(Mazur) In the midst of a world tour to support its new album, "16.6 (Before the Devil Knows You're Dead)," German metallers Primal Fear will hit North America for a week of dates.The US run will be sponsored by BW&BK magazine and will kick off September 7 in Iowa, and conclude in Montreal on September 13. The tour will include stop at the famed ProgPower USA festival in Atlanta on September 10.
"Everyone in Primal Fear is electrified about coming to the US and Canada," said Mat Sinner. "We got such a great feedback for our new album '16.6' and we know that it is time to focus more on our waiting fans in the US and Canada. We can promise a two-hour Primal Fear best-of show with a focus on our new album."
Primal Fear's "16.6" was released June 9 in America via Frontiers Records. Easily the most powerful, ambitious and interesting album in the band's history, the vibe of songs like the opening track "Riding the Eagle," "Killbound," or "Under the Radar" are reminiscent of the "Nuclear Fire" album but the whole album features all the trademarks of the Primal Fear sound - a the total dedication to pure metal.
Primal Fear will return to North America in early 2010 after fulfilling commitments in Europe, Asia, and South America.
