He defended their work against negative voices in a statement shared on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>When asked which album in Primal Fear\u2019s discography he thinks is most misunderstood or underrated, Sinner took the opportunity to respond to the band\u2019s critics rather than focus on a specific release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know. For me, nothing is underrated for me,\u201d Sinner said. \u201cNow 98% love it, 2% are loud and evil, and think they must post or put their energy in some stupid posts on social media \u2014 which is kind of life at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bassist emphasized the importance of not letting negative voices dictate the band\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah. So you have to deal with it and not let the little 2% decide where you go,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo, in rude words, f*ck them, go on with your view and vision, and try to deliver the best. This is it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sinner\u2019s defiant stance comes at a particularly meaningful time for both the musician and the band. They continue to build on decades of heavy metal excellence.<\/p>\n<p>The statement carries additional weight given Sinner\u2019s recent return to performing after facing significant health challenges. Ultimate Metal reported that the band recently debuted a new lineup live in Germany. This marked Sinner\u2019s return to the stage after five years battling severe health issues. Vocalist Ralf Scheepers described the event as \u201crelease,\u201d \u201chealing,\u201d and \u201cmagic,\u201d calling Sinner\u2019s comeback \u201ca miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBelieve in miracles, fight to make it happen,\u201d Sinner said about his recovery and return to performing. This demonstrates the same resilience he shows when addressing critics.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond his role in Primal Fear, Sinner has established himself as a significant figure in the European metal scene through various projects. Markbass noted that he serves as a prolific producer and musical director of the respected European arena tour \u201cRock Meets Classic.\u201d He collaborates with prominent artists such as Ian Gillan and Alice Cooper. This extensive experience reflects Sinner\u2019s enduring influence in the metal scene beyond the band itself.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner\u2019s comments reflect the ongoing challenge many artists face with social media criticism. They highlight the importance of focusing on their core fanbase rather than allowing vocal minorities to influence creative decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Primal Fear bassist Mat Sinner recently addressed criticism directed at the band.
