Written between 1976 and 1983, Lords of Hypocrisy captures Pagan Altar at the crossroads of heavy metal and doom, delivering a dark and macabre sound centered around mankind’s inhumanity and its inevitable downfall. The songs carry the weight and atmosphere that have long defined the band’s cult status, while retaining a strong heavy-rocking character.
Originally issued by the now-defunct Temple of Mystery Records, this edition brings the album back into circulation as part of Dying Victims Productions’ ongoing work to make Pagan Altar’s essential back catalogue available again. Another crucial piece of the British doom metal pioneers’ legacy.
Released by:
Dying Victims Productions (Germany), 2026.
