With governments finally admitting that UFOs do in fact exist, and humanity attempting to heal from a state of the recent crisis, the timing couldn’t be more appropriate for the newest addition to the Hypocrisy catalog: “Worship”. Nuclear Blast Records. Today, the band releases the music video for the first single, “Chemical Whore“. Watch the music video created by NASTROE Production and Agata Nigrovskaya below in the article.
“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!”– Peter Tägtgren

It has been 8 long years since the last record, and Hypocrisy fans can feel the itch. “Worship” is 11 tracks of precise, ferocious musicianship. Commonly inspired by the fusion of the modern and the ancient, Hypocrisy has 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 etc.), “Worship”’s artwork speaks to the history of the relationship between humanity and extraterrestrials.
Below is the “Worship” tracklist:
