METAL BLADE
There’s something about Primordial’s world-weary anger, dirt and sorrow that only seems to get more profound and intense with the advent of middle age. That was all here in spades on their ominously titled 10th album, but it shared space with some of their most gorgeous, upbeat melodies and good old-fashioned heavy
metal heroics. Viewing contemporary traumas through the prism of historical tragedy has been Primordial’s stock in trade since the mid-90s, but
How It Ends
proved we need them more than ever.
