Commanding, fierce, and & triumphing since 1997 – there’s no better way to describe Germany’s premier power metal band, **PRIMAL FEAR**. The band have just unveiled details about their upcoming album ***Domination*** set to drop on **September 5, 2025** via **RPM**. Pre-orders are now open in a variety of physical formats and digital options here: **[https://primalfear.rpm.link/dominationPR](https://www.promojukebox.com/nwldel/link/?nlsendlistid=10007949&checkcode=f331eba4ce1a7bda&urlcc=ea61b5732fedf181&acc=SC9PN1h6eXByVEo1Y1ZtVTdiR29hc1F5blJhSUtoOWkxUnR5MFFpeTJad2ZXTkZMeDRaTWx6Z0p4V2k4NTE0TQ%3D%3D)**

To celebrate this announcement, the lead single **‘Far Away’** has officially landed on streaming platforms worldwide. Packed with all the signature elements of a classic **PRIMAL FEAR** anthem – soaring melodies, thunderous drums and bass, and a blistering twin-guitar solo – the track also carries a powerful sense of yearning, brought to life by **Ralf Scheepers’** unmistakable vocals. Filmed at **Dennis Ward**’s **Kangaroo Studios** in **Karlsdorf-Neuthard, Germany**, where the ***Domination ***recording sessions took place in late 2024, **‘Far Away’** is also available now as a performance-style music video on **YouTube**.

**Scheepers** explains the meaning behind the single: *“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.”*

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.
