Hypocrisy: new album title, artwork revealed
Hypocrisy, the Swedish extreme metal band led by guitarist/vocalist Peter Tägtgren (also of Pain), has set "A Taste Of Extreme Divinity" as the title of its new album, due on October 23 in Europe via Nuclear Blast Records. Peter states, "I'm at the end of the recording and mixing; a few songs left to sing on. The rest are done mixing-wise. It's just been too busy with touring and recording bands, and I didn't wanna burn myself out totally." He adds, "We're happy [with] the result so far; it got everything a Hypo album should have in our own point of view."Check out the CD cover artwork below.
Hypocrisy will kick off a U.S. tour in support of "A Taste Of Extreme Divinity" on November 5, with Ensiferum as the headliner. A European headlining trek will follow in January 2010.
Hypocrisy reissued its 2002 album "Catch 22" under the title "Catch 22 V2.0.08" in May 2008. Peter Tägtgren re-recorded the guitar parts, his vocals and remixed and remastered the Lp for the new version of the album, which featured bonus material.
The band previously stated about its decision to re-release the CD, "We still think it is a great fucking album but it got slammed and misunderstood because of the vocal style and the drum sound and so on."
Hypocrisy's latest album, "Virus", came out in September 2005 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Hypocrisy's video for the song "Scrutinized" (taken from "Virus") can be viewed below.
