primal fear Metal Command [CD+Bonus CD] Japan Music CD

Product Description
Content Introduction Heavier and more epic. Primal Fear's new album, led by German metal legends Ralf Scheepers and Matt Sinner, is a true heavy metal masterpiece. Mixing and mastering by the familiar Jacob Hansen. Formed by German metal heavyweights Ralf Scheepers (formerly of Gamma Ray), Matt Sinner (of Sinner), and Tom Naumann. Primal Fear, known for Ralf Scheepers of Gamma Ray and Matt Sinner of Sinner, has gained immense popularity with their robust, heavy metal sound. Their self-titled debut album was first released in Japan in 1997. From their second album, "Jaws of Death," in 1999, they joined Nuclear Blast, partly because Matt Sinner was working at Nuclear Blast at the time. Since then, Primal Fear has consistently released albums in cycles of several years. The opening track of their fifth album, "Devil's Ground," released in 2004, "Metal is Forever," remains a beloved metal anthem among heavy metal fans worldwide. Now, they are releasing their 13th album, "Metal Command." Following Matt's departure, they left Nuclear Blast for their 7th album, "New Religion," released in 2007, and were signed to Italy's Frontiers Records. This album marks their return to Nuclear Blast after a long absence. The content speaks for itself. Primal Fear would never play anything other than heavy metal. To paraphrase Matt Sinner's confident words, "The heavy songs are heavier. The epic songs are more epic. The fast songs are faster. And the dark songs are darker," this album features a Primal Fear that has been upgraded in every way. From the galloping rhythm of the opening track "I Am Alive," which can only be described as metal, to the breathtaking 13-minute closing number "Infinity," every track on this album will resonate with heavy metal enthusiasts. Primal Fear's new album, eagerly awaited by heavy metal fans worldwide, far exceeds expectations. Mixing and mastering were handled by the familiar Jacob Hansen.
