Primal Fear's Reviews

Jaws of Death

(Average Rating: 7.82 out of 10)

Inferior to Nuclear Fire by a hair's breadth!

(Rated this album with 10 out of 10)
Reviewed by metalbeast from Nottingham, Nottinghamshire England

When I bought the first Primal Fear album earlier this year I was impressed. A few months later I bought 'Nuclear Fire', which is in my oppinion the best metal release of the year. I bought this album's successor first because a review I read said that Nuclear Fire was superior. I bought this album recently and I think that this is ONLY JUST inferior to Nuclear Fire. I think the change in guitarist (Stefan Leibing's new guitaring partner is Henny Wolter, formerly of Thunderhead and still a member of Sinner) made this slight difference, although Ralf Scheepers new haircut may have resulted in increased airflow around his head, cooling his brain and increasing his songwriting ability.

This album is truly excellent with some of the best songwriting and technical musicianship I have ever heard. This album and it's successor are in my oppinion among the classic albums of metal. If you like Nuclear Fire then this is an album you should own. I can thoroughly recommend it. Fans of Judas Priest's 'Painkiller' will also love this album. I cannot wait for the new album, being recorded at the moment, to come out next year. If Primal Fear can make improvements for the third album in a row then the new album will be astounding.
