Commonly inspired by the fusion of the modern and the ancient, Hypocrisy have once more found a way to combine innovative ideas with classic sound in order to deliver something metalheads can enjoyably consume with awe and brutal vigor.
As usual, all recording and mixing took place at Tägtgren’s Abyss Studio AB in Sweden while mastering was completed by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers Audio Mastering.
Designed by artist Blake Armstrong (Kataklysm, In Flames, Carnifex), Worship’s artwork speaks to the history of the relationship between humanity and extra-terrestrials. See the cover art below.
Today, the band releases a music video for the first single, Chemical Whore. Watch the music video created by NASTROE Production and Agata Nigrovskaya below:
Peter Tägtgren comments, “We’ve been recording this album here and there for 2 years and now it’s done! Maybe it was waiting for the right time as some songs are even more real now than a couple of years ago. Thank you all for your waiting. We’re really excited to officially announce we’re back!”
Worship is now available to pre-order and pre-save here.
