UMUR
"Unmask the Hypocrisy" is a one-track single release by German death/thrash metal act Messticator. The single was independently release in digital format in August 2022, just a few weeks prior to the release of the band´s debut full-length studio album "Forthcoming Revelation", where "Unmask the Hypocrisy" appears as song number 4 on the tracklist. It´s obviously a teaser release to promote the release of "Forthcoming Revelation".

Although Messticator are from Germany, they don´t use many elements which are usually associated with German heavy metal and thrash metal. Instead they are more influenced by US thrash metal and melodic death metal like The Black Dahlia Murder and At the Gates. They are a well playing band and perform the music with both great skill and conviction. The vocals vary between aggressive shouting/semi-growling and higher pitched screaming vocals. "Unmask the Hypocrisy" is a song representing the sound of "Forthcoming Revelation" pretty well. It´s one of the more death metal oriented tracks of the full-length album, but the opening riff is thrash metal oriented while the vers and the chorus lean more towards melodic death metal. It´s a powerful and quite memorable track, which is also very well produced. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
