Sit down, books out, short excursion into the fascinating world of fauna: When a snake's skin gets too tight, it sheds its skin. Underneath, the same snake emerges. Only bigger, more unconsumed, more powerful. The same thing happened to Germany's most reliable heavy metal bastion Primal Fear on "Metal Commando". It has shed its skin. Underneath comes - thankfully! - the same, unmistakably forward-marching unit emerges. And at the same time a band that has grown. In height. In width. Into the depth. Those who celebrated Primal Fear before will fall on their knees in front of "Metal Commando". And if you haven't fallen for the southern German steel forges for whatever dubious reason, you have no choice now at the latest. The songs are simply too strong, the hooks too drilling, the choruses too big, the striking phalanx of three guitars too insurmountable and the riffs too unerring to offer any great resistance. "We are simply a strong team," laughs Sinner. Besides him and the vocal force of nature Ralf Scheepers, we are the guitarist of the first hour Tom Naumann, Alex Beyrodt and Magnus Karlsson on the other guitars and the new whirlwind on the drums, Michael Ehré.
