Twas only a matter of time before RAM churned out an album aptly titled Rod - one can’t help but prop him/herself rigidly upright and in position to head bang while ravenously throwing devil horns with the advent of this ten track tractor released last month under Metal Blade Records, of which the latter half encompasses a six part combustive, negative feedback servo-mechanism aggressively titled Ramrod the Destroyer.

While not quite as brutal or raw as Lightbringer or Forced Entry, it’s a marked step up from the slipshod Death - winner of the most pedestrian heavy metal album title known to man or machine - as the line-up remains the same as on RAM’s solid and tidy latent effort, 2015’s Svbversum.

At the end of the day when all’s scorched and blazed, RAM’s Rod – it’s fifth release in a dozen grinding years – proves its mettle as the term ramrod no longer only applies to the metal bar used for ramming down the charge of a muzzle loading rifle (such as a musket)…do as I do and stoke the fire!
