Album Review – Prime Creation / Souls Of The Fallen (2026)

This talented Swedish brigade returns with their fourth studio album, once again delivering their own blend of modern, hard-driving and melodic Heavy Metal.

Arising from the ashes of Power Metal band Morifade in early 2015, Linköping, Sweden-based act Prime Creation is ready to unveil their fourth studio album, titled Souls of the Fallen, following up on their 2023 album Tell Freedom I Said Hello. Consisting of skilled and experienced musicians, those being Esa Englund ($ilverdollar, Hellshaker) on vocals, Robin Arnell (Los Sin Nombre, Morifade) and Rami Tainamo on the guitars, Henrik Weimedal (Devil’s Crown, Morifade) on bass, and Kim Arnell (Zornheym, Devil’s Crown, Morifade, Nephenzy Chaos Order) on drums, Prime Creation deliver their own blend of modern, hard-driving and melodic Heavy Metal in Souls Of The Fallen, being therefore recommended for admirers of the music by renowned acts from the Power Metal scene worldwide the likes of Nocturnal Rites, HammerFall, Brainstorm and Firewind, among several others.

Futuristic sounds ignite the band’s modern-day Power Metal voyage in Galactic Rebirth, led by the classic drums by Kim while Robin and Rami deliver classy, no shenanigans riffs nonstop, followed by Ghosts, presenting one hundred percent European Power Metal magic flowing from all instruments, being therefore highly recommended for fans of the genre. It looks like their riff-making machine is working at full power in the entire album, as in Blood Harvest they keep slashing our minds with their scorching guitars while Esa fires his trademark raspy vocals; and the pounding drums by Kim kick off the title-track Souls of the Fallen, accompanied by the low-tuned, metallic bass by Henrik in a hard hitting blend of Heavy and Power Metal.

Alliance is a solid power ballad that keeps the momentum going, although it could have been slightly shorter in duration. The vocals by Esa are once again impeccable, though, as well as their melodious riffs and solos, whereas the band offers more of their high-octane Power Metal magic in Lost Legacy, with its Iron Maiden-inspired rhythm offering us all a very good reason to raise our fists together with the band. Legends Never Die is another epic composition by the band, with their Swedish Melodic Metal roots arising from the underworld, being perfect for playing our good old “air guitar;” before Kim kicks off the closing tune Ashes of Trust while Robin, Rami and Henrik bring forward a massive stringed attack armed with their incendiary axes for our total delight.

After all is said and done, if Power Metal with a melodic Swedish twist is your cup of tea, Souls Of The Fallen will certainly satisfy your cravings, inspiring Prime Creation to keep delivering top-of-the-line heavy music for many years to come. Furthermore, if you want to know more about the band, their music, tour dates and plans for the future, you can find those talented heavy metallers from beautiful Sweden on Facebook and on Instagram, subscribe to their YouTube channel, stream their full discography on Spotify, and of course put your metallic hands on Souls Of The Fallen by purchasing it from the ROAR!

Having said all that, as true metalheads we can all rest assured that as long as Prime Creation keep releasing high quality albums like their new one, the souls of the fallen will remain alive inside our hearts.
