peter Tägtgren stays true to himself, to
the music and the fans, never stops creating, and never settles for less than perfect.
