We are also very pleased to become labelmates with our good friends and fellow Swedish old school headbangers Portrait and In Solitude. Now with the Blade of metal behind our backs the conquest of demolition continues! HEAVY METAL TYRANNY!\u201d<br \/>\n<br \/>\nRAM was created back in &#8217;99 and released their first E.P \u201cSudden Impact\u201d in 2003. After playing numerous festivals and a support tour for Sebastian Bach they released their first longplayer \u201cForced Entry\u201d in late 2005 which brought the entire old school Heavy Metal community to its knees. RAM hit the road with Dark Tranquillity, didsome Scandinavian shows with Gamma Ray and played gigs and festivals all over Europe.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIn 2008 the band returned to the studio with producer Johan Reiv\u00e9n to record the album \u201cLightbringer\u201d which was released in 2009 via AFM Records. This time they really took the time to explore the true heavy metal sound. The recording of the album took 10 months of nothing but strife for pure Heavy Metal perfection. RAM also headed out on a headline European tour to promote the album.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIn 2011 RAM went back into the studio to record their third album \u201dDeath\u201d. This time they worked with producers Per St\u00e5lberg and Olle Bj\u00f6rk to create their best album to date by far. Live shows as support for Swedish extreme black metal band Watain followed as well as destroying some festivals.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMetal Blade and the World tremble in fear before the early 2012 release of the Metal behemoth that is \u201dDeath\u201d.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nRAM are back!
