Info zu I Will Be Gone

Primal Fear's ferocious new record "Metal Commando" has been an undisputed highlight of 2020. The German power metal band's 13th full length detonated in the midst of a raging pandemic, leaving no stone unturned in it's path. Right now however, they want to show us something new, a different side to them - after releasing a string of heavy and hard-hitting singles from "Metal Commando", mastermind Mat Sinner and vocal force Ralf Scheepers have something extraordinary up their sleeves; a 5-track single, built around an exclusive new rendition of their achingly beautiful ballad 'I Will Be Gone', re-recorded with none other than Finnish metal diva extraordinaire, Tarja Turunen.The song, fragile and touching, gets an altogether new and deeply melancholic vibe with Tarja's unbelievably emotional performance, showcasing a different facet of Primal Fear. Yet, it's not the only gift they deliver on this 5-track sensation - just take 'Vote Of No Confidence' for example, an all-new, previously unreleased beast of a song. Clocking in at over six minutes, this storming, furious anthem gives a brilliant glimpse of things to come. Previously only available as bonus tracks on the limited "Metal Commando" digipack, three more tracks complete this release; enchanting guitar instrumental 'Rising Fear', massive mid-tempo smasher 'Leave Me Alone', and heavy metal monument 'Second To None', making 'I Will Be Gone' so much more than just another off shoot of a successful album.

“I Will Be Gone” gets an altogether new and deeply melancholic vibe with Tarja‘s unbelievably emotional performance, showcasing a different facet of PRIMAL FEAR. Yet it’s not the only gift they deliver on this EP; “Vote Of No Confidence”, for example, is an all-new, previously unreleased beast of a song. Clocking in at over six minutes, this storming, furious anthem gives a brilliant glimpse of things to come. Previously only available as bonus tracks on the limited “Metal Commando” digipack, three more songs complete this release: enchanting guitar instrumental “Rising Fear”; massive mid-tempo smasher “Leave Me Alone”; and heavy metal monument “Second To None”, making “I Will Be Gone” so much more than just another offshoot of a successful album.

“There were three famous vocalists on our final wish list,” Mat Sinner comments. “That it was Tarja who got involved in this song is a matter of pure joy for all of us. Working together on the song and video was totally relaxed and professional – a great experience also because Tarja’s and Ralf’s voices go together incredibly well. Now, we can expand the “Metal Commando” saga with a unique chapter. We’re all really proud of this single.”

The Finnish icon can only agree: “I was very happy to receive the invitation to take part in PRIMAL FEAR’s beautiful song ‘I Will Be Gone’. We started our careers nearly at the same time many years ago, and finally got a chance to work together. I love the song and personally it helped me to stay connected and rock again, even if at the studio this time. I really hope that people will like this collaboration and that it will bring them joy especially during these difficult times we are living through at the moment.”

Primal Fear

With killer albums like "Jaws Of Death", "Nuclear Fire" and "Black Sun" this outstanding act met the taste of the metal crowd worldwide and became a true instance regarding straight and powerful Metal. After the huge success of 2003s output "Black Sun", the German Metal Commando now enters "The Devil's Ground"!

PRIMAL FEAR easily appeal every Headbangers' steely heart, especially the fiery "Metal Is Forever" has the potential to become a new hymn of the genre. The straight and catchy track was also chosen to be the video for the new album, which was shot in Sweden in december 2003.

Heavy, dynamic and full of killers. PRIMAL FEAR prove once more that they are among the leading acts of the international Metal scene.

PRIMAL FEAR was founded in 1998 by the legendary metal shouter Ralf Scheepers (ex-GAMMA RAY), SINNER frontman & bassist Mat Sinner and Tom Naumann (SINNER). With their self-titled debut "Primal Fear" the band went straight on position 48 in the German charts and marked the first step of the German Metal Commando on their way to the top of Europeans leading Heavy Metal acts. The follow up "Jaws Of Death" presented PRIMAL FEAR musically more sophisticated, more aggressive. The album led to tours through the USA, Brazil, Argentina and earned great responses everywhere. "Nuclear Fire" took PRIMAL FEAR to another climax: Clear and powerful produced by Mat Sinner himself the album featured several absolute killer songs and broke lose a real PRIMAL FEAR hysteria. The record charted high in the international hit lists (e.g. # 37 in Germany, # 71 in Italy, # 77 in Switzerland and on # 23 in Japan) and brought the band sold out venues all across Europe, Brazil and even the USA. Noticeable development attended the release of the concept album "Black Sun": Using progressive elements and experimental fundamentals the German Metal Commando showed maturation and more complexity regarding song-writing. The charts were cracked again, among the positions 55 in Germany and number 12 in the Japanese rock charts. Idle to mention that the following "Black Sun" tour became a worldwide success. In August 2003 PRIMAL FEAR parted ways with longtime drummer Klaus Sperling. Former ANNIHILATOR drummer Randy Black took over his place and immediately proved to be the right choice, on the bands first US tour - another enrichment of the line up. One month later the band released its very first DVD entitled "The History Of Fear" which gave an extensive retrospective of the band's career with several bootlegs from tours and festivals in the USA, Canada, South America, Asia and Europe, as well as gigs at the Wacken Open Air and, finally, impressions of their last years' "Black Sun" tour. The limited European edition of "Devil's Ground" will feature two 5.1 mixes of the two hymns "Metal Is Forever" and "The Healer", as well as a surprise cover version of a classic metal song.
