Add Primal Fear to that elite group of "true" metal warriors. Upon listening to opener "Chainbreaker," which sounded very Judas Priest inspired, a bit of investigating took place. Vocalist Ralf Scheepers used to speak the metal language for Gamma Ray and almost found himself sitting on the throne of Judas Priest, until that position was "ripped" from him. So here he is, tearing up the speedways with Primal Fear, who specializes in creating the kind of headbanging, dual guitar, and metal mayhem listeners have come to expect from Germany. The sound is huge but not complex, just thick and massively produced. Kai Hansen (Gamma Ray alumnus) lends a helping guitar hand to the metal melee, his solos sounding top-notch as always. The only complaint would have to be the semi-juvenile lyrics that take away from certain songs. Highlights from the album include the aforementioned "Dollars" (not even cornball lyrics can ruin this metal classic), "Tears of Rage," "Promised Land," "Thunderdome," and the Deep Purple cover "Speedking." So put on your jean jacket and black leather pants and get ready to pound some beers. ~ Jason Hundey

Channeling vintage Judas Priest while adding a touch of thrash metal dynamics and layered vocals, Primal Fear comes galloping out of the metal underground once again on Black Sun. By concentrating just a little bit harder on the heaviness of the music, the band manages to deliver a more consistently engaging product than many of their contemporaries in the power metal field. The abrasive riffing is nicely offset by the melodic guitar work, which brings to mind late-'80s ...

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 ...
| | Enslaved Blodhemn CD (2001) (Import) Import; Netherlands
Primal Fear
$20.99 
Enslaved: Grutle Kjellson, Tvar Bjornson, R. Kronheim, Dirge Rep.
Originally released in Europe in 1998, Enslaved's fourth full-length album, the neo-progressive BLODHEMN, is finally available domestically for the first time. With razor-sharp production by Swedish metal legend Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain, Bloodbath), BLODHEMN ("Vengeance in Blood" in English) continues the Norwegian quartet's experimentation with Scandinavian folk elements and progressive rock. Enslaved unleashes a battering-ram of sound that is simultaneously traditional and forward-thinking.
Viking metal stalwarts Enslaved closed out the 1990s with their fourth full album, Blodhemn, taking advantage of the millennium threshold ahead to close the first chapter of their career from a stylistic point of view as well. From here on out (beginning with 2000's Mardraum), the group would transform its sound significantly with every record; but, although Enslaved's songwriting had never been anything less than inquisitive ...

| | Philipp Fankhauser Talk To Me CD (2004)
Primal Fear
$12.59
Talk To Me is the title of the latest album from Philipp Fankhauser, the highly regarded blues artist based in Thun, Switzerland, and his first for Memphis International Records. Fankhauser is well known to European audiences but he is also familiar to North Americans as a result of his role as guest vocalist with the band of the late blues great Johnny "Clyde" Copeland. While the bulk of Talk To Me is comprised of l Fankhauser originals it does include two Johnny Copeland compositions and Shemekia Copeland, Johnny's daughter and a renowned star in her own right, penned the liner notes. "Philipp will always be very special to the Copeland family; his music is special for just about everyone," she wrote.The album includes a version of "Members Only," a song that was an R&B hit for Bobby Bland in the 1980s and produced for Fankhauser by Dennis Walker (Robert Cray, B.B. King, Maria Muldaur) with an appearance by the Memphis Horns. Bobby Bland finally met Fankhauser in the '90s and expressed great admiration for the Swissman's interpretation of one of his signature songs.Downbeat's review of Talk To Me noted "Fankhauser doesn't sound the least bit like a visitor from Switzerland that unrealistically fancies himself a blues singer. He displays empathy for Johnny Copeland songs, and he dramatizes soul-blues originals without over extending his voice or wearing out his welcome will too strong a reverential tone."Despite the fact that he was born and raised in Switzerland, Fankhauser has long been inspired by American blues artists and he has dedicated much of his life to following in their footsteps. At the age of twelve, he was introduced to the music of Sunnyland Slim and, despite the fact that he could not understand the lyrics; he was completely captivated by the music. A few years later, he met Louisiana Red who took him on stage. Witnessing Montreux Jazz Festival performances in the early 1980s by Albert Collins, B.B. King, Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson, J.B. Hutto, Koko Taylor, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker and Stevie Ray Vaughan and, later, meeting and playing with Margie Evans Memphis Slim, Luther Allison, Katie Webster, Hubert Sumlin, Son Seals, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy and Jimmy Witherspoon turned him into a professional bluesman from an unlikely place. Philipp Fankhauser's meeting with Johnny Copeland in 1984 was a life changing experience as Copeland would become Philipp's mentor. Philipp began his recording career in earnest in the late 80s and continued to release albums into the next decade. Margie Evans was part of his first CD "Blues For The Lady" in 1989 and continues as a major influence. He moved to New York in 1994 to perform as part of Copeland's Texas Blues Machine and stayed in the U.S. after Copeland's tragic death in 1997, returning to Switzerland in 2000.

