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, guitarist and vocalist Manuel 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 metal crowd hard in 2012. Critical acclaim and enthusiastic reactions from the fans provided an excellent starting point for DESERTED FEAR. With each new album, the balance shifted steadily to the melodic side, yet the band never lost its 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.

The Germans also worked hard to acquire a reputation as an excellent live act. More than 250 shows across Europe, headlining and in support of such iconic acts as OBITUARY, AT THE GATES, MORBID ANGEL, DARK TRANQUILLITY, OVERKILL, and INSOMNIUM among many others speak volumes.

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.
