Penetralia is the first album by Hypocrisy, released in 1992. The cover artwork was created by Dan Seagrave. The digipak reissue contains two bonus tracks: "Life of Filth" (from Death....Is Just the Beginning II) and "Lead by Satanism". The album was since reissued multiple times alongside the band's other earlier death metal albums, resulting in mixed-to-positive reviews.
