Worship

Worship is the thirteenth studio album by Swedish death metal band Hypocrisy. Their first album in 8 years, it was released on 26 November 2021. On that evening, the band presented their fans with a special listening session that featured a video of vinyl being sent up to the stratosphere. The journey was completed on a bespoke launch vehicle that carried and supported the record through the atmosphere. The craft was lifted by a large hydrogen-filled balloon reaching a maximum altitude of over 120,000 feet/36.57 km above the Earth. It fell back down to Earth reaching speeds over 200mph until it re-entered the troposphere (where we all live) where the onboard parachute slowed the craft to a gentle walking pace by the time it touched down. Worship entered the German album charts at #16, the highest entry in the bands career.
