PRIMAL FEAR

Release Year: 2020
Artist Origin: GER
Style: powerful dynamic catchy heavy metal

seventh album [2007] of seasoned German power/heavy metal masters sees the band carefully drifting away from their typical speedy formula, sort of backing up its title, but please do not go jumping out of window as it is still pretty much traditional, riotous, screamy and aggressive metal PF fans are used to admire all those years from their start in 1997, strengthened by solid drumming of Randy Black [ex.Annihilator], just that the band goes for darker atmosphere in places, using orchestra arrangements which are done in catchy and professional way, ending up as one of their most competent and powerful discs with more diversity on offer; recent German re-issue comes with authentic design and orchestral version of Fighting The Darkness as bonus
