DESERTED FEAR “My Empire”

DESERTED FEAR
“My Empire”
(FDA REKOTZ)
Old school death metal should really be called something different. But for the sake of making it easy to maneuver through all the sub-genre of death metal we’ll stick with old school as a way of describing a sound. Deserted Fear are new to me but from what I’ve read about them I know that this will be right up my alley. I can’t seem to get enough of that old Autopsy/Nihilist/Entombed sound. This is just as cool as I’d imagined it to be. Death metal that is so murky and dark that you’d expect it to fall to pieces any minute. This is the real zombie metal. This must be what it is like to be trapped in that cabin in the woods in Evil Dead. Death all over the place and nowhere to hide. No escape from the inevitable. Deserted Fear has managed to take an old sound and create something new and interesting with it. Cudos to the band for being adventurous. Anders Ekdahl
