Started at the beginning of the decade, Peter Tägtgren created Hypocrisy in response to the growing Florida death metal scene. Although it started as a small solo project, eventually Hypocrisy accumulated a full line-up and grew immensely in popularity. The original Hypocrisy sound was somewhat typical sounding grind, but throughout time they have evolved considerably. Their style still contains incredible brutality, but now also utilizes melodies and psychedelic passages. Unfortunately, this has also resulted in an unwarranted reputation as a sell-out. With the release of their latest CD, "The Final Chapter," rumor was that Hypocrisy had broken up so that Peter Tägtgren could pursue his side project, known as Pain. Fortunately, this decision has been reversed and Hypocrisy is preparing for another release.
