Black Sun

Black Sun is the fourth studio release and first concept album by German power metal band Primal Fear, released 24th April 2002 on the Nuclear Blast label. The record is themed around a space exploration mission. A team of astronauts visit a new, never before seen planet, and their craft ends up blowing up in the process of reentry into the Earth's atmosphere. The person or thing they are speaking to in 'Armageddon' is often considered by fans to be the falcon on the covers of their albums.
