RAM (Against) CD It has been nearly seven years since The Throne Within, an album defined by its spiritual and metaphysical themes. With Against, the band takes a more grounded approach, focusing on the experience of being pushed beyond reasonable limits and refusing to comply. The album captures that moment of resistance “that fire of defiance, which ultimately defines its title and message”, as Ram states it. The album artwork, created by the singer himself, reflects a conscious shift toward simplicity. In contrast to previous covers filled with symbolism, the focus is placed squarely on the band’s iconic ram-horned skull emblem, ensuring that the identity of the band remains unmistakable. Ultimately, Against stands as a statement of intent, a reaffirmation of identity and purpose. Or, as they put it themselves: “Fear the return of the HEAVY METAL TYRANNY!” Track Listing: Obsession Ghost Emperor One Vs.
