The Ram - Forced Entry Vinyl Record

Forced Entry finds Swedish heavy metal warriors Ram sharpening their steel with relentless riffs, towering vocals, and a classic spirit that channels the genre’s most heroic traditions. Originally released in 2017, the album stands as one of the band’s most focused and thunderous statements.

Fronted by the commanding voice of Oscar Carlquist, Ram have built their reputation on revitalizing traditional heavy metal with conviction rather than nostalgia. Their sound draws clear inspiration from the power and precision of classic European metal while delivering a modern punch - galloping rhythms, razor-edged guitars, and an unwavering sense of dramatic intensity.

Tracks like Flame Of The Tyrants charge forward with blazing twin guitar leads and battle-ready energy, while the title track Forced Entry unleashes a barrage of driving riffs and soaring vocals. On On Wings Of No Return, the band leans into epic melody and thunderous pacing, showcasing the songwriting strength that has made Ram a favorite among traditional metal devotees.

Throughout the album, the band balances ferocity with melody, crafting songs that feel equally suited for festival stages and late-night vinyl sessions. The musicianship is tight, confident, and proudly rooted in heavy metal’s timeless core.

This 2024 High Roller Records reissue finally brings Forced Entry to vinyl. Limited to 300 copies, it arrives in a 425gsm heavy cardboard cover and includes a four-page insert - a long-awaited collector’s edition for fans who believe heavy metal belongs on wax.
