Frontiers Recordsis pleased to announce the release of PRIMAL FEAR new album “Delivering
the Black” on January 24th
in Europe and January 28th in North
America.
On the heels of the general
consensus met by the previous studio album “Unbreakable”
which was the band’s highest chart entry in Germany at Position #31, charting
in 7 other countries, Primal Fear are only getting better with time and metal
fans around the world are acknowledging this.
After some very intense
songwriting sessions and pre-production schedule, the band started to record
the new album, “Delivering The Black”
in summer 2013 at the House of Music studios in Germany, with producer Mat Sinner and engineer Achim Koehler. The idea was to create
the most powerful PRIMAL FEAR album ever! The band then moved to Denmark in
September to finish the album with acclaimed producer/engineer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Pretty Maids,
Amaranthe) handling the mix.
“Delivering The Black”
combines the strongest Primal Fear moments ever, with a well-balanced typical PRIMAL
FEAR trademark riff-vibe, crushing songs and some very ambitious musical
journeys. The centerpiece of the album is the two epic tracks “When Death Comes Knocking” and the 10
minute opus “One Night In December”,
spiced with big orchestral arrangements and complex sound designs.
Classic and ultra-fresh PRIMAL FEAR riff-rockers like the title track,
the album opener “King For A Day” or
the groove monsters “Alive And On Fire”
and “Road To Asylum” hit the
bulls-eye just like the untamed speed killer “Rebel Faction”. The outstanding ballad “Born With A Broken Heart” shows a new side of PRIMAL FEAR with an
acoustic guitar vibe and the addition of Liv
Kristine (Leaves’ Eyes) on backing vocals.
Singer Ralf Scheepers says: “We worked hard to create our best album
ever. I already felt the vibe during the pre-production, that we were working
on something very special this time! And now the result is just an amazing
Metal album, I’m extremely proud of!” Producer/bassist Mat Sinner adds: “The songs,
the production, the sound – this album is a very special one for me and my
career. In my view everybody in the band just did a killer job and Jacob was
fantastic choice to mix the album!”
The release of “Delivering the Black” will be
anticipated by the release of the digital only single / video “When Death Comes Knocking” on December 2nd – a song which sets the
pace for the outstanding quality of production and songwriting displayed on the
full album. You can enjoy a sample of the track following this link: http://youtu.be/TK7BEWgEkQE
“Delivering The Black” will be
available in regular cd edition, deluxe edition with 2 bonus tracks and – in
