PRIMAL FEAR & Bullet For My Valentine
Primal Fear have released the following statement: "It's amusing what a single guitar riff can initiate. Of course we recognized some similarities to our song "Evil Spell" when we heard the opening guitar riff of the new "Bullet For My Valentine" album "Scream Aim Fire". We know the guys and we shared the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver for some weeks in the end of 2005. What we think about this? We love metal and we're adults. We like the music of "Bullet For My Valentine" and we have a lot of respect for their work. Cool songs, a fantastic production and great guys! If the guitar work in one song is very similar to a Primal Fear riff or song, we're ok with it and not out for any trouble … and we don't want to receive another 150 mails about this matter - we're fine and it's great if "Scream Aim Fire" has a little PF vibe!"
In related news, for the first time in 10 years, Primal Fear will play two shows in Russia - Moscow & St. Petersburg. Mat Sinner says: "We're really excited to play these special shows and we know, that a lot of fans in Russia waiting for a long time to rock with PF! Even better, it will be a part of the "10 Years Of Metal" tour and will take place in September! ..... and another additional great festival is confirmed in Belgium - check out the tourdates!"
