Feigning to be what one is not is something which Renaissance man Peter Tagtgren can never be accused. Tagtgren, a living embodiment of music, has been a central and active figure in the extreme metal movement for over a decade. With a list of Abyss Studio production credits (Dimmu Borgir, Immortal, Amon Amarth) linking him to some of the most groundbreaking albums of recent times and rightfully hailed by Alternative Press as the Rick Rubin of Scandinavian metal, the restless genius of the Hypocrisy mainman can be equally measured by the vast list of his own musical output. The latest fruit of his labor shows the band firing on all cylinders. A much-needed rest and a renewed love for all things death metal give the successor to 2005's Virus an injection of brutality and strength that show the vigor and melodic power this trio possess. With Immortal's legendary drummer Horgh the stars have aligned, and Hypocrisy will conquer!
