HYPOCRISY PREACH THE ART OF WAR

When your goal is a calculated sonic assault upon every major city in the U.S. and Canada, there are few stategists who can ensure victory in battle.

Armed with the reputation of their punishing live shows, an album that ranked in as one of the Top Albums of 2005, and the wisdom of a fifteen-year career, it's no surprise that HYPOCRISY's tried-and-true methodology for devastation has been drafted for the upcoming Machines At War tour with L.A.'s Fear Factory, New York's Suffocation, and Poland's Decapitated - set to launch in San Francisco this October 26th.

Hailing from Sweden and praised by Guitar One Magazine for "cramming maximum hurt into each track" on their latest release, Virus, The Machines At War North American tour is more significant to singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer Peter Taegtgren than most can imagine.

"Fear Factory are close to our hearts," reveals Taegtgren from his small village home. "Soul Of A New Machine was the influence for me to start my other project, Pain. What people don't realize is that the first tour HYPOCRISY ever did back in 1993 was with them and Cannibal Corpse in Europe. They've really done a lot for us to make this tour possible, so yeah, we're looking forward to giving everything we've got while we're up on stage. It doesn't matter if there are 50, 200, or 500 people in the audience. We're ready to give everything every night."

With four savage bands, forty fated shows, and thirty-nine doomed cities, ground zero will soon be arriving at your backdoor. "When doing battle," cited Sun-tzu centuries ago in his book The Art Of War, "seek a quick victory." The conquests that await HYPOCRISY in the mosh pits will be stained with just enough blood to ensure that their mission to annihilate is complete.
