PRIMAL FEAR - "16.6" - Frontiers Records - 2009


Primal Fear returns with "16.6" in what seems only months after "New Religion", but in reality in has been 18 months. I suppose the "Sinner" album in between made is seem like less time. "16.6" is along the same lines as "New Religion", but without as much orchestral sounds and the ballads with opera singers. Sinner claims it goes back to the days of Nuclear Fire, but it's much more diverse than their earlier material. Primal Fear have actually become much more accessible than before, they're not just doing music for the Hardcore fans, I think more women can appreciate the music. Having said that, don't think they have gone soft, they just are more diverse and aren't afraid to do more melodic mid-tempo material. "16.6" is more evidence that Primal Fear is at the top of their game and the Metal world.
