"Ok, So if you want to hear the finest heavy metal thats been produced in years then this album is for you !!!!!!
Holocaust are the Legendary NWOBHM band that have for some unknown reason been keep in the background.
To my mind John Mortimer is the most talented song writer around and has been for years.
Primal is the most powerful, grinding, pulsing metal I have come across, it simply blew me away !!
This band have the most hypnotic way of playing together, they really seem able to rip the soul right outta you, once you play this album, you will be screaming for more from them.
It was a long wait because of delays, but DEFINATLY worth the waitwait. Here's hoping their next album is real soon as Im screaming for more of them.!!!!
They have changed direction with this alum a bit, very Slayer like, but with a tinge here and there of their old sound, but this is HOLOCAUST as you have never heard them.
You are in for a HUGE SURPRISE !!!!!!
BUY IT !! PLAY IT !! LOVE IT !!"
One of the best out of NWOBHM

"Holocaust have been around in one form or another for quite some time. Although other NWOBHM have gone on to more lucrative careers (the good: Maiden, the wretched: Def Leppard), Holocaust is about the only band that has stayed 100% true to metal. Primal continues the direction of The Courage To Be, but it adds some of the crushing heaviness of the debut album The Nightcomers. Death or Glory would fit perfectly on Primal. Primal does not sound like the NWOBHM, and that is a good thing, the influence is there sure, but this is a modern heavy record. Cleary one of the best and heaviest album of 2003. Cheers."
Instant Metal Classic!
