Artist Info: Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy is a Swedish death metal band formed in October 1991 in Ludvika by Peter Tägtgren. After spending three years in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1990, founder Peter Tägtgren returned to his homeland of Sweden, to form his own band.

That criticism waned as the band matured, cultivating a more distinctive sound as well as employing an introspective lyrical approach. [read more...]
