Primal Fear

On October 4, 2026, Primal Fear takes over Petit Bain, 7 Port de la Gare, in Paris’s 13th arrondissement. Founded in 1997 by vocalist Ralf Scheepers and bassist Mat Sinner, the band embodies a straightforward vision of German heavy/power metal: fast riffs, melodic twin guitars, prominent high-range vocals and choruses crafted to stick in your head. From their self-titled debut and Nuclear Fire to Rulebreaker, Apocalypse and Metal Commando, their discography alternates between speed-driven tracks, heavier mid-tempo numbers and power ballads, all carried by dark themes of war, apocalypse and obscure spirituality.

On stage, the Scheepers/Sinner core relies on a seasoned line-up for a set that moves between full-frontal assaults and more melodic passages, while still delivering the expected classics. Expect crisp twin leads, tight, punchy breaks and a solid rhythm section, with the mix of energy and precision that has defined the band since its beginnings. A Paris date to experience the DNA of German power metal live and up close.
