A short entry and backview of HYPOCRISY:

Hailing from the beautiful village of Grangärde, Sweden, the seeds of HYPOCRISY were sown when guitarist Peter Tägtgren and some friends formed a band called CONQUEST back in 1984. Soon after, drummer Lars Szöke joined the team and a demo was recorded within a very short space of time. Early 1988 witnessed the demise of CONQUEST when Peter decided to relocate to America. He spent the follwoing three years in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he would experience the beginnings of the Death Metal movement, that would soon conquer the whole world. This was definitely a revolution that would influence Peter´s work very heavily over the next few years as, consequently, he made his contribution with a few local bands. Somehow they never managed to get a record-deal, so - tired of waiting for the breakthrough - Peter returned home and formed HYPOCRISY.
Peter Tägtgren created Hypocrisy in response to the growing Florida death metal scene. Although it started as a small solo project, eventually Hypocrisy accumulated a full line-up and grew immensely in popularity. The original Hypocrisy sound was somewhat typical sounding grind, but throughout time they have evolved considerably. Their style still contains incredible brutality, but now also utilizes melodies and psychedelic passages. Unfortunately, this has also resulted in an unwarranted reputation as a sell-out.

I just wanted to thank Jeff Brubaker - this site would not be possible without him!
