I love Primal Fear. I don’t care much for Power Metal, but I
love Primal Fear. They satisfy me on a number of levels: they’re catchy, and
they’re fun, and they are memorable. For me at least, as I’ve certainly seem
more than a few people state the exact opposite of my favorable position on the
band. But I picked up Jaws of Death in
late 1999 and was pretty much instantly in love. Despite that, I’ve actually
missed a pretty large swath of the Primal career, mostly due to my general
disinterest in Power Metal as a whole. I like a few albums over the span of
that genre, but I don’t pay enough attention to it to feel a need to sample new
bands or too many different releases. I don’t know Primal Fear to the extent
that I know which albums came in which order, but I had a three record love
affair with the band spanning Jaws of
Death, Nuclear Fire and Black Sun.
