Details: On "Veins of Fire", Deserted Fear have again driven their songwriting, sound, and musical prowess into new territories. While remaining true to their trademarks, riffing and melodies yet also the drumming have been given an update, while vocalist Manuel "Mahne" Glatter extended his range even further. The lyrics on "Veins of Fire" reveal Deserted Fear as a band very much concerned and engaged with the most relevant contemporary issues without any urge to preach or to demand conformity. The songs on this album reflect a world full of insecurity, injustice, and growing divisions. The rise of death metal trio Deserted Fear is both remarkable and thrilling. When the band was founded in the most appropriately named Thuringian city of Eisenberg (Iron Mountain), guitarist and vocalist Manuel "Mahne" Glatter, guitarist and main songwriter as well as producer Fabian Hildebrandt, and drummer Simon Mengs did probably not anticipate to end up at the forefront of the German scene. Their debut album "My Empire", which was produced by Swedish legend Dan Swanö, hit the death metal crowd hard in 2012. Deserted Fear's beastly force, thunderous riffs, pummelling drums, and blood-curdling vocals with an uncanny knack for captivating melodies became immediately apparent. With each new album, the balance shifted steadily to the melodic side, yet the band never lost it's vicious bite. "Kingdom of Worms" (2014), "Dead Shores Rising" (2017), "Drowned by Humanity" (2019), and "Doomsday" (2022) all turned out as impressive milestones of Deserted Fear's still upward moving career. With "Veins of Fire", Deserted Fear open a new chapter in their impressive musical career. Although the respect for their deep death metal roots remains easily audible, the levels of confidence and mastery displayed in the songwriting as well as an avalanche of hooks take "Veins of Fire" up on a new level.
