Primal Fear Primal Fear

2015, With the resurgence of European power metal in the late 90s, Matt Sinner and Ralph Scheepers put together a power metal project under the name of Primal Fear. The line up consisted of Ralf on lead vocals, Matt on bass, Sinner guitarist Tom Newman and drummer Klaus Sperling. In retrospect, it would be fair to say that their musical approach was amongst the most advanced/sophisticated sounds the power/melodic metal genre had produced mainly because Primal Fear effectively combined only the best elements of the rock-metal genre while performing the material with indescribable intensity. The Primal Fear concept was rewarded by considerable chart entries in Europe and Japan. The album holds one of the most characteristic songs of the band, ,,Chainbreaker", along with the devastating ,,Silver And Gold", the melodically agonizing ,,Thunderdome", and one of the greatest power ballads in their catalogue ,,Tears Of Rage" which would be the first in a list of mind blowing power ballads to follow in their other albums.
