TYRAN PACE, F.B.I. and GAMMA RAY) and bass player Mat Sinner (SINNER). The band formed in the wake of Ralph becoming second choice of JUDAS PRIEST and a contract with Nuclear Blast was soon landed. This is the band\u00b4s ninth album, so they are probably doing something right. A couple of band members have been changed, so today the band consists of Ralph and Mat, plus guitarists Alex Beyrodt (SILENT FORCE, VOODOO CIRCLE) and Magnus Carlsson (household name of Frontiers projects),and drummer Randy Black (ex. ANNIHILATOR). So, will this be their number one achievement?<\/p>\n<p>The opening intro \u201cUnbreakable (Part 1)\u201d is a nonplus entry, customary to power metal. But from then on things happen fast. \u201cStrike\u201d is an archetypal power metal track \u2013 from a US band. The riff has loads of bite and the almost cracking-up voice fits like a glove. The album is almost filled to the brim with heavy power metal of US, German and PRIMAL FEAR origin. The video track \u201cBad Guys Wear Black\u201d has a familiar ring to it, but it is a killer song. Even more so are the classic heavy metal in \u201cGive Em Hell\u201d, the mid-paced and neatly refrained \u201cMetal Nation\u201d and the almost Eurovision Song Contest tinged \u201cAnd there Was Silence\u201d. The letdowns are mostly towards the latter part of the album, \u201cmarching Again\u201d is a kind of filler, at least on this caliber of material, and their venture into prog light, \u201cWhere Angels Die\u201d, is simply not a good enough idea to last nine minutes. But as a whole the album ill not fail the band\u00b4s many fans and they will enter the charts\u2026again. <\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nUnbreakable (Part 1)<br \/>\nStrike<br \/>\nGive Em Hell<br \/>\nBad Guys Wear Black<br \/>\nAnd There Was Silence<br \/>\nMetal Nation<br \/>\nWhere Angels Die<br \/>\nUnbreakable (Part 2)<br \/>\nMarching Again<br \/>\nBorn Again<br \/>\nBlaze of Glory<br \/>\nConviction<\/p>\n<p>www.frontiers.it www.myspace.com\/primalfearofficial <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frontiers\/BAM PRIMAL FEAR was formed in 1997 by vocalist Ralph Scheepers (ex.
