PRIMAL FEAR Announce New Members
June 13, 2015, 9 years ago
Although the band played a few shows with Aquiles Prieste (ex-Angra), including the Knockout Festival and their 70000 Tons Of Metal performances, Francesco Jovino is now the Primal Fear drummer. Jovino has spent a decade behind the kit for U.D.O. After two years touring with Primal Fear, founding guitarist Tom Naumann rejoins the band as an official, full member. Magnus Karlsson will remain a member of the band and will co-write the new album with the band.
The recordings of the new Primal Fear album will start in mid-July at Hansen Studio in Denmark with producer Mat Sinner and engineer Jacob Hansen. 12 songs are already written, in pre-production. The new album is scheduled for worldwide release in January 2016, via Frontiers Music.
The band has posted the following message to their fans:
"To all Primal Fear and Aquiles Priester FANS around the world! We knew it would be a hard mission for us, but we’ve given it a try and unfortunately, to combine our present obligations and our future endeavors, it has become impossible to have a cohesive band together. Due to our schedules and the distance between the continents we have decided to part ways. From both sides we do not have any regrets at all and we are very happy that we have tried our best to make it happen. We are all still good friends and we wish all the best for each other in the future.”
