PRIMAL FEAR was founded in 1998 by the legendary metal shouter Ralf Scheepers (ex-GAMMA RAY), SINNER frontman & bassist Mat Sinner and Tom Naumann (SINNER). With their self-titled debut "Primal Fear" the band went straight on position 48 in the German charts and marked the first step of the German Metal Commando on their way to the top of Europeans leading Heavy Metal acts. The follow up "Jaws Of Death" presented PRIMAL FEAR musically more sophisticated, more aggressive. The album led to tours through the USA, Brazil, Argentina and earned great responses everywhere. "Nuclear Fire" took PRIMAL FEAR to another climax: Clear and powerful produced by Mat Sinner himself the album featured several absolute killer songs and broke lose a real PRIMAL FEAR hysteria. The record charted high in the international hit lists (e.g. # 37 in Germany, # 71 in Italy, # 77 in Switzerland and on # 23 in Japan) and brought the band sold out venues all across Europe, Brazil and even the USA.
