Primal Fear: il lyric video di ‘Cancel Culture’
I Primal Fear, in vista della pubblicazione del loro nuovo album “Code Red”, in uscita domani, 1 settembre, per Atomic Fire Records, hanno diffuso il lyric video di ‘Cancel Culture’.
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!”

Code Red will be available in digipak CD, 2xLP in multiple color variants, and digitally.

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.
