04-08-2026
Swedish death metallers HYPOCRISY have been forced to cancel their previously announced August 2026 North American tour due to “visa issues”.
The “Mass Hallucination” trek was scheduled to include full headline sets and major support appearances alongside DIMMU BORGIR.
The tour was supposed to launch on August 10 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and conclude on August 23 in Los Angeles, California.
HYPOCRISY released the following statement via social media: “Due to visa issues beyond our control, we won’t be able to make it to the North American tour.
“We’re devastated, and truly sorry — we did everything we could.
“We’re not giving up. We’ll keep working to make this right and get to you as soon as we can!
“Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support!
“If you have questions about refunds, please contact your original ticket seller.”
HYPOCRISY‘s latest album ‘Worship‘, “Worship”, was released last November via Nuclear Blast Records. The 11-track effort was recorded and mixed at frontman Peter 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 extraterrestrials.
“Worship” track listing:
01. Worship
02. Chemical Whore
03. Greedy Bastards
04. Dead World
05. We’re The Walking Dead
06. Brotherhood Of The Serpent
07. Children Of The Gray
08. Another Day
09. They Will Arrive
10. Bug In The Net
11. Gods Of The Underground
This past June, Tägtgren told Metal Injection what fans can expect to hear on “Worship”: “They will get what they want, I think, put it that way. It definitely sounds like HYPOCRISY, I would say. And not in a boring way to say, like, ‘Yeah, we’re just repeating ourselves.’ That’s not really true. It’s new songs. I mean, I have hardly played it to anybody, so I don’t know what to say. Well, whoever heard it, they say oh, this sounds really like HYPOCRISY and really good songs, you know? So I don’t know. We have to wait and see what everybody thinks. I’m in a bubble, so I can’t really say what it is. We don’t really want to change ourselves to nu-metal or try to be commercial or anything like that. I guess we do what we do.”
