By releasing two new tracks - “Funeral Of The Earth” and “Artifacts Of The Black Rain”, a cover of the classic In Flames song - German melodic death metal force Deserted Fear already gave a promising foretaste of what to expect from their next full-length album, which can now proudly be announced.

Entitled Doomsday, it marks the group’s fifth studio album, and it was recorded, mixed and mastered by Deserted Fear guitarist Fabian Hildebrandt at Eisensound Studio and will be released on March 4 via Century Media Records, with a pre-order campaign starting on December 17, when a first single and video for the album will also be debuted.

Deserted Fear checked in with the following comments about Doomsday:

Simon: "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. 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."

Fabian: "We recorded again at my Eisensound Studio and this time I also did the mixing and mastering myself. 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."

Manuel: "The album artwork was done by Rio Krisma and he realized our concept perfectly. “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."
