Primal Fear

In the organizer's words:

PRIMAL FEAR have stood for pure heavy and power metal for over 25 years and have overcome numerous challenges since their formation in 1997. Despite these obstacles, the band has risen again and again, like a phoenix from the ashes, from its lowest moments. Following a recent line-up change, which saw Thalìa Bellezecca join the band as guitarist and André Hilgers as drummer, they are now in the final stages of production for their upcoming 15th studio album "Domination", which is currently being recorded. "We are already in the studio and can choose from around 25 songs, which we are very happy about," says founding member Mat Sinner (bass, vocals).
Produced by Sinner and co-produced by Ralf Scheepers and Magnus Karlsson, the new record will be mixed and mastered by their trusted partner Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark, this year.

Longtime guitarist Magnus Karlsson, who has returned to the PRIMAL FEAR live line-up, once again plays a central role in the creative songwriting process. He adds: "I can't wait to get back on stage with PRIMAL FEAR! It's going to be incredible! We're going to create something really special together, both live and in the studio, and I'm so grateful to share this adventure with you metalheads! Metal is forever!"

The metal commando is determined to outdo themselves again and surpass the success of their last album "Code Red", which achieved the highest chart positions in the band's history. Singer Ralf Scheepers reveals: "It hasn't felt this great to sing new songs for a long time!

But that's not all: Behind the scenes, preparations are in full swing, and PRIMAL FEAR fans should mark September 5, 2025 in their calendars. This date not only marks the release of the new album "Domination", but also the start of the European tour, which begins in Hamburg to celebrate the new album. The tour will be accompanied by several festival appearances. The first gig with the energetic new line-up is planned for "Rock in Rautheim" next May. More details will be announced soon, so stay tuned and follow the band on their socials!

Support ELEINE:
Rousing, brute and captivating: three expressive words that perfectly describe the motivation of the Swedish metal band ELEINE
perfectly. In a world that longs for anthems and consistency, the band exceeds all expectations. Their sound? Brutal on the one hand, melodic on the other, complemented by an impressive presence that is impossible to ignore: ELEINE are more than just a band, they are at the forefront of an entire movement. Their music is not simply listened to - rather, it strikes you to the core and ignites a fire that gives you new self-confidence.

Every single note of their empowering songs is filled with resilience and raw emotion. Since their 2020 breakthrough with "Dancing In Hell", ELEINE have made it clear time and time again that they are not just here to stay, but rather to rule. Their latest work "We Shall Remain" [2023] is anything but an ordinary album, but an immense statement of will to survive and cohesion. The tracks are surrounded by a unique aura that encourages, motivates and challenges listeners time and time again. It is a steely bond that connects ELEINE with their ever-growing legion of fans.

The combo relies on mutual support, because singer Madeleine and guitarist Rikard in particular have known successful times, but have also gone through energy-sapping lows themselves, resulting in an incredible authenticity that is omnipresent on and off stage: "We believe in our fans just as much as they do in us," comment the two, whose personal stories, in which they were able to successfully escape the darkness, are also reflected on "We Shall Remain". Songs such as the liberating battle cry 'We Are Legion' or the profound 'Never Forget' also have a firm place on ELEINE's setlist. Their concerts are not simple shows, they are calls to battle. Become part of their legion and let yourself be infected by their energy, which won't let you go any time soon.

Driven by "We Shall Remain", ELEINE also knew their reputation as a constantly touring band at the end of 2023 as support for
ENSIFERUM and PAIN once again. This was preceded by, among other things, a monumental show in support of
scene great NIGHTWISH. Long overdue, ELEINE finally graced the clubs as headliners in the fall of 2024 and
proved with their loyal following that they can sell out European venues on their own. There was therefore no question that a second leg would follow in spring 2025.

ELEINE's life-enhancing art is reaching more and more people as the band take their positive message out into the wider world - not just from the studio, but especially live. Get your share of their elixir before it's too late!
