Primal Fear

In the organizer's words:

PRIMAL FEAR have stood for pure heavy and power metal for over 25 years and have overcome numerous challenges since their formation in 1997. Despite these obstacles, the band has risen again and again, like a phoenix from the ashes, from its lowest moments. After a recent line-up change, with Thalìa Bellezecca joining the band as guitarist and André Hilgers as drummer, they are now in the final stages of production of their upcoming 15th studio album "Domination", which is currently being recorded. "We are already in the studio and can choose from around 25 songs, which we are very happy about," says founding member Mat Sinner (bass, vocals).
Produced by Sinner and co-produced by Ralf Scheepers and Magnus Karlsson, the new record will be mixed and mastered by their trusted partner Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark, this year.

Longtime guitarist Magnus Karlsson, who has returned to the PRIMAL FEAR live line-up, once again plays a central role in the creative songwriting process. He adds: "I can't wait to get back on stage with PRIMAL FEAR! It's going to be incredible! We're going to create something really special together, both live and in the studio, and I'm so grateful to share this adventure with you metalheads! Metal is forever!"

The metal commando is determined to outdo themselves again and surpass the success of their last album "Code Red", which achieved the highest chart positions in the band's history. Singer Ralf Scheepers reveals: "It hasn't felt this great to sing new songs for a long time!

But that's not all: Behind the scenes, preparations are in full swing, and PRIMAL FEAR fans should mark September 5, 2025 in their calendars. This date not only marks the release of the new album "Domination", but also the start of the European tour, which begins in Hamburg to celebrate the new album. The tour will be accompanied by several festival appearances. The first gig with the energetic new line-up is planned for "Rock in Rautheim" next May. More details will be announced soon, so stay tuned and follow the band on their socials!
