Oscar RAM Live at Tuesday 6th September, 2005 by HG RAM Live September 22 in Stockholm @ 'Pub Anchor' . New Album update. at Wednesday 27th July, 2005 by oscar We are hard at work with our first full length release, everything has been recorded and we have just begun the mixing process. Just as the E.P this album is being produced by Leif Larsson and RAM. The album was recorded at "Black Path" studios and will be mixed in Gothenburg based "Brewhouse" Studios. The new album will show a new dimension of RAM's music since it is faster, heavier, harder, more melodic, more progressive and simpler all at the same time. Where the E.P was "Uncompromising Heavy Metal" the new album displays a more personal sound. The production is a perfect blend between the classic early eighties European Heavy Metal sound and a more contemporary "High Tech" metal sound, still the Production captues the bands natrual sound and is far from overproduced. Tracklist: Shadowman Sudden Impact (rerecorded) The Beast Within Venom in my Veins Machine Invaders (rerecorded) Forced Entry Sea of Skulls Breaking Through Infuriator (rerecorded) Burning Scars The album is sceduled for a fall 2005 release. Through which channels the album will be released has not yet been decided, RAM are currently in negotiations with several possible partners.
