Ireland’s finest, PRIMORDIAL, start their “Heathen Crusade To Doomsday” tour and release Redemption at the Puritan’s Hand (Redux) to celebrate last year’s 10th anniversary of the album masterpiece. As a bonus, the album will be re-released digitally with additional demo versions of all album tracks.

Primordial vocalist A.A. Nemtheanga comments:
“Redemption at the Puritan’s Hand is just over a decade old, the world seems very different now, who knows where we tread, we are about to set out on tour, the last one before doomsday? Who knows. Take a bite out of the apple while you can and see you down the front. As for the Redux? We found lurking in an old folder somewhere the pre mixed, pre-master versions of the album, not quite the demos for the album but somewhere in between, the sound is quite different, maybe warmer on some level, but there are different vocal patterns and takes, leads in different places, the flesh on the bones of the album without perhaps the skin! ‘Redemption’ was an important milestone in the band’s career, a difficult album to make, full of complications, illness, and conflict before we even mention almost being stranded in the Welsh valleys in the harshest of Winters up to our hips in snow! We ask you now to take a chunk of the flesh and have a bite and celebrate over a decade of ‘Redemption’ together with our long term co conspirators over at the great Metal Blade Records! See you on the other side“

14 years after their first European ‘Heathen Crusade’ and only 2 years after the second Crusade, PRIMORDIAL and MOONSORROW will invade Europe again, bringing their double co-headliner brand to another 6 European countries during 9 days.

As very special guest they will bring the neo-folk one man act ROME to round up the tour package.

Moonsorrow guitarist Mitja Harvilahti states:
“Hark ye heathens!
The time has come for Heathen Crusade 3. We shall join forces with our brethren Primordial from the Republic of Ireland! We have toured together many times since 2006 and it’s about time we bring this package to some new cities as well as familiar ones. The age of gods has come to the age of man and this will be the last tour before the next chapter in Moonsorrow.”

While Primordial singer Alan Averill says:
“With great pleasure we can announce a further chapter to the Heathen Crusade Legacy with our brothers from Moonsorrow. Some different cities and
different countries we have never brought the Crusaders to! We will be playing a set of songs from the wilderness in our catalogue. Rarely heard 5nd obscure songs
that rarely get performed. We also add the neo-folk musical cutural phenomenon of Rome to the bill as something unique and different. See you all again soon”

PRIMORDIAL Release Video For New Single “Exile Amongst the Ruins”

Irish Pagan Metal Gods PRIMORDIAL will release their new album, Exile Amongst The Ruins, March 30th through Metal Blade Records. Teaming with producer Ola Ersfjord, who worked on PRIMORDIAL‘s 2016 live album, Gods To The Godless, the record was tracked at Dublin’s Camelot Studios, located adjacent to their rehearsal room.

For a preview of Exile Amongst The Ruins, a video for the album’s title track (directed by Costin Chioreanu) can be viewed here:

Primordial comments: “This is a simple story. A soldier’s fate that has happened around the world many times and will continue to do so. It is set in Ireland about 100 years ago. Nothing more and nothing less. They are the Ghosts. We are the Ruins.”

For another preview of Exile Amongst The Ruins, the previous singles – “Stolen Years” and “To Hell or the Hangman” – can be streamed at: metalblade.com/primordial

Once again building upon their signature sound, the follow up to 2014′s Where Greater Men Have Fallen is a more raw, “old school sounding” record than its predecessor. Hitting home with what vocalist A.A. Nemtheanga describes as “a direct energy” and wielding an urgency that is undeniable, the Irish quintet once again effortlessly blend elements of tragedy and might like no one else. Likewise, the evolution in their sound continues to be organic and unforced, ensuring that Exile Amongst The Ruins is essential listening for both their long term faithful and those only now drawn into their world.

Exile Amongst The Ruins track listing:
1. Nail Their Tongues
2. To Hell or the Hangman
3. Where Lie the Gods
4. Exile Amongst the Ruins
5. Upon Our Spiritual Deathbed
6. Stolen Years
7. Sunken Lungs
8. Last Call

To coincide with the album release, the Irishmen have just announced two special and rather intimate album-release shows in Germany as well as their appearance on the “Heathen Crusade” European tour with Finnish Moonsorrow as co-headliners and German Der Weg Einer Freiheit as support act!

