Primal Fear

PRIMAL FEAR are back to reclaim their throne with Domination, a colossal 15th studio album that proves why they remain Germany's undisputed power metal champions! The partly renewed German metal commandos return stronger and more varied than ever, delivering 13 Jacob Hansen-mixed tracks that leave absolutely nothing to be desired. Founded in 1997 by vocalist Ralf Scheepers (ex-Gamma Ray) and bassist Mat Sinner after Scheepers wasn't hired as Rob Halford's replacement in Judas Priest, PRIMAL FEAR have been relentlessly conquering the heavy/power metal scene for over 25 years.

Domination showcases the band around founding members Mat Sinner (bass, vocals) and Ralf Scheepers (vocals) at their most potent, featuring high-speed numbers like the single "Far Away," stomping mid-tempo anthems, and even an instrumental track. The album was produced by Mat Sinner and co-produced by Ralf Scheepers and Magnus Karlsson, then mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Denmark. With new members Thalìa Bellazecca (guitars) and André Hilgers (drums) bringing fresh energy to the legendary songwriting trio of Sinner, Scheepers, and Karlsson, PRIMAL FEAR prove that no obstacle is too great for their powerhouse creativity. From hard-hitting tracks like "The Hunter" to epic ballads featuring guest appearances, this album demonstrates that they're not here to reclaim the crown – they never left the throne of heavy/power metal royalty.
