tagged as European Judas Priest early in the career, the beginnings of phenomenal entity are indeed worth mentioning: Ralf Scheepers parted ways with Gamma Ray and tried his luck becoming JP’s new frontman in mid nineties, and when that did not work out he joined forces with the experienced guitarist Mat Sinner, and thus their collective firmly rooted itself in the soil of German heavy metal, actively manifesting for nearly three decades already: the start of total domination was marked by this explosive debut, a hell-kettle-pounding twelve track longplay [1998], setting an aggressive tone with its steel twin-guitar sound, mastery of soaring high vocals, and straightforward yet highly effective rhythmic drive, allowing Primal Fear to sound like a sincere, expressive, uncompromising metal manifesto with incredible energy and driving dynamics; recent German special deluxe twenty eight page hardcover digibook edition comes with a remastered sound and three bonuses - Accept Breaker cover plus two live versions of album songs nailed in Wacken of 2001
