Gothenburg, Sweden’s traditional heavy metal revivalists RAM reveal the full details of their imminent new studio album, ‘The Throne Within‘.
Set to arrive September 13th from Metal Blade Records, ‘The Throne Within‘ is the band’s sixth full-length offering. Always ones to deliver fiercely over-the-top music possessing abundant old-school elements throughout, RAM strike with songs that are anthemic odes to all things metal. Their latest album is sure to continue this tradition, once you hear and see today’s new video single, the Jani Korhonen directed “Blades Of Betrayal“, you will find yourself more than ready for RAM.
With this video presentation, we include the previously premiered lyric video for another of ‘The Throne Within‘ tracks, “Ravnfell“. The song features a guest vocal contribution from Alan Averill (Primordial) while the video was created by Martin Feldt. Included with these optical delights are the new album’s cover artwork and tracklist, along with details of an upcoming European Tour with RAM.
