RAM – “Death” (Metal Blade)
HEAVY METAL TYRANNY!!! For some people enough isn’t enough: despite living in Gothenburg, Harry Granroth wanted to form a ‘real’ heavy metal band. And so was born RAM: pioneers of the New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal! Essentially playing ‘true’ metal going back to the golden era of heavy metal in the early 80s, RAM draw their inspiration from the likes of Mercyful Fate, MSG, Scorpions as well as Maiden and Priest. High end vocals mix in with raw guitar and pounding drums that switching effortlessly from melody to mayhem on songs like ‘…Comes From The Mouth Beyond’, ‘Flame Of The Tyrants’ and ‘Under The Scythe’. With little regard for modernity, keyboards, or image, this is traditional HM the way it used to be – RAM are back, and necks will be broken!!!!
