Studio 2

An update from the band states: "Just right before we're going to start the recordings on Sunday (July 10th) at the House Of Music studios, we've decided to give our new album a title! We've survived earthquakes and tornados. This is the story of all who tried to destroy us, are still trying or gave up. This is a statement and our new album title - UNBREAKABLE!

Watch out for the first video report from the studio by the mighty Bomber & Visions Of Fear next week, when Randy will be recording his drum tracks for new songs like 'Give 'Em Hell', 'And There Was Silence', 'Where Angels Die', 'Born Again', 'Strike' and many more. The album will be produced by Mat Sinner and engineered by Achim Koehler. All songs were written by Primal Fear.

We've added another gig to our summer schedule - we're going to play a special show at the Metal Hammer Awards in Berlin during the Popkomm on September 9th, Kesselhaus - watch out for more exciting news coming soon!"

Frontman Ralf Scheepers has checked in with the following update via Facebook:

"Right on my friends. It was the last day of our drum recordings in the studio today. Randy (Black) did a fantastic job, drumming 12 tracks in four days (one day only soundcheck)! So please celebrate this with us and enjoy this clip I put together for you!"

Unbreakable combines the skills of the strongest Primal Fear lineup ever, with a well-balanced “back to the roots” vibe and an ambitious learning process during their longest tour so far. Classic and ultra-fresh Primal Fear riff-rockers like 'Strike', 'Give Em Hell' or the high speed track 'And There Was Silence' will hit the bulls-eye, like the rhythm paced metal anthem, first single and new video clip, 'Bad Guys Wear Black'. Less experiments, more rock! But there will be a nine-minute epic journey with a lot prog approach named 'Where Angels Die', a classic wonderful ballad 'Born Again' and the melodic power bomb 'Metal Nation'.

Singer Ralf Scheepers adds: “The plan was to record an album for the fans with rough metal riffs, screaming vocals and good melodies... and finally it became a monster – a tough 'bang-your-head' metal album called Unbreakable.”

Magnus Karlsson and Alex Beyrodt are worldwide respected guitarists – together they are unbeatable! Ralf Scheepers vocal performance shines bright on a new level on all new songs. And what can go wrong if you’re backed by one of the best rhythm sections in metal with Randy Black and Mat Sinner? Plus backing vocals by the “Fantastic Four”: Ralf Scheepers, Mat Sinner, Erik Martensson and Oliver Hartmann. You can hear the result on Primal Fears new statement called Unbreakable.

Unbreakable will be anticipated by the digital only release of the single “Bad Guys Wear Black” which will be available for download and streaming on December 5th 2011. The single will also include “Metal Nation” in an exclusive single mix.
 
I have never been disappointed by Primal Fear's studio work. They continue to produce good stuff and it's clear they love what they do.
 
Seventh Seal is the 'only' snoozer in their catalog IMO. All the others are right good power metal! m/

So, who replaced Henny Wolter on guitar?

Seventh Seal is another killer disc for me, far to be a snoozer.

As for your other question, from the press release:
