PRIMORDIAL: More New Music Posted Online

October 19, 2007

Metal Blade Records has launched a special PRIMORDIALMySpace page featuring streaming versions of two tracks — "Empire Falls" and "Heathen Tribes" — from the Irish dark metal masters' sixth album, "To The Nameless Dead", which will be released in Europe on November 19.

According to a press release, the group's second CD for Metal Blade "is a timeless statement and an ode to their forefathers which lives and breathes the ancient spirit mixed with anger, pain and despair. . . 'To The Nameless Dead' is defiantly at odds with a modern metal scene that often seems to place banality, mediocrity and safety above passion, honesty and truth."

Harsher and faster than its predecessor, "To The Nameless Dead" wasn't recorded digitally — just analog to keep the sound old school and powerful.

The album will be available as a limited first edition in a digibook (cover artwork),featuring another design, 40 pages and a bonus DVD of PRIMORDIAL's performance at the Rock Hard Festival.

"To The Nameless Dead" (jewelcase cover artwork) track listing:

01. Empire Falls
02. Gallows Hymn
03. As Rome Burns
04. Failures Burden
05. Heathen Tribes
06. The Rising Tide
07. Traitors Gate
08. No Nation On This Earth

PRIMORDIAL will have their "The Gathering Wilderness" released soon on picture disc vinyl. The double 12" picture disc will be released by Sentinel Records sometime between November and December 2007. The double vinyl is limited to 500 copies worldwide. Pre-orders are now being taken. The first 100 copies come with a patch.

"The Gathering Wilderness" was originally issued in 2005 through Metal Blade Records.
