Mirror of Deception - Very Good Doom Metal From Germany

Wow! I am glad I discovered Mirror of Deception a while ago. Mirror of Deception is a German doom metal band that at least I have not heard before, even though they have been in the industry since 1990! Mirror of Deception, formed by guitarists Jochen Fopp and Michaell Siffermann, plays traditional doom metal. Instead of becoming known worldwide, Mirror of Deception have gained a cult underground band status in Germany.

Although Mirror of Deception has been there since the early 90’s, they released their debut album in 2001 (Mirrorsoil), which helped the band get more audience. Their second album Foregone was released in 2004, and the third album Shards in 2006. Mirror of Deception is touring in Germany right now. If you are willing to see Mirror of Deception live, check out the gigs in their website.

Some of the melodies of Mirror of Deception remind me old Amorphis songs. Even though Mirror of Deception is not funeral doom, it reminds me also Shape of Despair, another great doom metal band.

Mirror of Deception lineup includes Michael S. (guitar, vocals), Jochen F. (guitar), Andreas T. (bass) and Jochen M. (drums, vocals). Mirror of Deception provides downloads, so get yourself to their website and download mp3’s, videos, photos and logos as well as covers. Mirror of Deception sounds good. I definitely recommend you to check out this band!
