The band recently issued the following update regarding their forthcoming album: "Compared to Forced Entry the Lightbringer album is a step in many directions for us. Forced Entry was a very straight forward (in RAM terms) heavy metal album, Lightbringer is more concept orientated and it displays an array of different themes that are noticeable in song writing, lyrics and throughout the production. Including a horror mantra that features Mexican poet Adelaida Caballero performing one of her profound, surrealistic and magick poems, this album offers hard and heavy but quite unorthodox heavy metal songs that features many twists and different parts, along with melancholic and very melodic pieces. Something as unusual as a metal horror opera, 'The Elixir' features a macabre tale in vein of Edgar Allan Poe's work. Our most epic track to date and also the longest Ram song ever recorded is a song about the Battle at Suomussalmi in 1939 during the Finnish winter war."
