PRIMAL FEAR - Pictures From The Studio Available









PRIMAL FEAR, who are currently working on a new album, have posted the first round of pictures from the studio. Check them out at this location.

As previously reported, frontman Ralf Scheepers recently checked in with the following update:

"As we will start to record the drums for our new album this Friday (November 28th) I will take the opportunity to tell you how excited we are to bring our ideas on the hard disk in the next few weeks. Mat, Henny and Magnus have prepared such a great pre-production already, that I can proudly announce to have finished with my vocal recordings for two songs already in advance at my studio at home. As mentioned above, Randy will start to hit the skins this Friday and we can't wait to hear his power drumming on the new tracks. The new material sounds amazing and it's gonna be hard to pick 12-13 songs out of the 20 we have composed so far....watch out for news on the Primal Fear homepage."

Cheers,
Ralf

PRIMAL FEAR - New Album Teasers






In the few days off between Christmas and New Years, chief songwriter/bassist Mat Sinner gave BW&BK a gift, inside information about the forthcoming album 16.6 (Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead!). In the holiday tradition of "re-gifting" we're passing his present on to you! "This time we will keep it all in the 'family' and even mix with Achim (Koehler) & Dennis (Ward) at the House Of Music. We had a great time and everybody did a fantastic job. There's nearly 80 minutes of metal, from total traditional, some little modern experiences, some long and musically sophisticated stuff and even a suprising acoustic ballad with different singers!"

As previously reported, the album is scheduled for release in May '09 (via Frontiers), with an extensive tour to follow, soon after the release.

PRIMAL FEAR - "We Are Ready And Thrilled To Mix The Album..."






German metallers PRIMAL FEAR have issued the following update:

"We wish all our supporters, friends, partners and fans a great exciting New Year and yes, of course with a new Primal Fear album 16.6 in May 2009.

Holidays? Well, not a lot - Ralf (Scheepers - vocals) was recording some more parts for the final two songs and we are ready and thrilled to mix the album, starting on January 5th at the House Of Music studio. We will post some more updates on final songtitles etc. soon!"

étape par étape, mixage terminé, place au mastering !

German power metallers PRIMAL FEAR have finished mixing their new album, "16.6: (Before The Devil Knows You're Dead)", at House Of Music studios in Winterbach, Germany with Dennis Ward and Achim Köhler. The CD, which is tentatively due in May via Frontiers Records, will mark the group's first release with guitarist Magnus Karlsson (ALLEN/LANDE, STARBREAKER), who replaced Stefan Leibing last year.

Commented the band: "A very long recording period is finished now and we're all very satisfied about the result. We've recorded nearly 80 minutes of music and finally 14 songs plus some introductions. Now, after two days without any mixing, decisions, fresh air and sleep, it looks like we've created the most sophisticated and diversified album of our career.

"What can we say?! The music includes a lot of the vibe of our very first albums, like 'Chainbreaker', 'Running In The Dust', 'Nuclear Fire' or 'Metal Is Forever' — some real dedicated traditional metal! But a new PRIMAL FEAR album always contained some new musical challenges, real suprises ... and a lot of fresh and new elements this time!

"We are working on the final tracklist at the moment and we will master '16.6' with Ted Jensen at the Sterling Sound [in New York City] in early February. More news on the final song titles and the release date soon!"
