Penetralia is the debut studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band 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.
Lyrical themes explored on the album include antireligion and blasphemy, most notoriously in "God Is a Lie".
