Vocalist Nemtheanga of the Irish dark metal masters PRIMORDIAL has posted the following message on the group's official web site:
"So the day is nearly upon us... [the new PRIMORDIAL album] 'To The Nameless Dead' will be out within two weeks.
"For many people out there it seems like we have only existed from 'The Gathering Wilderness' on. I guess that was partially to be expected once we made the step up onto a bigger label. All this media attention and increased scrutiny when we aren't exactly 21 years old and perhaps able to capitalise on it properly leaves me with mixed feelings. It is, of course, gratifying, whether it translates into sales remains to be seen. Somehow we have come in from the fringes of the scene to occupy for a moment at least centre stage. It's a strange and somehow surreal feeling and I'm sure it will get stranger. Hopefully we won't have to revoke our underdog status just yet. We will do what we can when it comes to touring and festivals in 2008 but right now the deluge of offers is far too great to be able to do all of them.
"To be young free and reckless
"We should be able to announce something soon, however.
"One important thing that you all should note is that there are some type errors in the booklet of the album. P.MacAmhlaigh should be credited in the songwriting of 'Heathen Tribes'. His name was left off for some inexplicable reason. Hopefully it will be addressed in the repress .
"So I will continue to add various things the press has been saying about us over the coming weeks and we will continue to view it with one eyebrow raised .
"Keep the faith my friends!
"No compromise, not then, not now, not ever ."
