Hypocrisy is a metal band from Sweden. It was formed in 1990 in Stockholm, Sweden. Their style has been described as atmospheric death metal. The lyrics in their early stages were anti-christian/satanic, but are now focused on lyrical themes such as paranormal and aliens. Their current label is Nuclear Blast.

After spending three years in the death metal capital of Tampa Florida, USA, in 1990 founder Peter Tägtgren returned to his homeland of Sweden to form his own band. Hypocrisy's early releases were noted as being well-executed death metal but panned for not being particularly innovative. That criticism waned as the band matured and evolved a more unique sound and introspective lyrical approach. Later releases have a more atmospheric sound with lyrical exploration of aliens and abduction experiences.
