"River of Deceit" is the first single by grunge band Mad Season off their only album Above. It is their most well known song as it received substantial radio play throughout the 90s. Although the single was released to radio across North America, Europe and the world, it was only commercially available in Australia. Nonetheless "River of Deceit" reached #2 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart as well as #9 on its Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1995.

The music video of River of Deceit is the only music video the band released. It can be found on the concert video "Live at the Moore" at the end of the tape.
