London, England-based melodic heavy metal band Primitai have released an official lyric video for the track \u2018Stars Are My Guide\u2019 which can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Accompanying the release of the \u2018Stars Are My Guide\u2019 video is a special 2D retro computer game about navigating through space on a futuristic motorbike to the soundtrack of the new single. The game was developed by Primitai\u2019s bass player Scott Miller, who moonlights as a web programmer, and can be played here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As well as the epic \u201cjourney through space\u201d storyline of the song, the main inspiration for developing the game goes back to the bandmembers\u2019 90s childhood. Brothers Scott and singer Guy Miller, along with childhood friend and drummer Jonny Warren, spent hours on their SNES Super Nintendo console and a favourite was the punishingly difficult but awesome \u2018Battletoads In Battlemaniacs\u2019. Taking the 2D space-age motorcycle-racing level as a concept, Scott set about building a game using HTML, pure Javascript, CSS and the Greensock animation library.<\/p>\n

As the idea took off it quickly became not just a game, but a full on Primitai experience. \u201cI suddenly thought it\u2019d be fun if the rider shouted things every time you crashed and burned or did a crazy stunt,\u201d recalled Scott. \u201cSo I started looking through all the Primitai lyrics for the best catchphrases. Then it dawned on me to make every band member a playable character, each with their own quirks… it just kept snowballing!\u201d<\/p>\n

Primitai issue sixth full-length studio album Violence Of The Skies<\/em> on March 26th, 2021 through ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records.<\/p>\n

The outing features a number of guest contributions, including Paul Quinn (Saxon; guitar solo on \u2018Put To The Sword\u2019), Tom Draper (Carcass \/ Pounder \/ ex-Primitai; guitar solo on \u2018The Storm Kings\u2019), Mladen Pecovic (guitar solos on \u2018Warriors Of Time\u2019), and Vladimir Djedovic (The Tilt; synth arrangement and keyboard solos on \u2018Warriors Of Time\u2019).<\/p>\n

Violence Of The Skies<\/em> was recorded between August and November 2020, and mixed by Tom Keech at Cedarfield Studios in Guildford, Surrey, England. Mastering duties fell to Alan Douches at West West Side Music in New Windsor, New York.<\/p>\n
