│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Yes, Primal Fear is just about the most unoriginal band ║ │
│║ ever. But if you know me, youÆll know that originality ║ │
│║ isnÆt one of the most important things in music to me. I ║ │
│║ donÆt give a shit about it, really- if itÆs good, itÆs ║ │
│║ good. And this is really, really good. ║ │
│║ On their first album, this five-man group of German ║ │
│║ headbangers gives us a lethal dose of metal, combining the ║ │
│║ traditional, power and speed genres into one album that is ║ │
│║ not so much creative and mind bending as it is fun as hell ║ │
│║ and totally rocking. ║ │
│║ They blast out riffs by the thousands, which forward the ║ │
│║ songs throughout. ItÆs a very riff-based brand of mainly ║ │
│║ power metal, and fortunately these guys know just how to ║ │
│║ write riffs; each one is heavier and catchier than the ║ │
│║ last. And letÆs not forget about their awesome solos. ║ │
│║ Again, it may be very standard stuff and nothing surprising ║ │
│║ at all, but Tipton/Downing worshipping leads and solos they ║ │
│║ constantly bless us with are very often nothing short of ║ │
│║ amazing. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The main focus however is put on the vocals of Ralf ║ │
│║ Scheepers, who does try quite hard to be Rob Halford. And ║ │
│║ while no one can match The Metal God, this dude does a VERY ║ │
│║ good job. He belts out some mindblowing screams, and his ║ │
│║ midrange is extremely powerful as well, though more melodic ║ │
│║ and a bit higher than that of HalfordÆs. Ralf is extremely ║ │
│║ over the top, and some might find him annoying, but to me ║ │
│║ he often makes the songs what they are. I doubt any other ║ │
│║ vocalist could give the same dose of simultaneous passion ║ │
│║ and punch into the choruses of such songs as Promised Land ║ │
│║ and Silver And Gold. And thereÆs another awesome thing ║ │
│║ about this band, the choruses. Especially on this CD, ║ │
│║ theyÆre excellent. Very power-ish stuff, a blast to sing ║ │
│║ along to, and extremely memorable. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Most of the songs are pretty fast-paced, and there are ║ │
│║ several speed metal numbers on here. Chainbreaker being the ║ │
│║ best of them, and the definite highlight of the album. ║ │
│║ Other standouts are Formula One (though itÆs cheesy as ║ │
│║ hell, especially the keyboard-driven middle section. ItÆs ║ │
│║ pretty damn funny, but still rather well-done). And also ║ │
│║ Nine Lives, the happiest song on here and one of the ║ │
│║ catchiest, too. The chorus is ecstasy-inducing. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Then we have a number of midtempo bangers as well. Dollars ║ │
│║ being the highlight, with itÆs impossibly groovy riffwork ║ │
│║ and well done vocal work. Running In The Dust is also good, ║ │
│║ featuring the formula of bass-driven verses theyÆd do on at ║ │
│║ least one song in each album. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In conclusionà if you want something thought-provoking and ║ │
│║ never before heard, go wank off to endless Dream Theater ║ │
│║ keyboard solos with no aim or direction. If you want quick ║ │
│║ and to-the-point heavy/power/speed metal with catchier ║ │
│║ songwriting in one song than Opeth will ever have in their ║ │
│║ entire career, then you should definitely give this a try. ║ │
│║ Very cheesy, over the top and unoriginal, but most fucking ║ │
│║ enjoyable. ║ │