Irish Pagan Metal Gods PRIMORDIAL will release their new album, Exile Amongst The Ruins, March 30th through Metal Blade Records. Teaming with producer Ola Ersfjord, who worked on PRIMORDIAL‘s 2016 live album, Gods To The Godless, the record was tracked at Dublin’s Camelot Studios, located adjacent to their rehearsal room.

PRIMORDIAL has now released the 2nd single from the album. Watch below the video for “To Hell or the Hangman” (directed by Costin Chioreanu):

Comments Primordial singer A.A. Nemtheanga: “In 1493 Walter Lynch was hanged by his own father James Lynch, Mayor of Galwayon on the West coast of Ireland for the murder of a young Spanish noblemen who was visiting the family home. He had fallen in love with a young woman by the name of Agnes in the Lynch of household and in a fit of jealous rage one night Walter took the young Spaniard’s life. The story goes that an angry ‘lynch mob’ took to the streets and barred the way to the usual execution spot so James took his son Walter and hung him with his bare hands from the open window into the street…He was lynched from the hanging sill. ‘To Hell or the Hangman’ is this story through Walter’s eyes, a tale of unrequited love with a murderous end. Enough drama for you? A curious and strange song for single number two from the new album, dark romanticism! so get on the dancefloor…”

PRIMORDIAL To Release New Album “Exile Amongst The Ruins” On March 30th, “Stolen Years” Video Streaming

Primordial-ExileAmongstTheRuins

Irish pagan metal gods PRIMORDIAL announces their new album Exile Amongst The Ruins for a March 30th release through Metal Blade Records. The band teamed with producer Ola Ersfjord, who worked on their 2016 live album Gods to the Godless. The record was tracked at Dublin’s Camelot Studios, located adjacent to PRIMORDIAL‘s rehearsal room.

Visit metalblade.com/primordial to check out the video for the first single “Stolen Years.”

Once again building upon their signature sound, the follow up to 2014′s Where Greater Men Have Fallen is a more raw, “old school sounding” record than its predecessor. Hitting home with what vocalist A.A. Nemtheanga describes as “a direct energy” and wielding an urgency that is undeniable, the Irish quintet once again effortlessly blend elements of tragedy and might like no one else. Likewise, the evolution in their sound continues to be organic and unforced, ensuring that Exile Amongst The Ruins is essential listening for both their long term faithful and those only now drawn into their world.

Commenting about the album’s first single, ‘Stolen Years’, A.A. Nemtheanga added: “‘Stolen Years’ may seem like a strange choice as our lead single, and on the face of if I guess it is. It’s not a blood and thunder epic about tragedy and might and the ruin of nations, nor is it 9 minute epistle of doom. Have no fear, the album does contain those also but to open this time we chose something different. This album has some surprises and this is one of them, a short and painfully simple song which almost didn’t make the final cut if you can believe so. The video, cut by Costin Chioreanu, is about the journey involved in finally getting to that moment where you walk on stage, the song itself about that last night on earth that comes to us all, sometimes we never know when that might be, hold your loved ones tight tonight, this could be it…“

Comments PRIMORDIAL: “Twelve years after the original Heathen Crusade and in truth way too long we will go back on tour with Moonsorrow. A lot has changed in the world since then, more scars, more hangovers, deeper lines in our faces, but nothing changes our spiritual bond. Heathens to the bitter end and worse hangovers as we pace ’til death!“

Comments MOONSORROW: “With great pleasure we announce a European tour with our good friends Primordial! With these Irish fellows we had our first ever European tour in 2006. And it feels like just a few years back! Moonsorrow and Primordial always had a spiritual bond, something that makes a special line up for a tour. Don’t miss this rare chance to catch us on the same tour!“

Comments DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT: “As big fans of Primordial ourselves it’s with great pleasure to announce that we are supporting the Irish legends on this tour along with Moonsorrow. We appreciate the chance to be part of this great package and can’t wait to present our album “Finisterre” to new audiences all around Europe. Get your tickets now and see you in April!“
