Deceiver are a solo project from Singapore that plays a very aggressive and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of his self released 2025 album "It Must Be Done".
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the songs also add in a lot of old school influences and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some of the songs also adding in a small amount of acoustic guitars and clean playing, clear vocals can also be heard on a few tracks and there are also a couple of instrumentals.
Deceiver plays a style of black metal that is very melodic and aggressive sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover storytelling through allegories using different mediums.
In my opinion Deceiver are a very great sounding aggressive and melodic black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Higherfall" and "Resolve of The Bowed Head". 8 out of 10.
