Code Red

The phoenix rising from the ashes is a oft-cited motif in cultural history. Rarely has it been more fitting than for the triumphant return of PRIMAL FEAR, only here it's a steel eagle rising from the ashes. Their new, 13th album, "Code Red," is both a rebirth and a hard-hitting metal masterclass, living proof of the healing power of music and the brotherhood behind the riffs. Oh, and as a side note, Germany's power metal traditionalists have also delivered a new career high point, one that even surpasses the incredibly strong "Metal Commando" from 2020. PRIMAL FEAR – risen from the dead! Three years after their first Top 10 hit with "Metal Commando" and 25 years after their legendary debut "Primal Fear," singer Ralf Scheepers, bassist and vocalist Mat Sinner, the triple guitar phalanx of Tom Naumann, Alex Beyrodt, and Magnus Karlsson, and drummer Michael Ehré unleash a zeitgeist-defining manifesto that delivers eleven compelling proofs of why power metal will simply never die. It is indeed advocates like PRIMAL FEAR who keep the flame alive.
