Primal Roots
Music, madness and unicorns.
Primal Roots is a multinational metal band based in Athens, Greece.
Formed in 2019, they began creating music following a classic heavy metal style with hints of groove, melodic, doom, nu and thrash, calling their style 'metal outside the box'.
They released their first single 'Black' in 2020 and followed up with their debut album 'Stand Up' which hit the shelves and the streaming services in July 2022.
With a couple of line-up changes, Primal Roots’ sound is evolving into a unique and exciting type of metal which is beginning to show in their most recent releases; a cover of the 90s Coolio hit ‘Gangsta's Paradise’ in 2023 and their most recent single, ‘Made in Hell’, which hit the airwaves in January 2025.
Primal Roots:
Rachel Cassar (UK) on Vocals
Alejandro Lobato (ESP) on Guitar
Amira Debaieb (TUN) on Bass
Argiris Kiriakos (GR) on Drums

In their own words:
“We met via a mutual passion for music, skulls and unicorns, started writing songs and the band was born.
Our style reflects different genres of metal which have merged into our own unique style and sound.
Primal Roots is more than just music, it’s an idea.
It’s the belief that music can change..... Change moods and minds, break the mould, set wheels in motion; music can inspire, motivate and teach, travel far and wide, stop you in your tracks or set you in motion.
It’s not just about cool riffs and catchy lyrics, (although that’s awesome and we love it too!) it’s a unification, a party, even an uprising!
We ourselves have all come from different parts of our world. We had very different beginnings but our musical path, perhaps even fate and a belief in all things mythical brought us together.
We love the Earth, our environment, animals and things that grow. We believe in humanity, the strength of positive energy and unicorns.
We aren’t going to stand on stage and preach, that’s somewhere in our music. We’re out to rock, play awesome music, party and have a damn good time!"
