Released on August 10, 2018, Apocalypse serves as the twelfth studio album from German power metal stalwarts Primal Fear
When German power metal juggernauts released their 13th studio album, Apocalypse , in August 2018, the metal world took notice. It was heavy, it was fast, and it featured Ralf Scheepers’ signature screams cutting through walls of riffage like a hot knife through butter.

The live tracks are sonically aggressive. They don’t have the sterile perfection of a studio mix; instead, they capture the air-moving punch of Scheepers’ voice and Magnus Karlsson’s guitar work in a festival hall. It’s the closest you’ll get to a time machine back to Loud Park 2017.
