Power Metal fans, unite! Here it is, the latest release from Primal Fear, released via Atomic Fire Records on September 1st, 2023. “Code Red” marks their fourteenth album, a truly impressive milestone. The new sound continues in the same vein as their previous works, ensuring that fans won’t be disappointed. The album brings the energy Primal Fear has honed into their unique style, which one can readily identify as their own artistic signature.

PRIMAL FEAR are Germany’s metal band of the hour, again. Right now however, they want to show us something new, a different side to them - after releasing a string of heavy and hard-hitting singles from “Metal Commando”, mastermind Mat Sinner and vocal force Ralf Scheepers have something extraordinary up their sleeves; a 5-track single, built around an exclusive new rendition of their achingly beautiful ballad ‘I Will Be Gone’, re-recorded with none other than Finnish metal diva extraordinaire, Tarja Turunen. The song, fragile and touching, gets an altogether new and deeply melancholic vibe with Tarja’s unbelievably emotional performance, showcasing a different facet of PRIMAL FEAR. Yet, it’s not the only gift they deliver on this 5-track sensation - just take ‘Vote Of No Confidence’ for example, an all-new, previously unreleased beast of a song. Clocking in at over six minutes, this storming, furious anthem gives a brilliant glimpse of things to come. Previously only available as bonus tracks on the limited “Metal Commando” digipack, three more tracks complete this release; enchanting guitar instrumental ‘Rising Fear’, massive mid-tempo smasher ‘Leave Me Alone’, and heavy metal monument ‘Second To None’, making ‘I Will Be Gone’ so much more than just another off shoot of a successful album.

German power metal band Primal Fear issue 13th full-length studio album Metal Commando on July 24th, 2020 through Nuclear Blast Records. Bassist and producer Mat Sinner commented: “I don’t want to throw around superlatives, but each of us went to our utmost limits and we are all very happy with the sound and song material. It’s pretty safe to say that this is a top album and maybe even our strongest record to date. It’s the perfect mix between our origins and our current style – a perfect balance and all band members have done an awesome job playing and recording it. For me, Metal Commando is the right album at the right time!” Metal Commando was produced by Mat Sinner, while mixing duties fell to Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark.
