Primal Fear is a PowerMetal band that has its origins at half of TheNineties.

Ralf Scheepers sang in different bands before landing the lead vocalist role in ''Music/GammaRay'', with whom he recorded three albums before a series of events led him to leave it. ([[UrbanLegendOfZelda Contrary to popular belief]], he NEVER auditioned for ''Music/JudasPriest'') Thus his next step in music would be the formation of ''Primal Fear'', alongside ''Music/{{Sinner}}'' members.

Not to be confused with [[Film/PrimalFear the movie]] of the same name, and, of course, with [[PrimalFear the trope]] of the same name.

!!This band provides examples of:

--> ''We better separate ways or hate is getting stronger.\\
Last chapter in the act, two more broken hearts.\\
(...)\\
My dedication to the past, I'm gonna draw the line.\\
You hit me with an iron fist in a velvet glove.''
* CarefulWithThatAxe: Ralf is capable of keeping a high note for a long time. Take, for example, the chorus of "Iron Fist In A Velvet Glove", where he keeps a high note during the chorus while his bandmates sing it.
* CivilWar: "Battalions of Hate"
* ConceptAlbum:
** ''Black Sun'' is about a space exploration mission.
** Of sorts with ''Seven Seals'', as it's about the battle between heaven and hell.
* CorruptChurch: "Church Of Blood"
* CoverVersion: They've covered many songs for tributes and whatever: "[[Music/{{Accept}} Breaker]]", "[[Music/{{Rainbow}} Kill The King]]", Moore/Lynott's "Out In The Fields", "[[Music/DeepPurple Speed King]]", "[[Music/BlackSabbath Die Young]]", "[[Music/JudasPriest Metal Gods]]", "[[Music/{{Metallica}} Seek and Destroy]]", "[[Music/IronMaiden 2 Minutes To Midnight]]" and "[[Music/LedZeppelin The Rover]]".
* GriefSong: One of the interpretations of "In Memory", about Ralf Scheepers's sister.
* HeavyMeta:
** "Metal Is Forever":
--> ''Faster beats are pounding\\
While the fans are shouting\\
Metal is forever\\
In every single matter\\
Metal is forever\\
Nations come together''
** "Living for Metal" is about the whole cycle of a metalhead: you start listening to a band, then get your friends onto the genre, then you form a band.
* HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: "Seven Seals".
* LargeHam: Ralf Scheepers.
* LastStand: "Final Embrace"
--> ''I will fight my own fight\\
I will break through their lines\\
Take the last chance to survive''
* MultinationalTeam: In the current formation, Germans Ralf Scheepers, Mat Sinner (real name: Matthias Lasch), Tom Naumann, and Alex Beyordt share the band with Swedish Magnus Karlsson and Italian Francesco Jovino. Past members also included Canadian Randy Black and South African Aquiles Priester.
* PowerMetal

* RebelLeader: "Chainbreaker"
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: "Hatred In My Soul"
* ScrewDestiny: "Visions of Fate", from ''Devil's Ground''.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: It's Ralf Sche''ep''ers or Ralf Sche''pp''ers?
