Dublin's finest metal exports, Primordial, will release their long-anticipated new studio album, Where Greater Men Have Fallen, later this fall via Metal Blade Records.

Primordial's 2011-released Redemption At The Puritan's Hand full-length and boasts some of the band's deepest, most meticulously composed compositions to date. The eight-track, fifty-eight minute epic was tracked at Grouse Lodge in Dublin with Jaime Gomez (Cathedral, Angelwitch, Grave Miasma).

Singer A.A. Nemtheanga elaborates: "Some time at the end of 2013 we sat and began to plot a course for album number eight. We moved camp to a new rehearsal room and the ideas began to take shape. We felt it was time to try a new studio and engineer so we went to Grouse Lodge deep in the middle of Ireland and employed Gomez to come over and work on the new album."

The band's idea was, of course, to keep the Primordial trademarks intact while incorporating a broader, heavier more organic sound. "We feel revitalized, the hunger never left and we are ready for another chapter to be written in our history!"

Nemtheanga comments: "After the success of this year's Bloodstock appearance, not to mention our two night stand in the UK for the last album, we can now announce a three date tour of the UK next February in support of our forthcoming Where Greater Men Have Fallen album. First support comes from up and coming Irish band Malthusian and a yet to be revealed main support will be announced in time. The UK has always been a loyal and dedicated stronghold for Primordial so we are proud to be coming back under the speed of album number 8!
