There are at least two bands called The Primals.

1) The Primals are a band comprised of Masayoshi Soken, Eikichi Iwai, GUNN, Michael-Christopher Koji Fox and Tetsuya Tachibana. The band covers music from Final Fantasy XIV in a metal style, the majority of which was composed by Soken. The band is named after the primals, the summoned monsters of Final Fantasy XIV.

2) The Primals is comprised of vocalist/guitarist John Henry (vocalist for Darkest Hour), bassist Chad Fjerstad (formerly of Dead To Fall), and drummer Andrew Black (formerly of The Explosion, and Title Tracks). The band’s fuzzy execution is equal slabs ripping guitar heaviness and infectious pop sensibility. Concocted by a seasoned group of thrashers with a historical backbone in the D.C. punk community. The disintegrated spirit of grunge rises from the ashes, revitalized in a new light.
