Here they come again! Mr. Scheepers and Mat Sinner have returned with a new missile ready to be launched!
Primal Fear are about to release their third studio album and to prove that they are not here just to be one typical band among the others. Some people say that they sound pretty much like Judas Priest and other 80's bands... Well guys... they grew up with bands like Judas Priest and more golden 80's Metal bands. That's not a sin! In my opinion they don't just copy the 80's! They play 80's with a present touch! Yes, Ralph's voice is pretty similar to Rob Halford's but I personally believe that except for the ''Rob'' elements he has personal touches. Personal UNIQUE touches. Ok, for someone who has been listening to Heavy Metal only for 2-3 years maybe he sings the same but if you have his older material with Gamma Ray you'll see what I mean.
Anyway I'll stop defending them now and I'll move on to the new album. I just had some things inside me for a long time now. Nuclear Fire is an album that combines the first two albums but it doesn't stop there! It goes beyond! This album follows the classic Metal style of 80's with melodic touches here and there and sometimes some thrasy breakthroughs! In my opinion with this album they can proudly scream ''WE PLAY PRIMAL FEAR''. It's fuckin' Heavy Metal; what else can I say? They have so much experience and you can see that on every single note of Nuclear Fire. All the songs are very good and the production is awesome! Beware of the Nuclear assault!
