Wow. Has it really been four years since Peter Tägtgren got it together to make a Hypocrisy album? I guess the time went quickly because a) as I get older and closer to death time seems to pass faster and b) the dude has done so many side-projects and guest appearances (Bloodbath, that Nuclear Blast All-Stars thing, etc.) that he’s never really been out of the headlines (There was also that Catch 22 semi-re-recording, which, like most re-recordings, was pretty much ill advised.).

In any case, Hypocrisy finally have a new album coming out. It’s called A Taste of Extreme Divinity, and it’ll be released on October 23 on Nuclear Blast.

If nothing else, the cover art is fucking metal.

    its funny that both of these bands are signed to nuclear blast.

    Can’t wait! Although, I disagree with you. Re-recording Catch 22 was a GREAT idea since the original one blew so hard.

      exactly! the pictures arent really similar in the details, but it definitely has the same kind of arrangement.

  • Mike

    It reminds me even more of Morgana Lefay covers.

      Yeah it looks a lot like Kristian Wåhlin’s work. He did the Morgana Lefat covers.

      It reminds me of the Death… Is Just The Beginning comps that Kristian did as well..
