BBMA Band Of The Week #15: Primal Age



Primal Age is OG Vegan Straight Edge 90’s Metalcore from France.
The band was founded in 1995 (released their first Album in '97), became Absone in 1999,
just to became Primal Age again in 2006 and remains active under that name until today.
...still vegan, still straight edge, still shredding that 90’s Metal(core) sound.
One of my first releases (3 years ago), was the (now sold out) compilation/best of tape
"My Legacy / Eternal Struggle - The Best Of 17 Years XVX 90's Metalcore" which held
some of their (to my mind) best tracks from the very begining to where they where then...
And now, in 2017 I just had the honor to work with them again and do the vinyl version
of their most recent EP "A Silent Wound" (which you can now - only for one week -
get on discount from the BBMA webstore). Check them out!
FFO: Arkangel, Earth Crisis, Heaven Shall Burn, …

Who are you, what are you doing in the band?
 
I'm xDimitrix, I play bass, do some backing vocals and also write the lyrics for PxA. 

How has the band evolved since the beginning?

I think we've succeeded in keeping the identity of our sound without doing the same
records always and always again. We started 22 years ago with the energy and fury of a
young edge metal band, and it's still the same passion and hapiness to have the opportunity
to keep this adventure alive. We feel proud to stay after all these years. 

What have you accomplished so far and what are your goals for the future?

 PxA has 2 full albums, 1 split album with the japanese band Cherish and the argentinian guys
of xMostomaltax. 2 EP's, 12 crossed countrys with a mexican tour, one in Japan and one in Brasil, more than 300 shows. We're still hungry and want to see more, meeting great people with
different cultures and playing the music we deeply feel. Our favorite topics are the same since
the beginning: the defense of Earth and all the living creatures you find on it. 

Any upcoming shows/releases/anything else you wanna tell us about?
 
Our latest EP called "A Silent Wound" is just out, so we'll keep our time before doing another
(as we've always done). We plan shows to defend it, maybe far from home to keep that at memory
for our old days. Your label BBMA offers us a vinyl version and the indonesian label
Diorama Records another one on tape (out soon).

How do you feel about bbma as a label?

We've the chance of making a vinyl version because of you, so... 
Thank you Tim for your assistance and the support in this project.
We wish you all the success in what you do.

In what do we suck most/what could we do better in the future?

Experience is the key, we all do some mistakes, the most important thing is to learn from
these shity things to get better. Less dispersal to keep your energy focused on one goal at the time. Work according to your ways and means, passion will make the rest.


Ps: For this Week, all products Primal Age related are on Sale from the BBMA Webstore.

Primal Age / Absone

Primal Age were founded in 1997 and played Vegan Straight Edge Metalcore,
pretty much Death/Black Metal influenced to that time.
They first released two songs on the The Nightmare Remains... Comp. 1998
(if there was a demo before that, I dont know of it - please enlighten me if you do!)
And then a song on the Picardie Rock Comp. 1999
(which I unfortunately don't have, it somehow seems to be impossible to find...)
Shortly after that their CD The Light To Purify dropped on Eye Witness Records.

During that time three (and later four) of the five members started the side project Absone
(which shortly after became their main project).
So, Primal Age was laid to rest (before it was revived in 2006)
Absone sounded more like the typical Vegan Straight Edge 90's Metalcore band
and on their Lp they developed their sound even more,
sounding like Morning Again with some Black/Death Metal like parts.

The revival of Primal Age let me first think of a sold out modern metalcore band,
but nothing like this is the case!
Sure, their style is more modern orientated, but they still remained faithfull!
(Still holding on to the edge and all that as well!)
Really worth to be checked out!

(after the Absone stuff of course, cause that is really sick!)
