The German Metal Commando is back - 16.6 (Before The Devil Knows You're Dead) If your talking about todays European top metal acts, the
discussion is heading straight towards Primal Fear. If you dont think so, here are the facts: the debut album "Primal Fear", "Jaws Of Death", "Nuclear Fire", "Black
Sun", "Devils Groud" and their latest album "Seven Seals" all entered the Germnan album charts on Top 60 positions, plus chartentries in a lot of other European countries
and in Japan. Their worldwide shows & tours became a huge success! Sold out locations everywhere and aside of their homecounty Germany, especially in places like
Brazil, Spain and Japan! Packed venues and astonished, surprised Metalheads which could not understand what kind of thunder was raging above them. At the peak of their
career, Primal Fear ended up the longtime partnership with Nuclear Blast & JVC Records iun 2006 and signed a worldwide multi album deal with Frontiers Records. Both
Nuclear Blast and JVC released a final BEST OF album Metal Is Forever, which was a huge success in Japan and stayed for three month in the Burrn Album Charts. Primal Fear
started the songwriting for their seventh bw first studio album for Frontiers Records in October 2006 and the recordings started shortly later, again at the House Of Music
studio with engineer & co-producer Charlie Bauerfeind (Blind Guardian, Saxon, Hammerfall) and longtime producer and bandmember Mat Sinner. The band improved their
sound with a lot of new ideas and a lot of courage. The album will be released worldwide on September 21st 2007 by Frontiers Records and charted in 4 major countries incl.
65 in Germany and 60 in Sweden. Frontiers Records proudly announces the release of PRIMAL FEAR new studio album 16.6 (Before the Devil Knows You're Dead) on May 22nd in
Europe and June 9th in the USA. Anticipated by a successful listening session held in Cologne, Germany, attended by the cream of the European Metal press, the new album is
about to bring back Primal Fear to the throne of Heavy Metal. 16.6 is easily the most powerful, ambitious and interesting album in the band's history. The vibe of songs
like the opening track “Riding The Eagle”, “Killbound” or “Under The Radar” are reminiscent of the “Nuclear Fire” album but
eh whole album features all the trademarks of the Primal Fear sound a the total dedication to pure Metal. There is also a new approach mixed with the trademark PF riffs in
tracks like “Six Times Dead (16.6)”, “Soar”, “Smith & Wesson” as well as the epic stories, consummate musicianship, courage and
fantastic melodies in songs like “Black Rain”, “No Smoke Without Fire”, “Torn” and the stylistically new ballad “Hands Of
Time” with 4 band members all sharing the lead-vocals.
“Our target was to write and produce the most diverse and interesting album in the history of Primal Fear and combine our past with the
future” says Mat Sinner. ”The result went truly beyond our expectations and it will be a huge challenge to play these new songs on stage! The entire band is
very proud of 16.6 and we hope all our old and even new fans will be totally satisfied!”
After the Primal Fear / Sinner show in Moscow on April 4th, the band will appear in Norway on April 25th at the Haugesund Festival and in some summer
Festivals. More shows are being booked in South America (with Sinner) in August, USA/Canada incl. PPX and the UK in September, followed by Europe kicking off at the end of
in October(with Brainstorm) plus Japan & Asia t.b.a.
