Hypocrisy is a Swedish melodic death metal band, formed in 1990. They released their debut album, Penetralia, in 1992 and have released 11 more full-lengths since then. In my humble opinion, they're all excellent.

Keep in mind that Hypocrisy is no wimpy Gothenburg band. They manage to inject their music with a large dose of melody while still being very heavy. Highly recommended to fans of melodeath, or just death metal in general.

Hypocrisy are fucking awesome.


That is all.
Yea, unlike many dm bands that flirted with and embraced overly melodic elements into their overall sound, I actually never minded much Hypocrisy going down melody avenue, themselves. Sure, they were never some run-of-the-mill Gothenburg melody merchant far removed from real deal death metal. Of course, I'd have preferred them to mostly stick with their style of their early albums (which I still prefer more), but yes, I think Hypocrisy have put out good-to-great albums, right through their career, adeptly adapting and merging straight-up brutality with calibrated injections of melodic metal to keep tons of fans variously content. I'm one of them. Grin
