25 years of blood, sweat – and PRIMAL FEAR! 2022 marks the quarter-century band anniversary of the German metal dinosaurs and to celebrate, the band release a remastered deluxe edition of their iconic self-titled debut album (1998) today through Atomic Fire. Besides the mentioned sound polishing by Jacob Hansen (Hansen Studios, Denmark), PRIMAL FEAR have also added three bonus tracks — a cover version of ACCEPT‘s ‘Breaker’ plus two gloriously raw and energetic live recordings of ‘Chainbreaker’ and ‘Running In The Dust’ — to round off the package that features extensive liner notes and many pictures from the band archives. As if this wasn’t enough, the group are set to finally return to the stages at Germany‘s prestigious Summer Breeze Open Air (Dinkelsbuhl) next month as well as at Metal Hammer Paradise (Weissenhausser Strand/Ostsee) in November. Be there and witness the German metal commandos live festivities!
