September 8, 2011

German power metallers PRIMAL FEAR have finished recording their new album, "Unbreakable", and will begin mixing the effort on Monday, September 12. The CD, which is scheduled for a January 20, 2012 release via Frontiers Records, was tracked at House Of Music studios in Winterbach, Germany with producer/bassist Mat Sinner and engineer Achim Khler (EDGUY, MASTERPLAN).

"Unbreakable" will feature the following songs:

* Blaze Of Glory
* Marching Again
* And There Was Silence
* Night Of The Jumps
* Give 'Em Hell
* Born Again
* Where Angels Die
* Bad Guys Wear Black
* Strike
* Metal Nation
* Conviction
* Raise Some Hell

Regarding the musical direction of the new PRIMAL FEAR album, vocalist Ralf Scheepers told Greece's Rock Overdose, "You can really expect an album which is somehow skipping back again to the very basics of PRIMAL FEAR, with very rough metal riffs and screaming vocals and good melodies on it. So people can really expect a pure PRIMAL FEAR album with melody and beating drums and very harsh guitars."

He added, "Of course, every musician will somehow advertise his own album, but I'm really convinced that people will like this one, because it's got very catchy hooklines and it's a really 'bang-your-head' metal album.

"When you look back on the [PRIMAL FEAR] back catalog, from the very first album to this album now, I think there were quite some changes on 'Seven Seals', for instance, and also when we came [out with] 'New Religion'. We somehow now have a combination in between a good, bombastic sound with more back-to-the-basics guitar riffing stuff. Also we have two ballads on it, which are not [really] ballads. There's one mid-tempo song with some acoustic guitars in it and one song which has a little bit more keyboards. It's still not an acoustic-guitar ballad it's still with drums and stuff so I think it's a pretty tough album [overall]."

Rock Overdose interview (audio):

PRIMAL FEAR has extended its 13-year partnership with Warner/Chappell Publishing for another three albums. The group states, "[It's] a good sign in these days that you can work with a company for over 13 years now and still be creative and friendly!"

PRIMAL FEAR recently asked fans to submit suggestions for the new CD title and received more than 500 responses.
