Tied With Nuclear Fire For The Best Of Primal Fear!.......2006-09-05

I really like this album. It is heavy, bright and energizing, as opposed to boring and flawed like Seven Seals. All of the band members do a fine job delivering great music to our ears on this album. I think Black Sun and Nuclear Fire are Primal Fear's best. But listen to some samples, and you decide.

HAHAHA, no........2006-07-08

When I bought this I had just started started listening to Priest. All my music ends up getting shuffled by Winamp, so I had moments where I couldn't distinguish Primal Fear from Judas Priest...but not for long.. Primal Fear has the skill, but none of the soul. The lyrics are cheesy and the guitar work screams "Look, look, I'm just as good!" Another thing: Somewhere in the lyric book is the singer showing off his Primal Fear tattoo. Sour grapes for not getting picked over Ripper Owens? Get over it, buddy.

The whole album isn't bad, but I ended up throwing it in the trash (literally). It annoyed me after a while. Skip it and go get Demolition or Painkiller by Priest.

This cd is good but people are being a little. .............2005-05-26

misleading. Matt Sinner doesnt have blazing solos like one guy said because he plays bass, not guitar. Also Ralf doesn lower his vocals either he does vocal trade off with Matt sinner, oh and Metal Mike Chlasciak plays guitar on the last song. Light Years From Home is the best song on here. Buy it or forever be stuck in metal boredom, also pick up Dream Evils Dragon Slayer for two really kick ass albums.

Primal Fear's best and one of their heaviest to date........2005-02-09

Primal Fear's fourth album, 'Black Sun,' is the last that the band would record with their original lineup (shortly before the release of 2004's 'Devil's Ground,' guitarist Benny and drummer Klaus quit and were replaced by Tom Naumann and Randy Black.) For the record, Primal Fear is not the most original power metal outfit, some may call them a Judas Priest clone in a power metal coating, I call them a distant cousin from Germany. However, in spite of that, they still pack a rock-solid punch, and have a vocalist who can sing, as well as a guitar duo, bassist and drummer who can each REALLY PLAY (that's something I look for in power metal bands, for there are a handful who have such a cliched style, they shouldn't even move forward.)

The highlights are as follows: the title track is a demonstration of how power metal records typically open: fast and frantic (though not as fast as the openers by bands like Sonata Arctica or Dragonforce.) Preceding it is an instrumental prelude, but it leads right in to the song. Track 3, "Armageddon," is a terrific, ultra-heavy, mid-tempo song on the topic of 9-11. The little intro of the solo section instantly made me think of Van Halen. And track 6, "Fear," is so heavy, it hurts. The style of the song (minus the vocals) reminded me of At The Gates, who were one of the heaviest bands EVER. Overall, I highly recommend it to power metal fans, particularly of Gamma Ray, Helloween, and Iced Earth.

This cd leaves me speechless. I cannot give these guys enough praise. This cd rocks from beginning to end. Adrenaline-fueled with fast guitars, booming drums, and Halfordlistic vocals. Ralf Scheepers has a lot of talent as the band's frontman. Mat Sinner is amazing with every shredding solo he does with his guitar. This cd was my first introduction to the band. After hearing it I quickly ordered the rest of them. This band definately delivers and does not disappoint. Check them out and CRANK IT UP!
