# Ralf Scheepers

Ralf Scheepers, né le 5 février 1965 à Esslingen am Neckar (Allemagne), est un chanteur allemand.
Il est le chanteur du groupe de heavy metal Primal Fear.

## Biographie

Ralf Scheepers a une voix de ténor plutôt haute et lance parfois un cri qui rappelle celui de Rob Halford de Judas Priest, bien que ce soit son ton de baryton-basse qui lui donne une portée de près de quatre octaves dans le registre modal (en). Il a également chanté avec Gamma Ray, Tyran' Pace, Scanner, Therion, Ayreon et Shadow Gallery, et a travaillé avec Tom Galley sur l'album Blind Faith de Phenomena (en). Il enseigne actuellement tout ce qui concerne le chant, la musique, le studio et les techniques d'enregistrement et de traitement chez RS Vocal Works à Baltmannsweiler, en Allemagne.
