From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Osculum Obscenum is the second studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Hypocrisy, released in 1993. The cover artwork was created by Wes Benscoter. Osculum Obscenum was re-released in 1996 as a digipak with bonus tracks and a photo of the band line-up from that year with Mikael Hedlund, Peter Tägtgren and Lars Szöke. The album was since reissued multiple times alongside the band's other earlier death metal albums, resulting in mildly positive reviews.[4][5][6]
