Rock My Monkey recently conducted an interview with guitarist/vocalist
Peter Tägtgren of Swedish extreme metallers
HYPOCRISY. The chat is now available for streaming using the audio player below.
HYPOCRISY was scheduled to hit the road tomorrow night (November 6) with
ENSIFERUM for a U.S. tour but the band can't get into the country because
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is taking its time processing and authorizing the group's working visas. "This is the first time the band has faced a situation like this and it's extremely frustrating, as well as depressing, since the last thing we want to do is disappoint our loyal fans who have waited years to see us live in the U.S." HYPOCRISY said in a statement.
HYPOCRISY has enlisted
CHILDREN OF BODOM frontman
Alexi Laiho to play guitar on the tour.
Alexi will temporarily fill the currently vacant guitarist spot on the trek, which will also include headliners
BLACKGUARD and
SWASHBUCKLE.
"A Taste Of Extreme Divinity", the new album from
HYPOCRISY, was released in the U.S. on November 3 via
Nuclear Blast Records.
The North American mail-order version of
"A Taste of Extreme Divinity" features three exclusive bonus tracks.
HYPOCRISY's last album,
"Virus", came out in September 2005 via
Nuclear Blast Records.
