Back in Wolverhampton tonight we are expecting a masterclass of vocal verbosity with two of the best voices in metal on display.
First up was journeyman vocalist Ronnie Romero (9). Often cited as the Voice of Modern Rock, Romero has been hand picked by the likes of Blackmore and Schenker in the past, but more recently he’s been concentrating on his own material, especially his last album Backbone.
Songs like Chased By Shadows from the album Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters and title track from Backbone are gritty, heavy and melodic. Perfectly balanced for his soaring vocals, and of course he doesn't disappoint us with two Rainbow tracks (Stargazer, Kill The King) and a Deep Purple track (The Battle Rages On).
We always look forward to Ronnie passing through, and he hints that he will be back with a full headline show, something to look forward to!
By the time the Teutonic knights of power metal took to the stage, the room was buzzing.
Touring in support of their latest album Domination the band were on fire. Ralf Scheepers leads his cohort through a domineering set of pure power metal ferocity. His voice is unwavering, still powerful, you can see why he was once touted as a replacement for Rob Halford. The twin guitar assault is led by Magnus Karlsson and new addition Thalia Bellazecca, with long time compadre Mat Sinner on bass.
Not surprisingly the set was built around tracks from the new album, songs like Destroyer and The Hunter give you a hint of what this album is going to sound like. With five tracks from the new album played tonight there was plenty of room for fan favourites from all era’s, from the origins of the band Primal Fear to the present day. Deep cuts like Chainbreaker and Final Embrace lead us into the grand finale of the epic Running In The Dust. A real masterclass in pure European heavy metal delivered with flare and gusto.
All we need now is the Quest Fest team to book Primal Fear (10) for Quest Fest 2027!
