"Where Greater Men Have Fallen" is
genuinely groundbreaking, recognizable, passionate, organic, and as you will hear PRIMORDIAL are still releasing some of their best music until
today. For those who are acquainted, this feels and sounds perfect as the successor to 2011’s "Redemption at the Puritan’s Hand", in how the band manages to somehow sound more heart-wrenching and epic with every record. There is an incredible warmth and purity to the album and PRIMORDIAL repeatedly sound deeper and more meaningful with each release they deliver. One of the greatest overlooked bands in underground metal and deserving of some worthy attention. There is simply no let up in the PRIMORDIAL ethos, as they continue to grow and develop. "Where Greater Men Have Fallen" delivers hymns of triumphant grandeur that are among the most motivating and spirited within the massive Celtic folk/black metal panorama that is PRIMORDIAL.
Singer A.A. Nemtheanga had this to say about "Where Greater Men Have Fallen"... "Some time at the end of 2013 we sat and began to plot a course for album number eight. We moved camp to a new rehearsal room and the ideas began to take shape. We felt it was time to try a new studio and engineer so we went to grouse lodge deep in the middle of Ireland and employed Gomez (Cathedral, Angelwitch, Grave Miasma) to come over and work on the new album." The band's idea was, of course, to keep the PRIMORDIAL trademarks but add a more live sound, broader and heavier. In 2014, we stand at the brink of releasing album number eight" and, according to Nemtheanga "we feel revitalized, the hunger never left and we are ready for another chapter to be written in our history!"
