Biography

Ludvika, Sweden (1990 – present)

The Swedish band Hypocrisy was formed by Peter Tägtgren in 1990 upon his return to Sweden from Florida, where he had been inspired by that state’s flourishing death metal scene (bands like Morbid Angel, Deicide, Death and Obituary).

Hypocrisy’s first demo was recorded entirely by Tägtgren himself; once it secured him a record deal, he recruited a lineup of Masse Broberg (Vocals), Jonas Österberg (Guitar), Mikael Hedlund (Bass) and Lars Szöke (Drums), while he himself settled on guitar. This lineup released “Penetralia in 1992, upon which point Österberg left the group. “Obsculum Obscenum” appeared in 1993, and Broberg subsequently departed as well, with Tägtgren assuming vocal duties. Thus reconstituted as a power trio, Hypocrisy began to hit its stride, recording The Fourth Dimension (1994), Abducted (1996), and “The Final Chapter” (1997); in the meantime, Tägtgren developed an alternate career as a producer, working with bands like Dimmu Borgir, Immortal and Dark Funeral. Hypocrisy officially disbanded following the release of “The Final Chapter”; however, fan interest persuaded Tägtgren to reconsider the breakup, and the live album “Hypocrisy Destroys Wacken 1998” was released in early 1999 as a precursor of things to come. The new album “Hypocrisy” followed shortly thereafter and “Into The Abyss” was released in mid-2000.

    They're re-releasing penetralia and osculum ! ! As long as they re-record it 10yrs style (instead of something like Catch 22 (V2.0.08) style), I think it'll be something pretty legendary. :D

    Everything Hypocrisy has done other than Catch 22 is awesome. Catch 22 is the only one I'd consider mediocre.

    this band has a lot of thrash in it, some of their riffs sound very similar to kreators.

    I prefer my metal with flavors of gothic/industrial/thrash/heavy but this band has got talent and I love it!

    oceangypsy it has nothing to do with christians and everything to do with the band members not being aware of the workload their government is experiencing (which they cannot be blamed for anyhow). anyway hypocrisy comes to america nearly every other year.
