PRIMAL FEAR Unveils Upcoming Album “Domination” and New Single “Far Away”
The Legacy of PRIMAL FEAR
Since their inception in 1997, PRIMAL FEAR has established themselves as a cornerstone of Germany’s power metal scene. Known for their commanding sound and fierce performances, the band continues to push musical boundaries while remaining true to their roots.
New Album Announcement
The band has recently announced the release of their highly anticipated album, Domination, set to drop on September 5, 2025, under RPM Records. Fans can now pre-order the album in various physical formats and digital options through the following link: primalfear.rpm.link/dominationPR.
Lead Single “Far Away”
To coincide with the album announcement, PRIMAL FEAR has released the lead single, “Far Away,”, which is now available on streaming platforms worldwide. This track encapsulates all the classic elements that fans have come to love: soaring melodies, thunderous drums, and blistering twin-guitar solos. Ralf Scheepers’ powerful vocals bring a profound sense of yearning to the song, which has been accompanied by a performance-style music video filmed at Dennis Ward’s Kangaroo Studios in Karlsdorf-Neuthard, Germany.
Meaning Behind the Song
Scheepers elaborates on the theme of “Far Away,” stating, “It’s an expression of faith and trust, no matter where or what. We all know this feeling of missing someone so much, not being able to see or hear him/her every day – especially as musicians whilst touring.”
Continuing to Innovate
With nearly three decades of experience, the band—led by Mat Sinner (bass, vocals) and Ralf Scheepers (vocals)—continues to evolve their sound. Following the success of their previous album Code Red (2023), which reached some of the highest chart positions of their career, expectations for Domination are soaring. The addition of talented guitarist Thalìa Bellazecca and former touring drummer André Hilgers has injected fresh energy into the band, making them more than ready to meet these high expectations.
