PRIMORDIAL – TO THE NAMELESS DEAD
PRESS RELEASE
So we are finally
finished the recording of our sixth album. After a few rain sodden weeks locked
up in Foel Studios in North Wales “To The Nameless Dead” is for all but
mastering and final artwork completed.
This time far away
from the chaos and negative influences of a big city the recording process was
far smoother and more complete then we have ever known. We left at the end
quietly satisfied as opposed to feeling like our nerves were shot and far more
stressed then we began. Much of this we owe to Chris Fielding who engineered it
and put many long hours into its creation and to Dave Anderson who has created
something we can only call a “good vibe” in the middle of nowhere far from the
meddling influence of civilisation….immense thanks.
The sound is of
course instantly recognisable as Primordial but more powerful then before,
heavier and richer with a much more rounded sound then before. Whereas The
Gathering Wilderness was a dark often impenetrably bleak work “To The Nameless
Dead” has found the fire in its veins to defy, to rebel, to stand up and oppose
all. This is a vast and epic album, more pounding and full of rage then
Primordial has been for many a winter…
It is defiantly at
odds with a modern metal scene that often seems to place banality, mediocrity
and safety above passion, honesty and truth. It does not sound like a computer
recorded it, it does not sound like a procession of riffs simply poached from
metals founding fathers, it is not a mindless exercise in musical masturbation.
This is Metal is it was meant to be played. With Passion…
We play music because
we have to…this is in our veins. This is our culture, our history, our folklore,
our heritage. We make no apologies, we will not compromise. And now with our
sixth album “To The Nameless Dead” we are about to make our strongest statement
yet…
