German metal commandos
PRIMAL FEAR celebrated their 25th band anniversary with select events last year, including live shows and re-issuing their iconic self-titled debut album. The time was also spent preparing a huge sonic assault named
»Code Red« that will be unleashed on
September 1st, 2023 through
Atomic Fire! Produced by bass player
Mat Sinner and co-produced by vocalist
Ralf Scheepers as well as guitarist
Tom Naumann, it will be mixed and mastered by long-time
PRIMAL FEAR companion
Jacob Hansen at his own
Hansen Studios in
Denmark once again. To give fans a first impression of the album, which is still in its recording stages, the group have unveiled its cover artwork which was designed by
Stan W. Decker (
»Angels Of Mercy – Live In Germany« (2017),
»Apocalypse« (2018), and
»I Will Be Gone« (2021) etc.) today, and
PRIMAL FEAR wouldn’t be
PRIMAL FEAR if they didn’t announce the first leg of their upcoming European tour (
see below!) as well. Kicking off with a hometown show at
Stuttgart‘s
Im Wizemann venue, the run will also lead the “eagles” to many other countries besides
Germany and
Switzerland. Special guests on this run will be no less than German power metallers
THE UNITY (feat. members of
GAMMA RAY,
EDGUY,
PRIMAL FEAR etc.) with further dates to be announced at a later point. Don’t ignore the warning signals and get your tickets from
www.metaltix.com before they’re gone!
Mat Sinner states, “The world is in a state of emergency, one catastrophe follows another. »Code Red« is our statement about the present and the title of our upcoming 14th studio album, which will be released directly at the tour start on September 1st. According to its title, it will be a heavy, powerful and uncompromising record – 110% PRIMAL FEAR!”
