German metal commandos PRIMAL FEAR are finally back! Following the release of their chart-breaking album “Metal Commando” (Switzerland: #6, Germany: #7, Austria #28 etc.) in 2020, the group have returned to unleash an 11-track magnum opus titled “Code Red” on September 1, 2023 through Atomic Fire. After unveiling first details alongside announcing release supporting tour dates earlier this year, PRIMAL FEAR launched a first taster of their new album at the beginning of June. Fans can watch a music video for opening track “Another Hero” which sets the tone for “Code Red” appropriately . Vocalist Ralf Scheepers underlines the song’s lyrical topic, “Sometimes I wish there would be ‘Another Hero’ who shows mankind how to get along with each other in peace and harmony.”
