Fans of German metal commandos PRIMAL FEAR, listen up. Code Red is almost here! In advance of the record’s officially unveiling tomorrow, Friday, September 1st via Atomic Fire, the band offers up a final appetizer with “Cancel Culture.” Accompanied by a captivating lyric video created by Ingo Spörl of Hard Media, the track is themed around a topic that has been heavily discussed in recent years.

Producer/bassist Mat Sinner comments, “There are countries where you just disappear if you speak your mind. These are intolerable conditions. But I’m not backing down. I’ve always been a rebel; I don’t want to conform. And I don’t have to play in certain countries either. It’s that simple.”

Adds frontman Ralf Scheepers, “The way the culture of having discussions with each other has gone down the drain has become unbearable. People tend to have no more respect for each other and that’s a dangerous development and perspective. It’s the same sad development with all these ‘keyboard warriors’ out there who hide behind a made up user name to release their hate, jealousy, or frustration. I will never take this as a ‘Welcome to the Internet’ invitation; it’s simply a no go!”

Recorded in Germany at Sebastian “Basi” Roeder’s Backyard Studios, with the helping hands of vocalist Ralf Scheepers as well as Mitch Kunz, Code Red was produced by bassist Mat Sinner and co-produced by Scheepers and guitarist Tom Naumann. Long-time PRIMAL FEAR companion Jacob Hansen took care of mixing and mastering at his own Hansen Studios in Denmark once again. Additionally, Stan W. Decker, who created previous works for the band including 2017’s Angels Of Mercy – Live In Germany, 2018’s Apocalypse, and 2021’s I Will Be Gone, provided the record’s magnificent artwork.

“…a prime PRIMAL FEAR album which surpasses Metal Commando and is about of the same quality as their great debut – eagle promise!” — Stormbringer

“PRIMAL FEAR has a fearsome back catalog, and this is equal to anything else they have released. The sounds are huge, and the performances are world-class, especially from Scheepers who shows right here why he is regarded so highly. Want metal? Here it is in all its glory.” — My Global Mind
