Resurrections (2025)
Mass Deception
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) entered the band and REDEMPTIONS was released on 19 April 2019 (RVP Records). In 2020, 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 25th 2024, Mass Deception announces their new vocalist: experienced stage animal and power voice John Klaus (Imitallica). The band released their 3rd full length album RESURRECTIONS through GRUESOME RECORDS Portugal on 25 JULY 2025 ... the final part of their trilogy!
“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.”
JOHN KLAUS - vocals
SANDERS - drums
WALTMANS - guitars
BÄNZIGER - guitars
VAN DEN BEUKEN - bass
