Band Of The Week

 
Mass Deception is founded in 2015.

The band began with a vision to create a trilogy of albums: Revelations, Redemptions, Resurrections.

The original lineup featured the guitar duo Bänziger and Waltmans, drummer Søren, bassist Van den Beuken, and vocalist Janssen. Their debut album, "Revelations", was released in 2016 (RVPrecords).

In 2018, vocalist Stockbroeks (Powervice, Stormrider) entered the band and "Redemptions" was released on 19 April 2019 (RVP Records). Shortly after, Mass Deception introduced Sanders on drums (Asphyx, Inhume, God Dethroned) and the band started working on a 4-track EP 'Halls of Amenti' (Lion Music, 14 January 2022), which is a prelude to "Resurrections".

August 2024, Mass Deception announces their new vocalist: experienced stage animal and power voice John Klaus (Imitallica).

Their 3rd full length album "Resurrections" - the final part of their long awaited trilogy - was released by Gruesome Records on 25 July 2025.

“Averse to commercial motives. Fiercely opposed to metal as a pop culture. Rejecting the competitive world of music. Not piggybacking on trends. Straight through the middle.”
