RAM Announces New Album Against and Lineup Change

RAM has released a new single titled Abattoir, which is included on their upcoming album Against. Against represents the first full-length record to be released by the band in approximately seven years. The album is scheduled to be officially released on October 9 through the record label Metal Blade Records. Regarding the single, vocalist Oscar Carlquist stated that Abattoir is pure speed metal and that the song sounds like a mix of Exodus and Accept.

When Against arrives on October 9 via Metal Blade Records, it will be made available in several different editions. The release will be distributed on compact disc as well as digital formats. In addition to the CD and digital formats, Against will also be issued in various colored vinyl options.

In addition to the album announcement, the band confirmed a change regarding their bass player. Tobias Petterson has made the decision to leave RAM after playing bass guitar in the group for 17 years. Desekrator, who is known from the bands Voodus and Stormdeath, has taken over as the new bass guitarist for RAM. Tobias Petterson will make his final concert appearance with RAM at the album release concert scheduled to take place on October 9 in Gothenburg.
