PRIMAL FEAR frontman Ralf Scheepers issued the following brief update:

"I’m still collecting ideas and riffs... and I can’t wait to start the production together with Mat (Sinner, Primal Fear bassist). I’ve signed a deal with Frontiers Records and we will make this happen during the coming months. I will welcome a lot of interesting guests and if my plan will become reality, it’s a dream come true with a killer concept and strong songs!"
