Background information about 'The Throne Within'

Ram unleashes pure Swedish heavy metal fury with "The Throne Within", a crushing testament to the power of traditional metal done right. From the opening assault of "The Shadowwork" to the epic finale "Ravnfell", this Stockholm quartet delivers nine tracks of uncompromising metallic might that channels the spirit of the NWOBHM while maintaining their own distinctive Nordic edge. The album showcases Ram's ability to craft memorable hooks without sacrificing an ounce of heaviness, with Oscar Carlquist's commanding vocals soaring over crushing riffs and thunderous rhythms.

What sets "The Throne Within" apart is its perfect balance between accessibility and brutality. Tracks like "Violence (Is Golden)" and "Blades Of Betrayal" demonstrate the band's knack for writing anthemic choruses that stick in your head for days, while "Spirit Reaper" and "No Refuge" showcase their darker, more atmospheric side. The production captures every crushing detail while maintaining the raw energy that makes Ram such a formidable live act. This is heavy metal stripped down to its essential elements and executed with surgical precision.
