Ralf Scheepers first solo album

FRONTIERS RECORDS NEWS - RALF SCHEEPERS:

Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the signing of Ralf Scheepers for the production of his first solo album!

Best known for being the singer of German Power Metal legends Primal Fear, Ralf cut his teeth with Tyran Pace first and Gamma Ray later, the band that he put up together with former Helloween guitar player Kai Hansen.

World renowned for his amazing range and high-pitched singing voice, sometimes reminiscent of Judas Priest's Rob Halford, Scheepers finally decided to work on a solo album. “It is definitely going to be a Metal album, but I will surely explore some different sounds and ways to exploit my voice”, says the German singer who is right now touring with Primal Fear throughout the world in support of their chart breaker album New Religion. “I will call a few friends and guests, which will make this record a very special one, but all details will be revealed at a later stage”.

The solo album will be recorded during the winter 2008 under the direction of Scheeper's band mate in Primal Fear Mat Sinner with additional input by Scheepers himself, Achim Koehler and Charlie Bauerfeind. The label looks for a release during the summer of next year.

On a related note Primal Fear's latest opus New Religion entered the charts in Japan on Pos. 37 and on the overall Top 200 charts on Pos. 116. Congratulations to the band for this amazing new achievement!

not sure if i see the point, since Primal Fear is based around him anyway. it will probably sound very similar to PF, with a bunch of guest stars.

that said, i'd still probably buy the thing.

It's on Frontiers, so I expext an AOR album!

Yeah, but he'll get more money. Gotta make a living. If it's a good CD, who cares?
