“A healthy turn out sees a rammed Garage playing host to three diverse metal acts blowing away any New Year’s hangovers that might still remain.  In my book Primitai have been wrongly dubbed by many as simply being a thrash band. Whereas what they actually play is the true meaning of the term “heavy metal”, taking their cues straight from the textbooks of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, and the simple fact is people would be going mad over this band if they weren’t British. World domination will be theirs once the current metal gods retire.”

“Recently named as one of the bands to watch for 2011 by Classic Rock magazine. Overall a good set from Primitai – a band well worth checking out”

Yiannis (John) Stefanis, Get Ready To Rock

“The band had to cope with a less than satisfactory sound but what they lacked there they made up in energy and passion, leading many people, myself included, to say after the show that this band might just be the best known secret in the UK scene at the moment. Let’s hope that we will see more of them in the near future!”

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!!”

“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.”
