Hypocrisy is a pioneering force in the death metal scene, with roots tracing back to the early 90s in Ludvika, Sweden. Founded by frontman and guitarist Peter Tägtgren, the band has evolved their sound and lineup over the years while maintaining a reputation for blistering musicianship and thematic depth that delves into the realms of the dark and existential. Known for its blending of atmospheric elements with the aggression of death metal, Hypocrisy has garnered a dedicated following around the world.

Throughout their career, Hypocrisy has shown a commitment to both musical evolution and a consistency in quality, as evidenced by their extensive discography. After their initial pure death metal releases, they began incorporating melodic and atmospheric elements, which has become a hallmark of their sound. Key releases like "Virus" and "The Arrival" solidify their place in the annals of metal. Their 2021 release, "Worship", continues the tradition of delivering a powerful and polished sonic experience that never strays far from the brutal honesty and technical skill that their fans have come to expect. With live offerings such as "Hell over Sofia - 20 Years of Chaos and Confusion" demonstrating their potent stage presence, Hypocrisy has solidified their legacy as both studio pioneers and compelling live performers in the metal community.
