PRIMAL FEAR bassist Mat Sinner is featured in a new interview with Sea Of Tranquility. An excerpt is available below.

SoT: Are your touring plans extensive now that the album's out, or has the current economic climate made you scale back at all?

Mat: No not at all, we're not joining the club of squealers. We don't moan about the situation. We're on the road to give our fans the possibility to have a good time and forget all their trouble for some hours and give them some positive power for their next days – vice versa!

SoT: There is a lot of experience between the members of Primal Fear; this must make recording and getting the desired results much easier than in those earlier years?

Mat: "All the musicians in Primal Fear have a great reputation and are highly ranked in the world of metal. It makes a lot of fun to write, record and playing on a stage together with these guys. This band is something very special. If you see the concert, you will realize this. The more talent the musicians have, the easier they are good quality compromises and enjoying their situation. We had much more difficult days in our history than today!"
