The band's genesis dates back to 1997, when vocalist Ralf Scheepers, already known for his work with the band Gamma Ray, teamed up with bassist and producer Mat Sinner, a veteran of the German metal scene. The duo quickly recruited talented members to complete the initial line-up, notably Ralf Scheepers, whose impressive voice is often compared to that of Rob Halford.

Primal Fear's self-titled debut album was released in 1998, immediately establishing the band as a force to be reckoned with in the heavy metal world. The album was hailed for its raw energy, hard-hitting guitar riffs and Scheepers' impressive vocal performance. From then on, Primal Fear went on to release a series of successful albums.

Over the years, the band's composition underwent a few adjustments, but the central core of Ralf Scheepers, Mat Sinner and guitarist Tom Naumann ensured musical stability. The band has also relied on talented musicians such as guitarist Stefan Leibing and drummer Randy Black to complete its line-up.

Notable Primal Fear albums include "Nuclear Fire" (2001), which cemented their status on the international scene, and "Devil's Ground" (2004), which won praise for its blend of epic compositions and vocal performances. "16.6 (Before the Devil Knows You're Dead)" (2009) was also well received, testifying to the band's ability to remain relevant in an ever-changing musical landscape. Primal Fear are still going strong, regularly delivering good old-fashioned heavy speed metal, including 2023's "Code Red", a perfect blend of raw power and catchy melodies.
