The origins of Primordial go back to 1987 when a very young Ciaran MacUilliam and Paul MacAmhlaigh got together to learn their instruments. Together they continued under various different names and then a chance advertisement in Dublin's one and only metal shop led to A. A. Nemtheanga joining the band in late summer 1991 (they changed the name to Primordial in late 1992). Their one and only ever recorded, now legendary Demo "Dark Romanticism" from mid 1993 sold over 1200 copies back in the day and gave the band a well respected underground platform from which they signed to Cacophonous Records from the UK! Their first album "Imrama" was released in September 1995. With no interviews, little advertising and no promo campaign, "Imrama" sold really well and gave the band a solid international footing. Many years and many releases ( split 10" with Sweden's Katatonia in 1997; "Journeys End" in 1998 and "The Burning Season" MCD/10 in 1999) later, Primordial released their most important album so far: "Spirit The Earth Aflame" (2000). The band's highlight on Hammerheart Records brought them finally on their first real European tour with Immortal as well as some European festivals and mini tours. Primordial had now definitely turned the corner. The reviews were ecstatic and the sales were good. After signing a worldwide record deal with Metal Blade, Primordial recorded "The Gathering Wilderness" with famed engineer Billy Anderson in October 2004. Still dark as ever, still unique as ever, still Irish as ever, the years haven't dulled Primordial, and this album merely spells out a new chapter in the bands history. Some bands play music for the sake of a "nice" tune, a "nice" melody or purely for the sake of playing. Some other bands play because it is in their blood, their culture, their history and folklore and life would not be the same without it...Primordial is one of these bands!
