The verses feel like an intense showdown, with vocalist **Ralf Scheepers** delivering a fierce performance, driven by the relentless rhythm section of bassist **Mat Sinner** and drummer **André Hilger**. Adding to the firepower is the band’s new guitar dream team, **Thalìa Bellazecca** and **Magnus Karlsson**, trading off with precision and power. The intense call-and-response dynamic builds to a powerful, no-holds-barred chorus that sends a clear message: despite a few setbacks over the years, **PRIMAL FEAR** never considered calling it quits. The eagle was never gone, it was simply gathering strength, ready to soar once again and shake the metal world with an album that confidently claims its place among the top tier of heavy and power metal. *“Again, outta my way, I am the Primal Fear! No one can stop me and I’m gonna hunt you tonight, I’m your worst nightmare whenever you are trying to fool me!”* states** Scheepers**. ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/29801/image003-1.png) ***Domination*** was recorded at **Dennis Ward**’s **Kangaroo Studios** (**HELLOWEEN**, **ANGRA** etc.) in autumn 2024, produced by **Mat Sinner** and co-produced by **Ralf Scheepers** as well as **Magnus Karlsson. **Rounded off by multiple **PRIMAL FEAR** mixing/mastering engineer **Jacob Hansen** (**AMORPHIS**, **VOLBEAT** etc.) at his own studios in Denmark, the album artwork was designed by **Death.Milk.Designs**. ***Domination***** – Track Listing:** 01.

Bridges Will Burn **More from *****Domination:*** **About PRIMAL FEAR** Going strong for nearly three decades, the band founded and still led by **Mat Sinner** (bass, vocals) and **Ralf Scheepers** (vocals) have never let down their global fanbase. Relentless and constantly pushing their limits, **PRIMAL FEAR** ensure that no two albums ever sound the same. After **“Code Red”** [2023] hit some of the highest chart positions of their career, expectations for the next release were higher than ever. Now joined by gifted guitarist **Thalìa Bellazecca** and former touring drummer **André Hilgers**, the quintet were more than up for the challenge. And as **“Domination”** makes clear, no obstacle is too great for **PRIMAL FEAR**’s powerhouse songwriting trio – **Sinner**, **Scheepers**, and guitarist **Magnus Karlsson**, who also rejoins the band’s live line-up after several years away. From the hard-hitting opener **‘The Hunter’** and first single **‘Far Away,’** to the uplifting mid-tempo anthem **‘Tears Of Fire’** and the epic ballad **‘Eden’** – featuring a surprise guest appearance by **AD INFINITUM**’s **Melissa Bonny** – ***DOMINATION ***delivers on all fronts. Add in neck-breakers like **‘Scream’** and **‘Crossfire,’** and the reflective, string-and-piano-driven closer **‘A Tune I Won’t Forget,’** and it’s clear: **PRIMAL FEAR** aren’t here to reclaim the crown – they’re here to prove they’ve never left the throne of heavy/power metal royalty. **PRIMAL FEAR are:** Ralf Scheepers | vocals Mat Sinner | bass, vocals Magnus Karlsson | guitars Thalìa Bellazecca | guitars André Hilgers | drums **More on PRIMAL FEAR:** **[primalfear.de](https://www.promojukebox.com/nwldel/link/?nlsendlistid=10356983&checkcode=518dc19ea909c319&urlcc=a41384310737937c&acc=aFNoNHBRK1MxaW9jTldmdFhsSVREVnM1Q1dUc25JMFV0Zzg1MlZnSkc4Yz0%3D)** | **[Facebook](https://www.promojukebox.com/nwldel/link/?nlsendlistid=10356983&checkcode=518dc19ea909c319&urlcc=c4c44cabaf080e1e&acc=TnZBcEZnMy9kNEpIUENtUm9sMkRwOU5EMjNJU1Q5ejNBWDE1VktwcGFZMFRWUUNGUVM5ZGJ1RTVwaHdyNExpNw%3D%3D)** | **[Instagram](https://www.promojukebox.com/nwldel/link/?nlsendlistid=10356983&checkcode=518dc19ea909c319&urlcc=7a0e143b0428845b&acc=cjlkNE1Yc2xUSnBHZys3WjF1dDg5RkpoSkNoTk90K3Z4M09iTVdzUWREbmN0cVhCVFpRWlR3T1VCRVo1c0xQMQ%3D%3D)** | **[X](https://www.promojukebox.com/nwldel/link/?nlsendlistid=10356983&checkcode=518dc19ea909c319&urlcc=b829803c1be48af3&acc=NGx5QXNsRmd6amFoT1Z3M295RjBGZTVQUjJVYTlQcnhVVlVtb2hsOElrOGk4cDFuRVN5ckNoTUxQc0wxZXF2WQ%3D%3D)** | **[TikTok](https://www.promojukebox.com/nwldel/link/?nlsendlistid=10356983&checkcode=518dc19ea909c319&urlcc=9a8ea2d34a18c4c4&acc=cXdDV25zOGxBVVAyK3laR0tXc0FVTDEvNVFzRkFsUHduRkdEaVZJWCtaeEphKzRuZkhadjhlNFlNSHkzazhSVQ%3D%3D)** | **[RPM](https://www.promojukebox.com/nwldel/link/?nlsendlistid=10356983&checkcode=518dc19ea909c319&urlcc=c9e827c932f2cb6b&acc=RGd1RGttVjd4cXJETHZQN0Jmb2RQQ2RZMnMvM1dnSkxmcFVUT1daVEppMDZxUDJiMEgyNms4QmhUZm5EY1RudlE4RHJMVTZtTFRaQnY3d0d1N0dXeHc9PQ%3D%3D)** ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/29805/350650493_631923945216809_2910439797785066704_n.jpg)
