Primal Fear’s ‘Domination’ Album: Metal Royalty Returns in 2024

Primal Fear, the iconic German power metal band, has been a force to be reckoned with since their inception in 1997. Their upcoming album, “Domination,” scheduled to be released on September 5 via RPM, has been highly anticipated by fans worldwide. The lead single, “Far Away,” captures the essence of Primal Fear’s classic sound, featuring powerful vocals by Ralf Scheepers and intense instrumentals. The accompanying music video was filmed at Dennis Ward’s Kangaroo Studios in Germany, where the album was recorded in late 2024.

Scheepers revealed that “Far Away” conveys a message of faith and longing, reflecting the emotions of missing someone deeply, especially for musicians on tour. With a lineup that includes Mat Sinner, Ralf Scheepers, and new members Thalìa Bellazecca and André Hilgers, Primal Fear continues to evolve while staying true to their roots. The album, “Domination,” showcases a range of tracks, from the energetic “The Hunter” to the emotional ballad “Eden,” featuring a guest appearance by Melissa Bonny of Ad Infinitum.

Primal Fear’s relentless dedication to their craft is evident in their diverse sound and dynamic songwriting. The band’s powerhouse trio of Sinner, Scheepers, and Magnus Karlsson ensure that each album is a unique musical journey. Tracks like “Scream” and “Crossfire” exude raw energy, while the closing track, “A Tune I Won’t Forget,” offers a reflective and poignant conclusion to the album. Primal Fear’s ability to blend aggression with melody solidifies their status as heavy/power metal royalty.

In preparation for the album release, Primal Fear will be performing at select summer festivals before embarking on their most extensive European tour since 2018. The tour, featuring special guests Eleine, will kick off in September, taking the band to various cities across Europe. With a lineup of energetic performances and a loyal fanbase, Primal Fear is set to reaffirm their position as one of the leading forces in the metal scene.
