Bio:

Thuringia´s DESERTED FEAR are one of the best and most talented death metal bands from Germany, crafting their vision passionately and merciless since 2008. Their debut album "My Empire" (2012) blew up a lot of dust, DESERTED FEAR are on their way to become one of the most important forces in the European metal scene. Germany´s ROCK HARD magazine praised the album as "...simply amazing how the whole albums offers it´s permanent hit potential. If it´s allowed to say so within the death metal world. Great start!”DESERTED FEAR combine the sound of Swedish death metal with US old school death metal to create their very own, modern sound, without losing heavyness and authenticity. The band also caused some dropped jaws and destroyed the place on festivals such as Summer Breeze, Party San Open Air and Extremefest.DESERTED FEAR are now back with their new album "Kingdom of Worms", which was recorded in June and July 2014 once more at Eisensound Studio in Eisenberg (Thuringia / Germany) under the knife of guitarist Fabian Hildebrandt. Mixing and Mastering duties have been handled by legendary Dan Swanö (Edge Of Sanity, Bloodbath, etc.), who put the finishing touches on "Kingdom of Worms" in his very own Unisound Studio.

Album:

Deserted Fear, which originated from the Thuringia region of Germany and has been frequently mentioned in the death metal scene since the 2010s, is now back with their sixth studio album Veins of Fire. This album, which came after a three-year hiatus, shows that the band has remained loyal to its roots and taken bold steps in the axis of melodic death metal. However, things are a little different this time.Deserted Fear left Century Media, where they had been working for a long time, and moved under the roof of Testimony Records. This change brought about not only a label change but also a small but effective transformation in musical identity. Recorded and mixed by the band's guitarist Fabian Hildebrandt, the album leaves a warmer, more organic and intense sound in our ears.The album cover is also a visual indicator of this change. The band and album's name in poisonous green on a black background, with a brutalist snake and a crown of thorns design in the middle... A minimal but striking aesthetic. The cover design was prepared by Italian artist Roberto Toderico and perfectly complements the dark atmosphere of the album.Veins of Fire offers a much more distinct melodic structure compared to the band's previous albums. The crushing darkness of Doomsday has given way to a more fluid, more melodic, and at times more "hopeful" tone. The album opens with Into the Burning Lands: a powerful but not up-tempo piece; rather an introduction woven with deep melodic layers. With this choice, Deserted Fear slowly draws the listener into the atmosphere of the album instead of making a direct, explosive opening. With "The Truth", the album enters a more distinct melodic death metal route. Its melody is impressive, its tempo is balanced, and its chorus is strong. The song's tempo changes and guitar riffs, in particular, bear the traces of the Gothenburg school.Throughout the album, Deserted Fear uses the speed and aggression dose in a controlled manner. Especially tracks such as "Storm of Resistance", "Blind", "Embrace the Void" and "Echoes In The Silence" show how successfully the band blends melody with harshness. However, for those who expect extreme speed throughout the album, a structure that progresses at a medium tempo prevails in this work of Deserted Fear.The production of the album is quite professional, despite the fact that it was done by the band's own means. The guitars are at the center of the album; riffs are lively, melodies are layered and solos are clear. However, the drums sometimes fall further back in the mix. This may be a bit lacking for those who want the bass drum to be heard in a full and dominant way, especially in fast sections. The bass guitar is not very prominent in the overall mix, but it plays an important role in ensuring the fluidity of the songs.Manuel Glatter's vocals are determined and strong as always. The growls are harsh, the brutal tones are balanced and contribute to the dramatic structure of the songs when necessary.As some critics have also stated, the tempo of the album can be a bit too monotonous at times. Especially the lack of fast parts and the fact that the excessive melodic structure loses its surprising effect after a certain point may give some listeners the feeling of "lack of energy". It can also be said that there are no songs that we can truly call "great hits" in Veins of Fire. However, Deserted Fear's shift to a more modern and melancholic line compared to their previous albums adds a new depth and ripeness to the band.Deserted Fear enters a new turn in its career with Veins of Fire. This album will please not only melodic death metal fans but also a wide range of metal listeners. Although some parts lack dynamism, the album has a strong, passionate and impressive structure as a whole.A great album for melodic death metal lovers. It may be a bit slow for those looking for speed and chaos. A different but satisfying experience for old Deserted Fear listeners. It has a structure that gets better with repeated listens.