| | Peter Duval Lee Contemplation CD (2005)
Primal Fear
$16.45
Born and raised in Setauket, Long Island New York...Learning to play an instrument was a family requirement just like Saturday chores. Watching his father play, he was amazed at how Dad's big, long fingers could be so nimble. He decided that the guitar would be his instrument. Learning with the aid of one of the many Mel Bay guitar chord books, listening to Santana rip leads, his cousin Steven's playing and James Brown, he listened and listened and had a pretty good ear for picking out the rhythm guitar parts. Through the end of high school, Peter jammed with his cousins and he and his siblings started a contemporary gospel group. They played at some Long Island church events with Peter on guitar. This continued for a while until through family and personal trials the group "petered" out.He later spent some time at WUSB, Stony Brook University's radio station. Peter had a weekly show and visions of becoming a radio personality. Even though he enjoyed playing music selections that would not be heard on mainstream radio, spending hours in a stuffy, small room was not what he wanted to do. During this ending phase, the guitar was collecting dust and the radio personality dream was fading but music was still an important part of his life. Entering college, Peter continued to play, but only for himself. Peter graduated school with a Bachelors in Social Work. At this point, the guitar was definitely in the closet. In 1986, while working in Providence, music still pulsing in his bones, he had another "brilliant" idea. He began to review jazz artists releases for a small Providence newspaper called the Grapevine. He wrote for the Grapevine newspaper for about two years at which time the Grapevine closed. Later, The Providence American newspaper had begun and Peter was able to continue his reviews. During this time, some of Peter's most memorable reviews were written after seeing Cab Calloway, Sade, Marcus Miller, Santana, and Third World. Later, Peter took it to another level and developed a website which included excerpts of interviews with Marion Meadows, Bill Evans (saxophonist), Me Phi Mi, Heavy D, Vanessa Rubin, Patches Stewart, and Delfeayo Marsalis. As excited as Peter was with interviewing artists for his website, this didn't fully quench his thirst. With some equipment and his father's 1950's ES-125 Gibson, Peter started composing some of his rough ideas. Yet, listening to great guitarists like John Scofield, Hiram Bullock, Al Dimeola, and Santana, Peter never felt that his playing was even in the ballpark. Until "that" day he, Will (a close friend) and Wayne (who is a fabulous bass player) were listening to each other's music and supporting each other's projects. Wayne said, "you play your songs your style and you don't have to play like anyone else". As simple as that statement was, it was very liberating and in that, it freed Peter to get to know the guitar as he had been feeling it. One of his sisters who was writing and composing her own contemporary gospel music lent Peter all of her equipment and said, "Peter get busy". For Peter, when one is passionate about something they love to do... being "busy" is a great feeling.Peter DuVal Lee is still busy working on his music endeavor. The 2002 debut CD Reflections is a collection of ten songs written, composed and played ...
