"Another Hero" is the title of one of leading German heavy metal group Primal Fear's two preview tracks off their upcoming album, Code Red (to be released on September 1 via Atomic Fire). But is that all the world needs? No, fans worldwide also need "another tour" - and Primal Fear deliver!
That's why they are set to perform their new material alongside select classic tracks live on stage once again this autumn: Kicking off in the form of a first European leg with special guests The Unity starting next week, the band have also announced their return to Latin American shores. Comprising a total of 9 appearances, the trek will lead Primal Fear from Brazil's Maranhão Open Air (October 21) to Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia and Peru before concluding at Monterrey's renowned Mexico Metal Fest on November 10. Japanese metalheads don't have to worry either as they will play three shows in the land of the rising sun (Tokyo, Nagoya & Osaka) in early 2024. Dates below, more information can be found at here.
