Hypocrisy
Bio
For over thirty years, Hypocrisy and Swedish multi-instrumentalist and producer Peter Tägtgren have steered a stubborn course in the world of melodic death metal.
Few musicians have made a bigger mark on the evolution of extreme metal than this trailblazer. Tägtgren divides his time between Hypocrisy, his industrial metal project PAIN and The Abyss, and as a producer he has helped pave the road to fame for numerous bands. Consistency is one of Hyprocrisy’s standout qualities. ‘End of Disclosure’ (2013) is a good place to start if you’re not familiar with their work: pummelling death metal riffs, melodic lead guitars, furious stick work and lyrics that betray Tägtgren’s obsession with ufology and all things extraterrestrial. Factor in the album’s eerie atmosphere and you’ve got one of their best offerings to date. ‘Worship’ hit the shelves in 2021 and conjures the brand of melodeath emotion Tägtgren is famous for. Hypocrisy feel most at home on stage, as they illustrated here in 2023. We can’t wait!
