Primordial - 'Pilgrimage To The World's End' Single Premieres


In wake of their forthcoming studio release How It Ends, due out September 29 via Metal Blade Records, Primordial offer in listening the second advance single called "Pilgrimage To The World's End".




Vocalist A.A. Nemtheanga on the new single: "Pilgrimage To The World's End" started out being inspired by the travails of Irish people sent as convicts to Australia, but of course I folded that into a post 'Coffin Ships' narrative, poor people boarding boats to try and reach a new world to start over anew, how many went down the boats, endured sickness, death, never reached their destination. Then I began to really consider the plight of all people within that 19th century period who by famine, war, poverty tried to seek a new life. The oppressed and the downtrodden, so as Primordial always has a historical echo that should resonate with the modern day, we see the same thing, poor people clinging to boats trying to seek a new life, always at the behest of a small economic elite who profit from their ruin, this is the song of the war and famine torn refugee from all countries and nations..."

I'm seeing them in October, they will be supporting Paradise Lost. So I've been re-visiting their back catalog.

I regard "To The Nameless Dead" as one of the best albums of the noughties. It still holds up, gripping me from the start and not letting go till the end. Sadly, the next two releases I found to be boring slogs with occasional, sparse bright moments. Their (still) latest is a bit better, but still disappointing. Let's hope the new album will break that bad streak.

"In wake of their forthcoming studio release"
Isn't that contradictory?
