Former Gamma Ray vocalist Ralf Scheepers and bassist/vocalist Mat Sinner, two of Germany's most respected metal musicians, founded Primal Fear in late 1997.

With nine studio albums, two live releases and a 'best of' compilation to their credit, Primal Fear started recording their brand new album, Delivering The Black, in the summer of 2013 at the House Of Music studios in Germany, with Sinner producing alongside engineer Achim Koehler. They subsequently relocated to Denmark in September to mix the album with producer/engineer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Pretty Maids, Amaranthe).
