Primal Fear is a German power metal/heavy metal band formed in 1997. Today's line-up consists of Ralf Scheepers (Vocals/Ex-Gamma Ray), Mat Sinner (Bass and Vocals), Randy Black (drums), Magnus Karlsson and Henny Wolter (guitars).
The main lyrical themes in Primal Fear's works are science fiction. An example would be Black Sun. It can be considered a concept album about a space exploration mission. They visit a new, before unseen, planet (Black Sun), have a crew member who can see the future (Magic Eye), and end up blowing up when re-entering the Earth's Atmosphere (Armageddon). The Person or thing they are speaking to in Armageddon is considered by fans to be the Falcon on the covers of their albums.
Their latest album, called “New Religion” has been released in 2007 and was supported by an European tour.
