 HEAVY AS HELL
Submitted on: 2009-08-30 |

yup.....this album is heavy as hell!!! primal fear are in full speed/power metal form for this opus which will have your head banging throughout the whole ride.
the album kicks off with the superior track ANGEL IN BLACK, which is easily one of the best and heaviest songs PF have ever created.
now i'm not going to do a 'song by song' review for this cd. i'll just say that after the opening track this album does not let up and will pummel you into metal bliss. i keep seeing reviews that state that this cd is 'painkiller pt 2' but i really dont see it. both are amazing albums and we all know that PF has it's influence deeply rooted in priest but still, this album sounds nothing like painkiller.
the only downside to this album is the bonus track LIVING FOR METAL. it's extremely cheesy and not very good. PF has done a bunch of songs about their love of/for metal but this is not one of the good ones. it's the only blemish on an otherwise awesome metal opus by a band that is obviously in great form here. |

Nuclear Fire explodes!

For those of you new to Primal Fear, they are a metal band from Germany. Their vocalist, Ralf Scheepers, sounds EXACTLY like Rob Halford from Judas Priest (and actually applied for Halford's job when the latter departed Priest after 20 years).
"Nuclear Fire" (2001) is Primal Fear's third album. In my opinion, this is where Primal Fear first started firing on all cylinders.
The album starts with the explosive thrash of "Angel in Black" and ends with the glorious anthem "Living for Metal". And every song in between is good. The only (comparatively) weak track is "Kiss of Death", which borrows too much from Priest's "Hell Patrol" for its own good.
The band is tight, the guitar leads are exceptional, and they throw in a nice ballad ("Bleed for Me") to prevent monotony.
No longer do we have to imagine what the sequel to Painkiller, if Halford had stayed with Priest, would sound like. It would sound like "Nuclear Fire". 'Nuff said. |

Awesome from start to Finish!

If you like Judas Priest and you loved their Painkiller release, this cd is for you.
I can't call them clones as that would be unfair to their obvious song writing talent and yes these guys can write!!
This cd is true metal heaven from start to finish. It's got it all, killer riffs, amazing melodies, bitchin' solo's, tight rhythms section and truly inspiring vocals.
A true must have for any metalhead!! |

Tied With Black Sun For The Best Of Primal Fear!
Submitted on: 2006-09-05 |

| I really like this album. It is heavy, bright and energizing, as opposed to boring and flawed like Seven Seals. All of the band members do a fine job delivering great music to our ears on this album. I think Nuclear Fire and Black Sun are Primal Fear's best. But listen to some samples, and you decide. |

Another band that receives far too much dirt
Submitted on: 2005-03-03 |

| I can't say that I own the third album by Germany's "metal troopers" Primal Fear, 2001's 'Nuclear Fire,' but I can say this: Ralf, Mat, and the rest of the guys receive way too much undeserved dirt from people. In my opinion, me owning their fourth album, 'Black Sun,' their style may not be that original (e.g. opening track "Angel In Black," which I have seen a pretty tight video clip for on Launch, has a riff and vocal style similar to that of Judas Priest's "Painkiller,) but at least they are always able to come up with great new guitar parts without recycling old ones. And a few recycled riffs never hurt now and again...do they? Anyways, I have sampled this album enough to give it a perfect review, and once I almost bought this instead of 'Black Sun' (I was also looking with a sharp eye at their latest, 2004's 'Devil's Ground.') Anyways, I recommend Primal Fear to metalheads everywhere, but above all, I recommend them to fans of Helloween, Gamma Ray, Sinner, Iced Earth, and Judas Priest. |
