State of Deceit released their debut EP 'Retribution' just before the world stopped with Covid. It combines their love of heavy music, the intense live scene and lyrical issues important to them.. It mixes thrash, groove, metalcore and heavy metal together with a fresh sound recorded at Long Wave Studios with Romesh Dodangoda. The band have refined their craft on the road playing shows all over Wales and England.

State of Deceit create their music from a desire to play fast heavy music, call out the bullsh*t they see around them and create some body slamming action in the pits. As Musipedia Of Metal commented 'Although still in their infancy, Retribution is an EP of such massive stature that you could easily be forgiven for thinking that State Of Deceit were entering their second decade as a band.'

The band mix distorted guitars, thumping drums, with clean and growling vocals, taking influences from many metal bands e.g. Pantera, Fit for a King, Slayer, MH, Wage War, KSE, Architects, Arch Enemy, Trivium etc...

The trials of Covid have meant a slight reshuffle of members and a strengthening of the live sound, now being the long desired five piece. With the changes complete, State of Deceit have written and recorded an album at Sonic One studios with Tim Hamill in July. With this complete the band are busy getting ready for the release in the next few months. Read more on Last.fm.
