and Resistance, Megadeth's Rust in Peace, Dark Angel's Time Does Not Heal, Coroner's Mental Vortex, and Deathrow's Deception Ignored). Reception Victims of Deception has received a positive response from music critics. Adam McCann of Metal Digest called it "one of the most influential technical thrash metal albums of all time", and wrote, "Taking large amounts of progressive metal, Victims of Deception stepped away from the more pure thrash of Breaking the Silence and came up with a masterpiece. Although the band had many personal issues prior to the making of this album, it didn't stop them from producing beast; longer songs, complex time signatures and fantastic musicianship which saw the band stand alongside the likes of Watchtower, Toxik, Metallica and Megadeth with even a cover of Rainbow's 'Kill the King' not even feeling out of place."
