On "Veins of Fire", Deserted Fear have again driven their songwriting, sound, and musical prowess into new territories. While remaining true to their trademarks, riffing and melodies yet also the drumming have been given an update, while vocalist Manuel "Mahne" Glatter extended his range even further. The lyrics on "Veins of Fire" reveal Deserted Fear as a band very much concerned and engaged with the most relevant contemporary issues without any urge to preach or to demand conformity. The songs on this album reflect a world full of insecurity, injustice, and growing divisions. The rise of death metal trio Deserted Fear is both remarkable and thrilling.

World On Fire features Citizen Cope on the feel-good track “Summertime,” Slightly Stoopid is featured on the title track, “World On Fire” and longtime Stick Figure friend and writing partner TJ O’Neill appears on the transcendent “Angels Above Me.”
From the vaults of Atlantic, Atco, Cotillion, Reprise & Warner Brothers, highlighting the period 1968-75. A selection of Warner Brothers-related funk – but featuring some killer numbers that move way past the hits! This is one of the funkiest compilations we've ever heard from a major label – and it's proof that deep down in their catalogs, the majors were working just as hard as the indies to come up with some killer slabs of funk, as you'll hear in this set of 20 gems recorded between the years 1968 and 1974! Many of these numbers were only issued on 45s – or on long out of print LPs – and even though there's a few numbers on here that you may know, the set's also got a number of others that you probably don't, as it even surprised us with some of its funky goodies!
