About the Release & Vibe

⚡ Pure uncompromising NWOTHM energy. Razor-sharp dual guitar leads, galloping rhythms, and commanding vocal delivery.

Swedish heavy metal stalwarts Ram return via Metal Blade Records with Against, a relentless masterclass in traditional riffcraft and analog drive. The Gothenburg outfit stays fiercely dedicated to authentic old-school sonics while pushing modern production clarity to the front. From soaring speed-driven anthems like "Ghost Emperor" and "Night Blade" to the crushing weight of the title track and "The Final Hour," the LP maintains relentless forward momentum throughout its 42-minute run.

💬 HUMAN PERSPECTIVE / МОИ МЫСЛИ

RU (Мои мысли): Шведы Ram выдали образцовый олдскульный хэви-метал без малейшей примеси коммерческого лоска. Вокал Оскара Карлквиста звучит яростно и чисто на верхах, а сдвоенные гитарные соло в «Ghost Emperor» и «Against» прописаны с образцовой плотностью. В 24-битном FLAC бочка и бас Desekrator не тонут в гитарной стене, сохраняя разборчивую атаку в каждом риффе.

EN (Review): A fierce, authentic traditional metal record that proves Ram remain among Europe's most consistent torchbearers of the genre. The twin-guitar assault of Granroth and Jonsson cuts cleanly through the mix, supported by a locked-in rhythm section that retains distinct analog warmth in Hi-Res 24-bit.
