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 than 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
