The band recently stated: "We are very pleased and proud to sign with a metal label that has done so much for heavy metal and has such an amazing legacy. We are also very pleased to become labelmates with our good friends and fellow Swedish old school headbangers PORTRAIT and IN SOLITUDE. Now with the blade of metal behind our backs the conquest of demolition continues! HEAVY METAL TYRANNY!"

Ram was created back in '99 and released their first EP, Sudden Impact, in 2003. After playing numerous festivals and a support tour for SEBASTIAN BACH they released their first longplayer, Forced Entry, in late 2005 which brought the entire old school heavy metal community to its knees. RAM hit the road with DARK TRANQUILLITY, did some Scandinavian shows with GAMMA RAY and played gigs and festivals all over Europe.

In 2008 the band returned to the studio with producer Johan Reivén to record the album Lightbringer, which was released in 2009 via AFM Records. This time they really took the time to explore the true heavy metal sound. The recording of the album took 10 months of nothing but strife for pure heavy metal perfection. Ram also headed out on a headline European tour to promote the album.

In 2011 Ram went back into the studio to record their third album, Death. This time they worked with producers Per Stålberg and Olle Björk to create their best album to date by far. Live shows as support for Swedish extreme black metal band WATAIN followed as well as destroying some festivals.

Ram is:

Oscar Carlquist - Vocals

Morgan Pettersson - Drums
