THE FIRST NEW HYPOCRISY ALBUM IN FOUR YEARS!

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.

i have seen this album cover before. http://mishkanyc.com/bloglin/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/mantic-ritual-executionar.jpg
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.
One of my favorite bands and very much anticipated in my mind. Excited to hear it!
Youhoooo! Shit that cover is metal, reminds me of their earlier albums. I just can’t wait. Hell october isn’t so far off.
FINALLY!!! It was about ficking time!
The cover reminds me A LOT of Whoracle
exactly! the pictures arent really similar in the details, but it definitely has the same kind of arrangement.
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..
Oh, man !!! Great news, can’t wait for that one to come out ! f#$@ METAL !
FUCK YES. Its about time i got some new hypocrisy. this also means TOUR.
Kicks off in the US the first week of November. The only other confirmed band is Ensiferum.
Ruination and a Higher Place seem to be ahh how you say…below this websites radar, is it? Breakin’ my balls metalsucks!
The artwork reminds me of this one from Tulsa grindgore kings DIVINE PUSTULENCE.
