''Deceiver'' is the debut full-length album by metalcore band The Word Alive. It was released on August 31, 2010 through Fearless Records. The title derives from a passage of lyrics within the chorus of the song "The Wretched". With anticipation of the album following up to their critically acclaimed EP ''Empire'', the band promoted the album for several months until leading to its release. It was produced by Andrew Wade and is the first and only release by the band with drummer Justin Salinas, yet final with bassist Nicholas Urlacher and keyboardist, Dusty Riach. A deluxe edition of the record was released on June 7, 2011 and features bonus content consisting of four remixed tracks along with two previously unreleased songs and the music videos for the songs "2012" and "The Wretched". ==Background== With anticipation of their full-length debut album after releasing the EP, ''Empire'' during the previous year, The Word Alive began work on ''Deceiver'' after several US tours. It was recorded during April 2010 in Ocala, Florida with producer Andrew Wade. Guitarist, Zack Hansen explained that "The tracking was a lot of fun and everyone had a good time."〔http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=61982351&blogId=536539663〕 Tyler "Telle" Smith noted that "We wanted to step it up in every aspect of our songs compared to ''Empire''. When we're heavy, it's heavier. When we do things big, they are huge! When we slow it down, it's something beautiful."〔http://www.lambgoat.com/news/view.aspx?id=14312〕 "Epiphany" was released as the album's first single where it was premiered online. The second single, "The Hounds of Anubis" premiered on the ''Revolver'' website.〔http://www.revolvermag.com/music/detail/exclusive-the-word-alive-premiere-the-hounds-of-anubis/〕 The album features a re-recording of the song "Battle Royale", originally featured as the opening track for ''Empire''. The final track for ''Empire'' ("How to Build an Empire") is referenced in a line of lyrics found within the song "Consider It Mutual".
