Mass Deception Announce New Album Resurrections + Premiere Lead Single “Selling Souls! Buying Lies!” via Decibel Magazine
Dutch heavy metal force Mass Deception is back to complete the saga they began in 2015. Their long-awaited third full-length album, Resurrections, will be unleashed on July 25 via Gruesome Records, arriving on CD, vinyl, and digital formats.
Premiering via Decibel Magazine, the lead single “Selling Souls! Buying Lies!” offers a blistering preview of the chaos to come. Decibel writes: “…these dudes—John Klaus (vocals), Sanders (drums), Waltmans (guitars), Bänziger (guitars), Van Den Beuken (bass)—thrash through a punky blitzkrieg of a track with a warning worth heeding: you probably shouldn’t sell your soul. It never ends well.”

Guitarist Bänziger had this to say about the track: “It doesn’t matter if you are looking for fame or fortune, women and wealth, or if you are just an old soul seeking redemption. Old Nick can help you out! A small sacrifice is all he asks for in return. There are many ways to desecrate a soul and evil comes in many forms, but even the devil himself fears this ancient cosmic malevolence. Harvesting souls is nothing compared to the power of this interstellar titan.”
Formed in the Netherlands with a bold vision to craft a trilogy of conceptually linked albums, Mass Deception laid the groundwork with Revelations (2016) and Redemptions (2019), followed by the EP Halls of Amenti (2022). Now, Resurrections closes the book and slams it shut with crushing intensity.
Following several line-up changes over the years, the band has now locked in a steel-solid formation, uniting members from legendary acts like Asphyx, God Dethroned, Cirith Gorgor, and Inhume. The result is a record that brims with technical precision, blistering riffs, and an unrelenting passion for pure metal.
The album was mixed and mastered at the renowned Soundlodge Studios (Anvil, Suicidal Angels, God Dethroned, Dew-Scented), capturing the band at their most ferocious and focused yet.
And for the purists: no AI, no MIDI drums, no shortcuts. Just raw, honest, thunderous heavy metal, forged the hard way.
