German power metal band Primal Fear have announced that guitarist Magnus Karlsson from Sweden, who has spent the majority of the last ten years mainly in the studio, will be touring with the band again after drummer Michael Ehré, bassist Alex Jansen, and guitarists Alex Beyrodt and Tom Naumann left the group recently. The band’s producer, Mat Sinner (also known as Matthias Lasch), and singer Ralf Scheepers have not yet revealed who will take over for the deceased members.
To answer some of your questions – Magnus Karlsson is still in the band! The only difference to a week ago is that he will join Primal Fear permanently on albums (like always) and from now on @ all live shows and tours again! Primal Fear
Can’t wait to hit the stage with Primal Fear again! It’s going to be an incredible ride! We’re going to create something truly special together, both live and in the studio, and I’m so grateful to share this journey with all you metalheads! Metal is forever

Dear fans and friends of Primal Fear, we unfortunately have to inform you today that Alex Beyrodt, Tom Naumann, Michael Ehré and Alex Jansen, who helped us on bass for the last two years, are no longer part of the band Primal Fear. Triggered by decisions within the band that we do not agree with, this step was anything but easy for us to take. We would like to make it clear that despite the differences of opinion, there was no argument or bad blood. We would like to thank you for the time we spent together, the numerous albums, the tours, shows and festivals that have taken us around the world together, and of course for the love of the fans. We wish Mat and Ralf all the best for the future!
