Anticipated by a successful listening session held in Cologne, Germany, attended by the cream of the European Metal press, the new album is about to bring back Primal Fear to the throne of Heavy Metal.
"16.6" is easily the most powerful, ambitious and interesting album in the band's history. The vibe of songs like the opening track "Riding The Eagle," "Killbound," or "Under The Radar" are reminiscent of the "Nuclear Fire" album but the whole album features all the trademarks of the Primal Fear sound - a the total dedication to pure metal. There is also a new approach mixed with the trademark PF riffs in tracks like "Six Times Dead (16.6)," "Soar," and "Smith & Wesson," as well as the epic stories, consummate musicianship, and fantastic melodies in songs like "Black Rain," "No Smoke Without Fire," "Torn," and the stylistically new ballad "Hands Of Time," with four band members all sharing the lead vocals.
"Our target was to write and produce the most diverse and interesting album in the history of Primal Fear and combine our past with the future," said Mat Sinner. "The result went truly beyond our expectations and it will be a huge challenge to play these new songs on stage! The entire band is very proud of '16.6' and we hope all our old and even new fans will be totally satisfied!"
The album was recorded the House of Music studios with engineer Dennis Ward, mixing engineer Achim Koehler, and producer Mat Sinner. Once again Primal Fear displays a very high standard of song writing, sound, and production. New guitarist Magnus Karlsson and Henny Wolter shine with a new dimension to the guitar work, and lead vocalist Ralf Scheepers reaches a new level in his vocal performances. Nothing can go wrong if you're backed by one of the best rhythm sections in metal with Randy Black and Mat Sinner and you can hear the result on Primal Fear's outstanding new message called '16.6!'
