PRIMORDIAL has nothing to prove. Having lasted thirty-two years and now returning with their devastating new studio offering, the Irish band has made it clear they are a primal force who consistently lay it all on the line. The follow-up to 2018’s critically lauded Exile Amongst The Ruins, How It Ends sees them delivering more of their seminal blend of Celtic and black metal, with an extra added urgency, and staring down the apocalypse.
“The title is a question - is this how it ends? How it all goes down: culture, language, history, society - humanity - who knows?,” says vocalist A. A. Nemtheanga. “Regardless of who you are or were, you get one chance at all of this, and it’s asking is this the end of your town, state, nation? Myths, traditions, relationships, and I suppose it asks the question, who reacts, who rebels - how does it end now for them?”
Working alongside founding members Pól MacAmlaigh (bass) and Ciáran MacUilliam (guitar) and longtime drummer Simon O’Laoghaire, the band started writing in earnest in the Fall of 2022, having lit a fire under themselves to work hastily and productively. PRIMORDIAL never plans out a record beforehand, letting them come together naturally, though Nemtheanga knew he wanted something with a bigger, more open sound, and something more aggressive, which is exactly what they achieved. “How It Ends is a very angry, defiant, visceral, and rebellious album, and as we worked it all began to take more shape and form itself. It may be the note we go out on but it will be a note of resistance, in musical terms. I think it’s also more metal! And more epic!”

LYRICS: Your flesh calls to the funeral pyre. As far as the eye can see. The horizon on fire. He who hunts alongside beasts may become their prey. The hunter becomes the hunted. As the darkest night follows the shortest day. Victory has 1000 fathers, Defeat is an orphan. Vultures wheel high in the sky. Calling to the carrion kind. Who are devoured by time. Make your pilgrimage to the ghosts of loss. Every martyr follows another. To the great tomb in the sky. We are devoured by time. Victory has 1000 fathers, Defeat is an orphan. Lyrics : A. Averill (Nemtheanga) Music : C. MacUilliam and Primordial
We need more of this liberated Irish Metal... Especially now.
Literally sounds like a Running Wild tune, and I mean that as a compliment
The Irish Bards deliver again. We stand in awe. Thank you.
Alan's vocals are getting better with the years. Literal chills. Great song horns up!

@@angrbodasvartur best live metal singer, man? Wow, you took it toooo far in my opinion. His stage presence is phenomenal, but to me he has never sounded outstanding live at regular basis. Saw them a few times though and will see at Ultima Tour as well. Don't get me wrong, love them, it's one of the most genuine metal bands ever, but there are many vocalists that perform on a better level (Devin Townsend, for instance, or Manuel Gagneux from Zeal & Ardor, or Sven from Aborted if we talk extreme metal). Last time I saw Alan I thought his vocal was degrading honestly, but I hope if was a bad night.

@TrulyStucker Well, it was a bit of a tongue-in-cheek response to @n8wolf575 But, he is one of my favourite live singers for something you pointed out... his stage presence IS phenomenal. That's what makes him one of the best, in my opinion. It's the package deal. Whether it be with Primordial, Dread Sovereign, or now Verminous Serpent, for me, it's the passion he brings to the stage. Perfection is highly overrated. I've seen plenty of shows where the musicians were top-notch and sounded as perfect as the album. But it was incredibly boring. I love Alan's energy and voice, even if it's not always perfect. In the end, music is subjective. And you know what they say... opinions are like @ssholes, everybody has one. hahahaha.
HAIL THE MIGHTY PRIMORDIAL .TRUE SONS OF THE MORRIGAN & TRUE SONS OF METAL!! HERE'S TO THE NEW ALBUM!!!SLAINTÉ
"Make your pilgrimage to the ghosts of loss" When he sings this line, it's so fu***ng epic!!!. I can't imagine being in a concert hearing this song with all his mighty power! 🤘
Masterpiece ...
Why, yes, KZread Recommendations, I would like to hear from Primordial again. Good stuff.
Been a while since I heard from these guys. Horns up, as always.
Primordial are the greatest to do it.
The opening reminds me of thin lizzy the emerald. Love this track 🤘please tour the US 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Pure magnificence in every aspect here. Total Primordial worship.
bloody awesome, your twilight of the gods!!! keep on marching!!!
This one is a grower, didn't know what to think at first but i love it now
Brilliant song! So powerful!
Love the trad vibe on this one. Vocals sound great too.
Great new song from one the best bands ever.
Fantastic!
E P I C !
we need a USA tour!
Love it. So excited for the new album. 🖤
Best band ever. Period.
starts off with what sounds a bit like a demo recording but then becomes a great song. Primordial never miss
New Sulphur Aeon, and now new Primordial. I feel complete.
Great song!
I can't wait for the whole album. The fire glows again.
In the 23 years of this Damn' century, i've seen them live 3 times and i'm willing to witness this album played on stage once more. All the reasons why would amount to a very long comment, so let me sum it up for you - Honesty, Integrity, Talent, Creativeness, Musical Inspiration, Soulful Dedication, Strength and Hope. A very Rare group. One of a kind.
Am I the only one who is reminded of Opeth's Black Rose Immortal at the beginning?
Great song as usual & a Kennedy quote.
up!
What a monumental track
Amazing!
Amazing production!
Toujours excellent, ça fait un moment que j'espère un nouvel album🤘🤘🤘
bloody brilliant lads 🤘
Finally we have the new Primordial album in sight. Love this new song and video.
ireland win1!!1!
Metal Blade never disappoints.
Fantastic as always and never disappoints
Very great Song 🤘🖤
Sounds great
September 29th can not come soon enough now
Eagerly waiting for the album .... Thanks for this awesome song!
These guys never miss, banger after banger
Как и всегда, прекрасно!
An unplugged version of this with banjo, fiddle, tin whistle and accordian would be beyond epic.!! 🔥

