RAM was created back in '99 by Harry Granroth who wanted to form a real Heavy Metal band, he was sick of the missinterpretation of metal that ruled the scene back then and had a pile of material that he wanted to bring to life. He soon found Daniel Johansson, a young but experienced and very talented metal guitar player with a traditional metal guitarstyle. The two started working on some of Harry's earlier material and started writing new songs. After a long and tiresome search Harry then found Oscar Carlquist a powerful Heavy Metal vocalist with a mutual hatred for the current metal scene. Oscar quickly became involved in the songwriting process and started writing interesting lyrics. The skeleton of RAM was formed. Oscar brought in drummer Morgan Pettersson, one of the few drummers left who still played the 70/80's hard and heavy drumstyle. The they recruited the legendary Leif Larsson an icon in Gothenburg metal as he had previously been a member of "Frozen Eyes".
The 5 started to rehearse and write new songs and in 2003 they released their first E.P "Sudden Impact" through partly their own label "Black Path Metal Recordings". The EP truly created a sudden impact on the Underground metal scene, the first 1000 copies were sold out in a few mounths. RAM hit the road and played a number of festivals in Europe and went on tour as support for Sebastian Bach. The band was also recognised by German Rock Hard magazine as one of the best newcommers of the year.
RAM kept on playing live through out most of 05 and started working on their full-length debut album "Forced Entry", which was released in late 2005. Forced Entry brought the entire Old School Heavy Metal community to its knees. The album is a pure sonic attack of real and innovative heavy metal. Great reviews followed and the band grew even bigger. In December 05 RAM hit the road with Dark Tranquillty and in Jan 06 they did some scandinavian shows with Gamma Ray.
Playing live is what RAM does best and in 2006 the band have delivered a devastating metal crusade over Europe.
If you like REAL Heavy Metal then you are a RAM fan!
