PRIMAL FEAR Bassist Checks In From Studio
December 10, 2008German power metallers PRIMAL FEAR entered the studio on November 28 to begin recording their new album, "16.6", due in early 2009 via Frontiers Records.
The group's bassist Mat Sinner has issued the following update:
"Henny [Wolter] has finished most of his guitar parts and left the studio earlier today. He will be probably back in early January for the final fills and backing vocals! Dennis [Ward, producer] is editing some drum parts at the moment and I'm waiting for him to finish up his work, to play the sixth bass guitar track on a song called 'Soar'. Ralf [Scheepers] delivered his lead vocals for 'Riding The Eagle' and 'Night After Night'. Cool shit! Everybody is totaly satisfied about the outcome so far and the peaceful and creative cooperation in the studio. Our longtime friend Bomber joined us yesterday in the studio for filming a 'Making Of 16.6.' for Bomber TV and did some nice shots and interviews. We will post the first part of our 'making of' during the next days on My Space!"
The band is in the process of laying down the following 14 tracks for the new CD (working titles; in no particular order):
01. Six Times Dead (16.6)

PRIMAL FEAR earlier in the year parted ways with guitarist Stefan Leibing and replaced him with Magnus Karlsson (ALLEN/LANDE, STARBREAKER).

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).
