German melodic death metal trio Deserted Fear have announced their fifth studio album Doomsday, due for release on 4th March 2022 via Century Media Records. The band share the first single from the record and launch pre-orders on 17th December 2021.
“Seemingly driven by the frustration of the never-ending forced break, we have been working on new songs for the last 1.5 years and recorded them in the last weeks,” says drummer Simon Mengs. “It’s hard to believe that we were completely disillusioned and empty-handed in the middle of last year and now we’re holding our most varied and mature record to date in our hands.”
“We recorded again at my Eisensound Studio and this time I also did the mixing and mastering myself,” adds guitarist Fabian Hildebrandt. “The creative freedom on this album was greater than ever, because we could still implement small details and ideas we came up with during mixing. A good preview of what’s to come is given by our recently released 7inch Funeral Of The Earth, whose mix was also a perfect starting point for the album sound, on which I was able to add a few more percent.”
“The album artwork was done by Rio Krisma and he realised our concept perfectly,” concludes vocalist/guitarist Manuel ‘Mahne’ Glatter. “Doomsday is not about the monster created in Superman whose only goal is the destruction of other life forms, but humanity seems to be on its way there and also destroying itself. We have a fucking problem, there’s a lot going wrong socially too and as artists we want to bring attention to it.”
