Metal maniacs, rejoice! I am proud to present to you: DESERTED FEAR; signed via Centuary Media Records, hailing from the glory of Germany - performing Death Metal, on their 5th full-length album entitled: "Doomsday" (released March 4th, 2022).

Since formation in 2007; the trio in question have 5 full-length albums in their discography so far entitled: "My Empire" (released September 28th, 2012), "Kingdom Of Worms" (released October 24th 2014l, "Dead Shores Rising" (released January 27th, 2017) "Drowned By Humanity" (released February 2nd, 2019), and this here 5th album entitled: "Doomsday" of which I am introduced to. 13 tracks ranging at around 48:48; DESERTED FEAR arrange an intricately designed formula on some heavy-hitting Death Metal developments.

Opening up with an apocalyptic introduction; drum marching remedies enchant eardrums with mystifying melody, this orchestral segment chimes an epic beginning - until the brutal assimilation of amplified distortion, boisterously bouncy revs & shredding rips within "Part Of An End" tramples speakers with blistering harmony from consisting vocalist Manuel Glatter who roars those pipes with yelling shoutiness amongst a gnarly soar of throaty raspiness to boot. His guitar riffing rifts with rampantly rompy stability, nimbly skyrocketing with trailblazing hooks and belting clobbering that surges with volatile rhythm amongst a dexterously dynamic virtuosity on rapidly swift pandemonium, ruthlessly & quintessentially with quaking result. Rollicking with frolicking gallops and blistering snarls, this scouring foundation in a borderline, barrage frenzy executes flamboyantly with monolithic tempo and concretely gritty firepower expertise.

"Idols Of Triumph" grinds with slaying grooves and killer laceration mobility that thunders with sulphurous substance, organically strifing with sturdy thuds amongst a crunchy grip that revolves around a hybrid density on throttling piledrives, amongst a rambunctiously stompy synergy from drumming batterer Simon Mengs. Bulldozing his set with steely precision & rumbling reverberation, trembling mayhem constructs a hammering but experimental finesse on razor-sharp madness within "Follow The Light That Blinds". Smacking cymbals as gravitational crescendos tower with mountainous surges of oppression fuelled flair, utilising vehement strikes that pursuit with primitively raw ramifications on core-like spectrums that relentlessly bellow immensely as guttural growls grunt profusely with robust tightness. Whereas an audible bass flickering from Fabian Hildebrandt injects an infectiously thumpy swerve to it, implementing a chunky boundary on radically wicked yet flexibly fundamental attributes in monstrously meaty manifestations of maelstrom jingles & mellifluously riveting rhythms.

"Fall From Grace" contorts with this momentum wonderfully well, unearthing otherworldly patterns that flow fluidly with tremolo structures & impactful impulse in which merges magnificently with the olympian majesty that tremors with tenormin persistency, salubriously persevering with zestful solidity on slabby cadence. An intruding interlude comes next within "At Its End", nothing but a symphonic synth work gives listeners a brief break until more bludgeoning blitzkrieg within "Reborn Paradise" fabricates a euphonic but ethereal heftiness embedded - arming a brimming but healthy dose of some concordantly but roistering rage that rampages with seamless deathliness. Layering a shrieking shroud of prodigious barbarity and berserking domination in which morphs with metrical, silver-lining conundrums in hymnal-esque flourishments, while "The One Desire" distributes this with vivacious rigour & vigorous upheaval which outbursts with strong yet thrusting empowerment.

"Call Of Emptiness" has a incredibly heavy verse to it, as murmuring rowdiness forges a rugged snare, blending an enriching but arbitrary combustion intertwined with weighty archetypes in archaic tones of doom-like AMON AMARTH traits...while the penultimate banger "Voices Of Fire" bombs with more mythical yet methodical tones of mandatory divinity. Advancing towards the finale epic: "Funeral Of The Earth", as descegrating but dainty effects showcases this unearthly ritual of symbolic retribution & rebellion with technically progressive potency while remaining vibrantly sublime with malicious solemnity to boot.

Bottom line; I am compelled to say that DESERTED FEAR certainly delivered an intriguing creation of meticulous songwriting musicianship that relishes with refreshing yet original craftsmanship abilities that wonder with spectacle veneration exuberantly and prodigally. An enjoyable but entertaining discovery should you fancy a mighty wave of a bestial devastation in your soul to get blood boiling and pumping, worthy of spinning & replaying a good handful of times, do check it out.
