Primal Fear Shares "Cancer Culture" Lyric Video

As the band's critically lauded studio album is about to be unleashed upon the world tomorrow -- Friday, September 1, 2023 -- via Atomic Fire, followed by part 1 of a supporting European tour comprising 8 German/Swiss shows, they have prepared a final appetizer before their listeners can finally dive into the new offering. Accompanied by a captivating lyric video created by Ingo Spörl (Hard Media,) Primal Fear presents "Cancel Culture," a track about a special topic that has been heavily discussed in recent years.
Producer/bassist Mat Sinner says: "There are countries where you just disappear if you speak your mind. These are intolerable conditions. But I'm not backing down. I've always been a rebel; I don't want to conform. And I don't have to play in certain countries either. It's that simple."
