CD/DVD Releases: Primal Fear Begin Work On Next Album

Posted on Saturday, November 29 @ 06:00:00 UTC by nightowl

German power metallers Primal Fear will enter the studio this week to begin recording their new album, 16.6, due in early 2009 via Frontiers Records.

Commented Primal Fear frontman Ralf Scheepers: "As we will start to record the drums for our new album this Friday [11/28? -ed.], 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 [Sinner, bass], Henny [Wolter, guitar] and Magnus [Karlsson, guitar] 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 [Black, drums] 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."



Primal Fear earlier in the year parted ways with guitarist Stefan Leibing and replaced him with Magnus Karlsson (Allen/Lande, Starbreaker).

The band's latest album, New Religion, last year landed on the Swedish chart at No. 67. It also entered the German chart at No. 60. The CD was released in the U.S. on January 29 via Locomotive/Ryko. Guest musicians on the album include Kai Hansen (Gamma Ray, ex-Helloween) and Simone Simons (Epica).
