Hypocrisy

A prolific and influential Swedish heavy metal group that explores themes like the occult, conspiracy theories, astrobiology, societal unrest, and mental illness, Hypocrisy emerged in the early '90s with a sound rooted in uncompromising traditional death metal. As the decades progressed, the band adopted a more melodic, though no less punitive sound, which they applied with extreme prejudice on career highlights like Hypocrisy (1999), Virus (2005), End of Disclosure (2013), and Worship (2021).
