 (9 Customer Reviews)
Who needs Judas Priest when you have Primal Fear? Seriously, given the British metal gods' move towards thrash, post-1990's seminal Painkiller, the German quintet, led by former Gamma Ray frontman Ralf Scheepers (himself once considered to replace Halford) arguably sounds more like classic, '80s period Priest than the real deal. Heck, Rob Halford never shrieked a heavy metal standard-bearing anthem more gallantly (or, admittedly, shrilly) than album opener "Metal Is Forever." Yes, it is forever, my sore-necked, headbanging friends -- or at least just under an hour, going by this, the group's fifth album, Devil's Ground. Sifting through the 12 tracks on offer here: "In Metal" is another call for the metal troops to stand up and be counted, "Visions of Fate," "Soul Chaser," and "Colony 13" balance their generous doses of adrenalin with very memorable choruses, while "The Healer" and the semi-epic "Wings of Desire" are both fine, dramatic slower numbers -- mostly devoid of silly sentiment, but guaranteed to bring out those lighters just the same. And with the help of newly acquired drummer Randy Black's (borrowed from Canadian thrashers Annihilator) nifty footwork on the likes of "Sacred Illusion" and "Sea of Flames" (the latter also piercing a few eardrums courtesy of Scheepers' screams), Primal Fear does open the speed metal envelope after all. As usual, guitar solos are often as much highlights as the songs themselves, as both Stefan Leibing and returning founder Tom Naumann are capable of firing them off at will. In short, few heavy metal bands, Teutonic or otherwise, can whip out the steel like Primal Fear -- it's not very original, but its always dependable. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

 Metal Is Alive And Well
I've been a fan of Primal Fear for a while now and all i can say is if you like true heavy metal (not nu-metal crap) buy this. The songs are heavy and melodic with great chorus. Ralf is an incredible singer. If you like Judas Priest and power metal in general you'll love this. I very strongly recomend to get the live dvd History of Fear also.

Best Metal Band ot this time
Primal Fear's Devil's Ground is just an awesome album from the first song through the last on. I think some of these newer bands need to take a page from Primal Fear's book.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Very under-rated album.
Most Primal Fear fans point to Nuclear Fire and Black Sun as their focal points when it comes to Primal Fear's best. Well, that may be true to some extent for that era of Primal Fear, but Devil's Ground and the follow-up Seven Seals are just as good. They are different however, but that's a good thing. You can't copy Priest's "Painkiller" sound forever, which is what I believe PF's first four albums did. The latest two seemed to have matured a bit. They've added orchestrations to some songs giving them a bit more substance, if you will. Their new 2007 album looks to be following up on the Seven Seals sound even more. But if you like good hard rocking speed/power metal with Halford-like vocals, then Primal Fear's Devil's Ground album is for you.

These four discs comprise the complete selection of alternate and master takes from Charlie Parker's Dial sessions in Hollywood and New York in 1946 and 1947 (plus an informal jam session from the home of Chuck Kopely in Los Angeles, shortly after Bird got out of the California State Hospital at Camarillo). This is the first time they've been available in one package since being issued on Warner Bros. in the late '70s. Individual discs containing the master takes alone are available from Stash as THE LEGENDARY DIAL MASTERS, VOL. 1 & 2.
Recorded between February 5, 1946 and December 17, 1947. Contains a booklet featuring track-by-track annotations, complete recording and personnel information, alternate titles, original source tunes and liner notes by Will Friedwald and Thomas Cunniffe.
Recorded between 1945 and 1947. Includes liner notes by J.G. Calvados.
This 39-track anthology collects all of the master takes saxophone legend Charlie Parker recorded for Dial Records, including "Ornithology."
In 1946 and 1947, Parker participated in nine sessions for the fledgling Dial Records and, in the process, recorded some of the most important music in the history of jazz. Parker virtually reinvented the language of the idiom--not only for the saxophone, but for all instruments. And it is in these sessions that Parker shines brightest, blowing his brilliant imagination into dazzlingly constructed lines of the highest harmonic complexity with the sharpest technical virtuosity.
It's hard to ask for a better track list. Some of the finest compositions of the bop era, many of which are penned by Parker, are here in their original, definitive versions. "Ornithology," "A Night In Tunisia," "Lover Man," "Relaxin' At Camarillo," and "Scrapple From The Apple" are only a few of the ...
