RAMMING SPEED Preparing To Release New Seven-Inch Single
May 5, 2009Boston thrash/grind/crust road warriors RAMMING SPEED are putting the finishing touches on a new seven-inch single, to be unleashed just in time for their two-month summer "world tour." The record, entitled "Always Disgusted, Never Surprised", will be released by Punks Before Profits Records and will feature four brand new songs. Recorded at New Alliance (CONVERGE, COLISEUM, ANIMOSITY) with head engineer Ethan Dussault (mastering by Nick Zampiello),the record will have an initial pressing of 600, 100 of which will be a tour-only edition.
Two of the new tracks are available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.
RAMMING SPEED's second album, "Brainwreck", was released last year via Brutal Panda Records. The CD was recorded at New Alliance Studios (ISIS, CONVERGE, BONES BRIGADE) and mastered for maximum speed and optimal sound using a vinyl-specific album master at Prairie Cat Mastering.
According to RAMMING SPEED's official bio, the music and lyrics on "Brainwreck" are far more aggressive and poignant. Topics covered include American xenophobia, terrorist paranoia, and the metal scene's aversion to politics. Musically, the metal begins to grind just as hard as it thrashes, taking nods from genre defining bands like NAPALM DEATH and TERRORIZER. Read close and you'll still find party thrash anthems about a zombie killing lawyer and Thor’s hammer, but this is by no means a flash in the pan revival band. This is the mixture of two decades worth of metal, punk, and hardcore mangled into thirteen short, fast, and loud songs.
