German metal commandos PRIMAL FEAR are finally back! Following the release of their chart-breaking album “Metal Commando” (Switzerland: #6, Germany: #7, Austria #28 etc.) in 2020, the group have returned to unleash an 11-track magnum opus titled “Code Red” on September 1, 2023, through Atomic Fire Records. After unveiling first details alongside announcing release supporting tour dates earlier this year, PRIMAL FEAR have launched a first taster of their new album today.
Fans can now watch a music video for opening track “Another Hero,” which sets the tone for “Code Red” appropriately by delivering “Heavy metal in its purest form while breathing the spirit of current times!” as Rock It! (DE) magazine’s Jürgen Will stated after pre-listening to the record. Vocalist Ralf Scheepers underlines the song’s lyrical topic, “Sometimes I wish there would be ‘Another Hero’ who shows mankind how to get along with each other in peace and harmony.”
