German power metal band Primal Fear issued five-song EP I Will Be Gone<\/em> on April 9th, 2021 through Nuclear Blast Records. <\/p>\n

The title track was a new rendition of the ballad \u2018I Will Be Gone\u2019 from the band\u2019s latest album Metal Commando<\/em>, re-recorded with former Nightwish singer Tarja Turunen.<\/p>\n

Bassist Mat Sinner commented: \u201cThere were three famous vocalists on our final wish list. That it was Tarja who got involved in this song is a matter of pure joy for all of us. Working together on the song and video was relaxed and professional \u2013 a great experience also because Tarja\u2019s and Ralf\u2019s [Scheepers] voices go together incredibly well. Now, we can expand the Metal Commando<\/em> saga with a unique chapter. We\u2019re all really proud of this single.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tarja Turunen added: \u201cI was very happy to receive the invitation to take part in Primal Fear\u2019s beautiful song \u2018I Will Be Gone\u2019. We started our careers nearly at the same time many years ago, and finally got a chance to work together. I love the song and personally it helped me to stay connected and rock again, even if at the studio this time. I really hope that people will like this collaboration and that it will bring them joy, especially during these difficult times we are living through at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The outing also featured the previously unreleased track \u2018Vote For No Confidence\u2019, plus three songs that were previously only available as bonus tracks on the limited edition Metal Commando<\/em> CD digipak; \u2018Rising Fear\u2019, \u2018Leave Me Alone\u2019 and \u2018Second To None\u2019.<\/p>\n
