Biography

Feigning to be what one is not is something Renaissance man Peter Tägtgren can never be accused of. A living embodiment of music (who has also appeared in three films and written music for one), Tägtgren 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, Marduk) linking him to ... Read more in Amazon's Hypocrisy Store

Editorial Reviews

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great Hypocrisy release November 19, 2009
Format:Audio CD
I think this is a superior album to their last three or four. Maybe it deserves a higher score than the four I gave but it's not perfect like The Final Chapter. It is, however, better than almost any metal I've heard this year, definitely on my top ten list. This album is a better investment than the new Slayer. It's crushing in it's heaviness. It has Peter's trademark production. There's also a variety of melodies, and tempos going on here that hold the album together well. Sometimes it's black metallish, and others it's like a Metallica, or Megadeth chorus. Quit buying mall metal and get this!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best thing i've heard all year November 3, 2009
By Rob
Format:Audio CD
before this came out, behemoth's "evangelion" or the black dahlia murder's "deflorate" was the best thing i heard this year. even with my bias toward hypocrisy i wasn't sure how they could top those two monster albums. but with the first listen to this modern classic i was pleasantly surprised to hear not only the best thing of 2009 but, probably the best hypocrisy album yet (even though "virus" and the "self titled" are some notable high points).

there is a crushing sound that really calls back to the early days of hypocrisy (before peter was on vox) and a mix of everything since that really pulls together for something that is in one word...Amazing. before this album i really dug hypocrisy's penchant for mid tempo songs(see "abducted" or "the final chapter"), but with this new offering (the bands 11th in case anyone didn't know), they are completely "full speed ahead". at times sounding "black metallish" thanks in part to relative new comer "horgh" (of immortal fame). furious rhythms and blinding double bass are very prevalent on this album only slowing down on a few tracks like, "global domination" and "the quest", bringing back that mid tempo pacing that really sets this band apart from other death metal acts. songs like "weed out the weak" and "valley of the damned" are out of the gate head banger's, making these two the bench mark for this release.

i cant say enough good things about this one, but i'm bias toward hypocrisy and to that effect peter tagtren in general. his side project/second band "pain" (more of an industrial/tech/heavy metal sound) is a really good band as well as his quick black metal outfit "the abyss". not to mention his various guest appearances on other records bloodbath's "nightmares made flesh" stands out the most and lock up's "pleasures pave sewers". if you're really into death metal, then this is a must buy. if you're already a hypocrisy fan...your mind was made up already.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Really Versatile Record From Hypocrisy November 6, 2009
By Michael
Format:Audio CD
When you open the jewel case for the cd, you'll notice the fan dedication on the back of the booklet. Take that as an invitation to destruction as you pop the disc in because as it starts, the band blasts right out of the gates and through the speakers. Peter Tägtgren and co. definitely know how to keep things fresh and heavy, and by making an album such as this that blends a lot of the sounds from their previous albums (Abducted, Final Chapter, Self-Titled, Into The Abyss, Catch 22, The Arrival, and Virus), things are really fresh to say the least. It's almost like a hybrid of all those albums with the production quality of Virus. If you're a fan looking for a little variety from Hypocrisy, this cd is perfect. If you're new, it's a perfect cd to start with.
