About Me

Layout Created at Mspremade.comFormed in 1990, MIRROR OF DECEPTION are one of Europe`s longest running Doom Metal bands. Initially, the band was inspired by the forefathers of the genre such as SABBATH, CANDLEMASS, ST. VITUS, TROUBLE etc., but over the years they have created their own niche, shaping their own unmistakable style. Channelling grass roots HEAVINESS through dark winter melancholy and despair, MIRROR OF DECEPTION write their own rules far away from clichÃ©s often (and falsely) associated with classic Doom Metal such as one dimensional tempos and recycled SABBATH lyrics. The band has released several demos, EPs, an album entitled "Mirrorsoil" (The Miskatonic Foundation) and the second full-length "Foregone" (Final Chapter Rec.) has been released in September 2004.The third album, "Shards" is available since October 2006 on Cyclone Empire.

"Vanished" performed live at Doom Shall Rise III in April 2005