YES. There's quite a few Primordial songs I'd love to hear reworked as Trad songs. The melody is already there, and so's the spirit. Heavy metal or not, this is 100% a Celtic band.
🤘🔥🤘
Sounds very much Gary Moore/Thin Lizzy inspired on this one🤘

Not a fan of the album art. This song sounds good though.
Confirmed once again, Alans vocals still gives me goosebumps. And that was a good video. Looking forward to the record!
epic as always
Hail Primordial! Legendary band still putting out extremely high quality metal with evocative lyrics for decades now. Alan is an incredible vocalist and he doesn't deserve the smears against his character directed his way by certain sections of the community. Metal, artistically, is not a safe space - but even so, Primordial are not a fascist band!

@@Anttimation I've seen people alleging he's a fascist/WS going back 15 years based on like a single lyric, or that he's friends with the D666 guys. Now the dorks at metal-archives and elsewhere think he's a boomer/MAGA/chud because he's said some things on his podcast that don't meet their progressive standards.
Loveeee❤
Loved it. Been a while since I've listened to them.
YES we are back on track boys and girls!! This is fucking great!!
🤘🏻
a song dedicated to that line during the poker shootout in The Sopranos. Bravo, gentlemen!
Another belter of a song from Ireland's favorite sons. Consistently great music, they will one day run out of photo generic ruins but hopefully no time soon. Great music lads, pumped for the new album in September. Hail and Kill!
Amazing song, as always!
Awaiting the full long play in earnest!
Can't wait to get this! 🤘🤘
Great.

Well that was good!
Great song and lyrics. Looking forward to your concert in Zurich and the album-drop on the same day :)
Notification on.. Waiting impatiently 🔥🤘
I was getting worried I'd heard the last of Primordial-especially after I saw Alan landed an exec job at Metal Blade (congrats, Alan, BTW!) but, praise be,here it is. One of the few bands that only get better with time. Most bands have a shelf life of 3 albums and lose sight of their sound while trying to reinvent and stay fresh. Not Primordial. I know the new album's called, "How It Ends," but I hope this ain't it. Every body of work only makes me want more.

I worried to and also hope it is not last Primordial album. Btw wtf happened with Michael O'Floinn??? I hope that not something serious, he was with band around 20 years, writes many good stuff (Gallows Hymn, Bloodied Yet Unbowed, Where Greater Men Have Fallen as examples) he really good songwriter and i finds out that he is not member of Primordial

Strongly disagree with your “three albums” hypothesis. Too many great bands out there, with many more than only three great albums.

Where did you hear he landed an exec job at MB? I know he has worked in A&R there since 2010, but was not aware of any promotion or anything. Would be cool if he advanced in the company.
Sláinte! 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Kids named Victory and Defeat: 🥲
On Spotify the cover art for the album attached to this track has "How it Ends" written on it - I hope this isn't to be taken at face value to say that it will be the final Primordial album. 🙏
Such a great song, loving it. The Video fits perfectly to the music, thank you very much for this!
"Magnificent".
Simply Huge and Majestic \\m//

Amazing, awesome, powerful, catching, deep... Ah! It's cuz is fucking Primordial. Now I understand 🖤
💪
Primordial Abú!
what a great intro riff. They are back!
tbh wasnt the biggest fan of almost every album that came after to the nameless dead, this here combines their black metal roots with the more folkish and epic melodies and still hits that sweet melancholy note, this is a great song and if indeed this should be the last album of theirs they go out on a high note!
Victory also has 3,590 uncles.
Where was this filmed? Looks beautiful
👊👊
Yes lord
I hear some Running Wild too 🤘
Sopranos 🤘
For any Irish trad fans out there you might recognise opening riff as 'the banks of lough gowna'..C

Anybody knows where i can find the story of these three soldiers?
