PRIMAL FEAR check in from the studio, where the band are recording their new album, Unbreakable:

"Just a short newsbreak from the recording studio - at the moment we're tracking guitars and bass. Everything works out great. Be prepared for some original Primal Fear riffs and overall it sounds very very promising. After the Wacken weekend was so much fun, we're really looking forward to the shows in Poland and the Metal Hammer Award show in Berlin.

In other news, we've extended our contract with Warner/Chappell for another three albums - a good sign in these days, that you can work with a company for over 13 years now and still be creative and friendly!"

Primal Fear drummer Randy Black recently posted drum cam footage from the band's performance at the 2011 edition of the Wacken Open Air, which took place in Wacken, Germany from August 4th - 6th. Check it out below:
