I Will Be Gone is a five-track EP from the German power metal band Primal Fear.

The release includes an exclusive new version of the band's achingly beautiful ballad "I Will Be Gone", re-recorded with former Nightwish singer Tarja Turunen.

Primal Fear are Germany's metal band of the hour, again. Right now, however, they want to show us something new, a different side to them - after releasing a string of heavy and hard-hitting singles from "Metal Commando", mastermind Mat Sinner and vocal force Ralf Scheepers have something extraordinary up their sleeves; a 5-track single, built around an exclusive new rendition of their achingly beautiful ballad 'I Will Be Gone', re-recorded with none other than Finnish metal diva extraordinaire, Tarja Turunen.

The song, fragile and touching, gets an altogether new and deeply melancholic vibe with Tarja's unbelievably emotional performance, showcasing a different facet of Primal Fear. Yet, it's not the only gift they deliver on this 5-track sensation - just take 'Vote Of No Confidence' for example, an all-new, previously unreleased beast of a song. Clocking in at over six minutes, this storming, furious anthem gives a brilliant glimpse of things to come.

Previously only available as bonus tracks on the limited "Metal Commando" digipack, three more tracks complete this release; enchanting guitar instrumental 'Rising Fear', massive mid-tempo smasher 'Leave Me Alone', and heavy metal monument 'Second To None', making 'I Will Be Gone' so much more than just another offshoot of a successful album.
