PRIMAL FEAR / SEVEN SEALS

How much longer can the world in general ignore Primal Fear, this is their 6ht studio album and every release I cant see how they will better their last release but every time they keep coming up the an album better than the last.

This German 5 piece are without doubt the King’s of Euro Metal at the moment and no longer can they be dismissed as just sounding like Judas Priest, Devil’s Ground is was and still is better than anything Priest have done in this century and their sound has how metamorphosed beyond this tag and progressed into new territory. There are more keyboards on this album and one listen to the radio friendly power ballad title track and "In Memory" will prove they now have the means to crack America. The Power Metal riffs are still there, check out "Diablos", "Rollercoaster" or "Carnivore" for proof its just they have a new dimension, a 3^rd angle projection to their soundscape. Ralph Scheeper’s vocal performance is better than anything he has done before and the guitarist pulls off some fantastic riffs with total precision.

You cannot dismiss this band anymore, wake up and listen to some of the best Power Metal that Germany has to offer.

TOTAL PLAYING TIME = 64 mins + 12 TRACKS (limited digi book) + CD ROM
