here is a report on the listening session of Black sun from Stuttgart-
straight out of metal-inside.de


please keep in mind that this is a translation from german- and german language is NOT my strongest point:-))

Listening session Primal Fear On 2 February press people appeared themselves out completely Europe on the occasion of the new Studi output of the Esslinger Metal Combo PRIMAL FEAR in Stuttgart. There should be however no "normal" Listening session and have anyway again and again there Primal Fear for a surprise are, took place the whole this time thus in the planetarium in the heart of Stuttgart. Finally the new album is called "Black Sun" and also lies there it near to let this Event take place in so a location. And approximately 30 journalists already met and also rather soon into a Nebensaal of the planetariums were asked at springful temperatures. After short greetings of that volume and few words to the "Nuclear a Fire" successor and thus fourth album that volume announced Ralf Scheepers each Song and told us somewhat in each case to the Story of the Songs. On the whole it concerns with "Black Sun" nearly around a concept album in that it mainly "air battles" of the staehlernden Primal Fear of eagle acts, thus quite Science Fiction lastig. After then thus last words were spoken of Ralf, sound gentle triangle-similar sounds of the Intro COUNT down tons of Insanity to the end strongly add and with cracking guitars the beginning of the Openers Black Sun einleutet. This begins like we it from the last two Primal Fear albums is used already fast and directly with slamming bass Drums and the strong high voice of Ralf Scheepers in the each quantity power puts. However not completely as in-usually as "fishing rod in Black" however a good entrance. In the next Song Armageddon govern again times the distorted Primal Fear of guitar reef and the aggressive voice of Ralf. The Lyrics takes up the topic of the terror, as Ralf explains us. Parallel ones to the terrorist attacks of the USA are to pull however not necessarily compellingly the origin of this Songs. With Lightyears From Home for it quite new succeeded to Primal Fear something. We are melodische power - Mitsing Refrains like "Silver and gold" or "Nuclear Fire" used is this Song the probably in-most usual PF Song at all: snaps double bass Drums, melodische Leadgitarre and in addition at least from the musical seen merry Refrainpart. After the groovenden number revolution continues it with a further Kracher from the Esslinger Schmiederei. Fear is rung in with "Luftangriffkampfbomberggeraeu" (geiles word ne...) and goes then fast to the thing. Continued to be then to short words from Ralf with Magic Eye to a Song to the past concept of this disk fits not completely it this typical Krachertradmarks does not exhibit however exactly therefore something there for alternation ensures. Ralf Scheepers lets it concern with this number also with the voice somewhat more calmly. One cannot finally give always gas. With Mind there is control and Mind Machine then again two fast power Metal Songs with however second the winner is clear me simply more alternation in the Song is ordered here there. Also Mat Sinner may divide here the Leadvocals with Ralf. It became slow time for the "Under Your Spell" and/or. "Now Or Never" successor. That there is not unfortunately to 100 per cent however nevertheless very slowly and in-usually follows now Silence at least to the same concept fits as o.g. Songs. Develops hope I after repeated run hope I still. To the conclusion then with incoming goods Go down, Cold Day is into bright and Conrolled again strongly to the thing. Led of groovenden guitar reef and very in parts direct Soliparts might be disappointed thus no Primal Fear fan by this Songs and also by the entire album. Altogether with the first run the predecessor album "Nuclear Fire" pleased me however better in parts. What did it lie? No notion. And compared with the other two PF albums I would select Black Sun at place 2. In any case ones I will sound myself and will see the album after publication still times in peace, how it affects then me. To the Listening session then for all into main building of the planetariums was to an interesting and at the same time also demonstration fitting the topic however public was next door and distributed themselves in such a way the entire crew quite fast. Subsequently, all drove then to Esslingen to take the hometown from Primal Fear around then had a cosy meal in the "Viennese forest". Who had then still desire, still ne geile party in the master tavern that could directly next door experience volume, which persisted still into the morning hours. Here a large thank-beautifully at Nuclear blow and mainly naturally to young from Primal the Fear. (xhb)
