Background information about 'The Deceived'

Dutch death metal squadron Dictated delivers a crushing blow with their debut full-length that showcases the raw power and technical prowess of the European extreme metal scene. Featuring the legendary Henri Sattler and Michiel van der Plicht from God Dethroned and Winter Of Sin, this album packs ten tracks of relentless brutality that will leave you gasping for air. From the atmospheric intro "Forced Into Dismay" to the bone-crushing finale "Rail Of Death", every moment is crafted with surgical precision and delivered with devastating impact.

The album's centerpiece "The Deceived" demonstrates the band's ability to blend melodic sensibilities with crushing heaviness, while tracks like "No Mercy For Cowards" and "The Basher" showcase their talent for creating memorable hooks within a framework of pure aggression. The production is crisp and powerful, allowing every blast beat, tremolo-picked riff, and guttural vocal to cut through with crystal clarity. This is death metal that respects tradition while pushing boundaries, creating an experience that's both familiar and refreshingly intense.

God Dethroned, Asphyx, Hail Of Bullets, Bolt Thrower, Dismember
