Official press release:

Long-running, Dublin, Ireland-based Pagan metallers Primordial will release their tenth full-length, How It Ends, on September 29th via Metal Blade Records.

Primordial has nothing to prove. Having lasted thirty-two years and now returning with their devastating new studio offering, the Irish band has made it clear they are a primal force who consistently lay it all on the line. The follow-up to 2018's critically lauded Exile Amongst The Ruins, How It Ends sees them delivering more of their seminal blend of Celtic and black metal, with an extra added urgency, and staring down the apocalypse.

Vocalist A.A. Nemtheanga shared the following:

The title is a question - is this how it ends? How it all goes down: culture, language, history, society - humanity - who knows?. Regardless of who you are or were, you get one chance at all of this, and it's asking is this the end of your town, state, nation? Myths, traditions, relationships, and I suppose it asks the question, who reacts, who rebels - how does it end now for them?

Speaking on the new album Nemtheanga shared:

How It Ends is a very angry, defiant, visceral, and rebellious album, and as we worked it all began to take more shape and form itself. It may be the note we go out on but it will be a note of resistance, in musical terms. I think it's also more metal! And more epic!

In advance of the record's release, today the band unleashes first single and album closer, "Victory Has 1000 Fathers, Defeat Is An Orphan," and its accompanying video.
