Primal Fear-Nuclear Fire

Metal Mind
2001/2011

Primal Fear's third album Nuclear Fire originally came out in January of 2001 following up the band's 1999 release Jaws of death. Former Sinner guitarist Henry Wolter was brought into the band before the recording of this album. This album picks up where "Jaws of death" left off. More Judas Priest inspired metal as songs like the blazing "Angel in black" and the hard hitting "Kiss of death" sound very much like material from Priest's Painkiller. However Primal Fear put some of their own ideas into this album as well. Songs like "Back from hell" and "Fight the fire" are dominated by intensity that they only hinted on their previous albums. The title track is a soaring song that will have you nodding your head throughout. So there are not a great deal of changes since "Jaws of death" but instead they seem to have been building upon the same sound from that album. If anything they sound even more comfortable and confident on "Nuclear Fire". This 2011 re-issue includes a band biography, four bonus tracks and a video clip and Angel in black. Another great job by Metal Mind.
