another top-notch full-length from the talented Swedes effectively proves why these guys are ranked so high in nowadays European heavy metal scene - they are able to build an anthem of each and every song, eliminating even a thought about filler material, and regardless that it is pure traditional metal we know so well this music is nothing but outstanding - massive, tightly forged riffs come to the fore, rhythmic force is also emphasized, while Oscar Carlquist delivers confident, combative vocals; certain malicious shades of classic Sanctuary are especially fascinating and worth respecting, as far from many bands manage to make that nerve-entangling drama work in a proper way, while music of RAM gets even more depth now; German gatefold sleeve black 180g vinyl edition with a pro-printed lyric insert and additional double-sided poster is limited to 500 units
