German power metal veterans PRIMAL FEAR are in the final stages of completing their upcoming 15th studio album, “Domination”. Produced by bassist and founding member Mat Sinner and co-produced by singer Ralf Scheepers and guitarist Magnus Karlsson, the new offering will be mixed and mastered by the group’s confident partner Jacob Hansen at his Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark by the end of this year.

“We’ve entered the studio and we can choose from a pool of about 25 songs! We’re absolutely happy!” says Sinner.

Swedish guitarist Magnus Karlsson, who has been primarily a studio member of the band for much of the past decade, recently announced that he will rejoin PRIMAL FEAR on the road. In addition, he is once again a vital part of the creative process for the upcoming LP. He says: “I can’t wait to hit the stage with PRIMAL FEAR again! It’s going to be an incredible ride! We’re going to create something truly special together, both live and in the studio, and I’m so grateful to share this journey with all you metalheads! Metal is forever!”

The metal titans are determined to outdo themselves once again and to surpass the success of their recent album “Code Red”, which achieved the highest chart notations in the band’s history. Their efforts are progressing exceptionally well. Scheepers states about the current process: “I haven’t felt as great in a long time as I did singing some of the new songs!”

Last month, PRIMAL FEAR recruited André Hilgers as the band’s new drummer and Italian/Cuban sensation Thalìa Bellazecca (ANGUS MCSIX, ex-FROZEN CROWN) as their new guitarist.

Comments PRIMAL FEAR singer Ralf Scheepers: “After my last show in Italy, I got to know Thalìa personally and I realized what a wonderful person she is… Anyone who knows me knows that personal contact and sympathy is very important to me. So I read up on her musical projects and skills and was blown away by her incredible talent! I can’t wait to work with her in the studio and of course live soon!”

Thalìa adds: “I’m stoked and excited to have the opportunity to play with these giants of the heavy and power metal scene. I feel so honored to share the stage with these amazing musicians and to start a new journey also with this incredible and historical band! Can’t wait to start working with all of you!”
