Primal Fear bassist / co-founder and Sinner frontman, Mat Sinner, has checked in with a new update:
“Six songs for the new Sinner album are mixed by the ‘magic’ Jacob Hansen. Very happy with the vibe, the power and final result. The first single/video, ‘Wait’, will be released on May 14. Next week, I will thank all the incredible singers who joined me on my journey, but today it’s time to thank the guys who played on the album especially Alex Scholpp and Moritz Müller, plus more contributions by Jim Müller, Lisa Müller, Mathias‘Don’ Dieth and Magnus Karlsson.
In addition, we’ve written already nine new songs for a new Primal Fear album, plus preparing for the forthcoming tour in Europe (March) and South America (April). And of course, watch out for the release of new music on February 20 – the new single and video of ‘One’. Have a great start into the new week.”
The new Sinner album will feature guest appearances from Erik Martensson (Eclipse), Ricky Warwick (Black Star Riders, The Almighty), Michael Sadler (Saga), Ronnie Romero, Michael Bormann (ex-Bonfire), Sascha Krebs (Rock Meets Classic), and Björn“Speed” Strid (Soilwork / The Night Flight Orchestra).
