Undeceived is the second LP and third studio release by Norwegian Christian metal band Extol. It was released in 2000 on Solid State Records. It was re-released in 2002 on Century Media.

The Metal Observer writes that the album's sound combines the heaviness of traditional death metal with emotional elements, partly a bit abstract, technical song-structures, a portion of melodies and some violin, and power metal influenced clean vocals in contrast with the high-pitched deathgrowls. The same source desribes Uncedeived as "demanding music" and "brilliant" with "phenomemal instrumental talents."[1]
