Primal Fear vocalist Ralf Scheepers is featured in a new interview with Blistering.com discussing the band's new album, Unbreakable. An excerpt is available below:

Blistering.com: You guys are always so productive and it's not like churning out subpar albums. Where does the work ethic and drive come from for Primal Fear?

Scheepers: "Actually, we're a good team. We have four writers: Mat, Magnus [Karlsson], Alex [Beyrodt], and me for this album and everybody has great ideas and we have a certain kind of 'set' when composing a new album. We first sit together and talk about what we want to do and with this album, we wanted to get back to what we were doing on the first album, the Primal Fear self-titled album and Jaws of Death, and some energy parts from Nuclear Fire as well. So this was in our heads when we started to compose the album. We wanted to get back a little bit."

Blistering.com: That's what I was thinking too upon my first couple of listens. Because you have established your sound and have had it for so long, does that make it easier to come up with material?

Scheepers: "It definitely does. It comes absolutely natural; you don’t have to be pretending something, you just go ahead and do what you love to do and that's what's happening. If Mat or Magnus come up with a song and I put some lyrics to it, it's like they already knew what I was going to do with it. Over the years we've grown together as a great writing team, and I think it shows."

Blistering.com: You and Mat have been with the band since the beginning, so has your dynamic grown even stronger over the years?

Scheepers: "Being friends over the years and spending time together, plus having trust...that's the most important thing. We've been through the thick and thin over the years and the bad things with the business and internal stuff, we've grown together even more. We have a responsibility...to ourselves, to the music we're doing, and also the fanbase we have, and that's what we still keep in mind, and keeps us going. That's the reason why we called the album Unbreakable."
