PRIMAL FEAR return

On Sunday, July 20th, 1969, Commander Neil Armstrong's message from the moon, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. Eagle has landed" was transmitted to NASA's Mission Control Center at 04:17:40 p.m. EDT. Given the various symbologies related to the eagle throughout time and across cultures, it is no coincidence that NASA named their Apollo 11 Lunar Module "Eagle," as these majestic birds have long been associated with the highest pursuits. In addition to symbolizing strength, courage, and bravery, eagles are also undisputed masters of the sky.

PRIMAL FEAR's continued use of an eagle symbol makes this German band's goals and achievements even more meaningful. Much like the reputation of eagles, PRIMAL FEAR embodies tenacity and their sixth studio album, Seven Seals, is no exception to that reputation. Punctuated with the fierce confidence the band have in themselves and each other, this new album proudly showcases their gift of clear vision for the fearless goals PRIMAL FEAR aspire to.

Recorded at House of Music studio in Germany with Charlie Bauerfiend (Blind Guardian / HammerFall), and mixed at Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, B.C. by Mike Fraser (Metallica, AC/DC, Aerosmith), Seven Seals reveals a more lyrically reflective side in the soul-rousing anthems the band have become famous for. Fans will quickly notice the different vocal range utilized by Ralf Scheepers, and will surely appreciate the hard-rocking "Rollercoaster" & "The Immortal Ones," the panoramic soundscape of "Seven Seals" & "Diabolus" (which required 107 tracks!), and the adrenaline-fueled "Evil Spell," which is definitely one of PRIMAL FEAR's fastest songs to date. Take heed, connoisseurs of traditional metal: PRIMAL FEAR's ascension will continue to ride on eagle's wings, and there's no landing in sight...
