Primal Fear Drop Four Members
Follow us on social media
We hate it when mommy and daddy fight, and we hate it even more when they split up. In this case, our parents are German power metal band Primal Fear, with the rift leading to an 80-20 split basically.
Yesterday (August 23), the band announced in a social media post that they’ve parted ways with guitarists Tom Naumann and Alex Beyrodt, drummer Michael Ehré and Alex Jansen, the latest addition to the band on bass. While they said there was “no argument or bad blood” that led to the separation, it still hasn’t been revealed exactly why the split happened in the first place.
The statement, which was released by Beyrodt, Naumann, Ehré and Jansen themselves, read as follows:
“Dear fans and friends of Primal Fear, we unfortunately have to inform you today that Alex Beyrodt, Tom Naumann, Michael Ehré and Alex Jansen, who helped us on bass for the last two years, are no longer part of the band Primal Fear. Triggered by decisions within the band that we do not agree with, this step was anything but easy for us to take. We would like to make it clear that despite the differences of opinion, there was no argument or bad blood.
“We would like to thank you for the time we spent together, the numerous albums, the tours, shows and festivals that have taken us around the world together, and of course for the love of the fans. We wish Mat and Ralf all the best for the future!”
Almost knife-twisting, bassist Mat Sinner, posted this shortly before the news broke: “Soon we will can reveal some surprising Primal Fear news. We will focus now on recording a new album and we’re totally excited! Have a great sunny weekend my friends, have a nice drink and crank up some cool music!” Yowza.
Vocalist Ralf Scheepers and Sinner are the only two left, and so far they have not shared their plans for replacing those fallen members.
