Biography

Along with Dawn of Winter, Mirror of Deception is Germany's longest running traditional doom act. The band was formed by guitarist Jochen Fopp (also founder and owner of the Doom Shall Rise festival) and guitarist/vocalist Michael Siffermann.

Mirror of Deception were unsigned during the 90s (except when releasing the EP titled Veil of Lead), they achieved cult underground status in their homeland. Demo's recorded during this time were later released on the Past & Present compilation.

Their debut album Mirrorsoil was released 2001. After its release and tour, Mirror of Deception parted ways with original singer Markus Baumhauer, being replaced by guitarist Michael Siffermann. The band soon got signed to Richard Walker's (ex- Sore Throat, Solstice) label The Miskatonic Foundation and in 2003 released the EP Conversion.

Compilations
  • Past & Present, 2001 (self-released)
gollark: I should learn Python so that I can understand the cool Python submissions.
gollark: LyricLy will be done by 2026, since we rescheduled 2025 for 2094.
gollark: Fun idea (if it gets done in the next round it is !!NOT ME!!): implement [BEE LANGUAGE] in C, Java and Python, and make a polyglot of all those interpreters, and write the actual submission logic in [BEE LANGUAGE].
gollark: Yes, a "based" (pH > 8) implementation would implement actual forth and use that.
gollark: I definitely need you to reverse engineer #3, since I didn't write it, so do that.
