German power metalers Primal Fear is all about
consistency. The Tuetonic titans’ ninth release, Unbreakable, has the
same kind of musical vibe and guitar tone as their eponymous 1999 debut
release. Honestly, the band is pretty much doing the same thing they’ve done
from the beginning. And that’s a good thing.
Scheepers is one of the ultimate power metal
screamers. His vocal range and delivery is highly exceptional. At almost an
hour in length and containing 12 tracks, Unbreakable is an
exceptional power metal album through and through. A couple of songs in the
last half of the CD could have been trimmed a little, but the album as a
whole is quite enjoyable and the interest level continues from the first
song to the last.
Scheepers is in fine form as always. You know
it’s Primal Fear from the get-go. The skills of guitarists Alex Beyrodt
(Voodoo Circle, Sinner, Silent Force) and Magnus Karlsson, whose flashy
solos and dominating riffs permeate the record. Co-originator Mat Sinner,
who’s been with Scheepers since PF’s 1997 inception, and drummer Randy Black
are still a formidable rhythm section.
Unbreakable
is pretty solid through out. It’s undeniably Primal Fear.
