NEWS: These past three weeks have put Primitai in a position where we were all shitting ourselves, not knowing what to do. However since Grays leaving the band we have managed to find two perfect guy's to replace his triumphant reign as guitarist and singer of the band.
The newbys names are that of Guy Jonathon Paish Miller on vocals (former Workin Lunch singer) and Srdjan Bilic on guitars (Pirates of metal guitarist).
We would like to say thank you to all the Primitillians who put their names forward for the place of either role. A special thanks to the guy's at The Rooms rehersal studios in North Camp and the Typheus guys for all their help!
As for gig's we've done our first show with the new line up last night and it went down really well. Cheers to the guys at the Unicorn for letting us play last night we hope you enjoyed our set as much as we did! So all future dates will be seen through!
As for our second album its been put on hold for a short while whilst we sort out a few technical issues aswell as writing some new material.
Anyways thats the latest and once again thank you to everyone whos helped us out!
PRIMITAI.
Buy the acclaimed album
'Through The Gates of Hell' on iTunes.
Primitai are a four piece band based in a town in England called Sandhurst, right in-between one of the biggest military bases and high security mental prisons.....although these facts give no influence to the music they produce.
After a long stint in and out of the recording studio they have recently finished the recording of their debut album 'Through the Gates of Hell', which will be released before the year is through.
Through the Gates Of Hell is set to stamp the shit out of the current 'radio friendly' rock trend and bring Primitai to the top of the throne.
Influenced by many of the greatest heavy metal bands ever, Primitai stand for no shit and good times, be prepared, this album delivers some of the most ball-breaking riffs and guitar lead that any mortal dare to create, so minions, welcome to hell.
Live Review by Tamlyn Head
Primitai rocked the night away giving the crowd a taste of pure rock ‘n roll. This 5-piece band gave a Guns ‘n Roses worthy performance. Halfway through their set the singer could no longer handle the constraints of the small stage and lept up the joining stairs and sang and played air guitar from up there. This improvisation won the crowd over, if the band itself hadn’t already done that.
Live Review by Surface Unsigned
Spitting fire, denim and leather at the fans Primitai remind us of the finer points of stadium rock. Subscribing to their brand of metal you’ll be seduced by their long hair and flying v’s, but this is more than just an act. Metal, as I’m constantly reminded, is not just a music genre, it’s a way of life. Howling guitar riffs that set the standard and metal anthems that would make the devil blush. Primitai are a strong band that carry a whole weight on stage, it was like being a download.
Live Review by ForeverBlueSkies
Musically very good, old skool metal with flying-V style guitars playing in the upright "my guitar is my penis" style. Seriously though, Primitai were good!

Album Reviews
Pure Rawk reviewed by Sexy Dave
Ah, a good old-fashioned metal blast out, now this I like!
It’s like Maiden meeting The Murderdolls and listening to some thrash. Which is a good idea, believe me!
Get Ready To Rock reviewed by Pete Feenstra
Primitai are a band who can seriously play, and on each of the nine tracks here they push both the songs and their own playing abilities to the limit

Primitai are a throwback to the past. But when the present is littered with whiny emo brats, that’s not such a bad thing. For anyone who appreciates good, solid rock music, ‘Through the Gates of Hell,’ is well worth a listen.

February Album of the month
Primitai – The next big thing to rock and rock hard, with a force equalled by few.
Insiders Guide reviewed by Darren
If this album was a steak it would be served blue because you can hear the rawness and see the blood dripping from it.
Subba-Culture reviewed by Paul Raven
If you’re fan of metal for the sake of the fretwork and the fun, Primitai will bring a devilish grin to your face.
The Beat Surrender reviewed by The Manager
To sum up, then, it’s an album of fast guitar solo’s, solid drumming, growling vocals and you know where the riffs are coming from. Primitai – Metal, pure and simple!
Rockmidgets.com reviewed by Phil May
They manage to rock your fxxking face off. Played with party-hard exuberance.
Kerrang reviewed by Mark Griffiths
It’s fairly clear what metallers Primitai are trying to do. Shredding solos, frenetic percussion, ball breaking riffs, no prisoners taken and metal up your ass.

‘Through the Gates Of Hell’ is one of the most brazenly tongue-in-cheek heavy metal albums released since Judas Priest were in their prime.
Peter J Brown aka toxic pete (www.toxicpete.co.uk)(Rhythm & Booze rating 10)
“Through The Gates Of Hell' by Primitai is an album that shows what rock is about - how it was meant to be and how it always should be - it's brutal, passionate and genuine, it's nerve-jangling yet melodic, it's monstrous and yes, I love it!!”
Rock3music.com by Ken Collinson 90% Rating
”Playing heavy metal that touches all the pleasure spots, Primitai are out to entertain you with a debut album that will do that in spades. Primitai play exhilarating air guitar metal with a grin and bags of cocksure attitude.”
War Cries Single Reviews
Peter J Brown aka toxic pete (www.toxicpete.co.uk)
''Primitai do their heavy rock with adrenalin fuelled, explosive potency. This is just heavy, heavy rock'n'roll - solid, unified, ass-kickin, stonkin', good ol' skull crackin' rock to head-bang along to!”
Sub City
''The guitar tone is loud and bombastic, the drums are hasty and the vocals are throaty and grainy. Heavy metal fans will love this.”
Get Ready to Rock reviewed by Joe Geesin
”This track intro to the band proves they really are worth checking out. Pretty extreme, the vocals growl heavily. Definitely one to watch out for!”
Tasty Fanzine reviewed by Sonia Waterfield
”The chorus "War Cries - forever haunting me" is dramatic and pushes this single through with force.''
Planet Thrash reviewed by Deb
”The roaring force of lyrical excellence combined with some of the best guitar and drum work to emerge of late gives a hard and heavy result - a superb representation of the metal genre.''

Rockmidgets.com reviewed by Phil May
''It works well, though, avoiding cheese by just a fraction in order to rock your f**king face off in the name of metal.''
Is this Music reviewed by Chris Walker
“I’m not even a big fan of the old school 80’s rock/heavy metal (think Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Kiss etc) or music of this genre but this is a great track from a proper talented band.”
