Primus, an American rock band, is the subject of Stern’s latest pinball.
Released in a limited edition of only 100 band-signed units, the game comes equipped with 13 of the band’s classic tracks and original artwork.
The graphics were created by renowned illustrator Zombie Yeti and long-time Primus art curator Zoltron, who spent more than 100 hours together collaborating on the direction and illustration of the game.
In a statement, the band said a classic pinball playfield was chosen to allow “the visual menagerie to take hold of the player.” Each unit is hand-signed by all three band members and includes a metallic “authenticity” placard individually embossed. All units are outfitted with an upgraded Kenwood sound system and feature 13 popular tracks.
"Being a guy that has made many records over the past few decades, published a novel, directed videos and a feature film, as well as having collaborated with heroes like Tom Waits, Geddy Lee, Stewart Copeland, Bernie Worrell, Trey Anastasio and others, it wasn’t till this moment, being immortalised in a pinball machine, did I really feel like I’ve made the big time," said the band’s lead vocalist and bassist Les Claypool.
