​Ram-Page
The Grave Of Seven Billion
Grimm Distribution

Picture
Fourth album in discography of Moscow based metalllers is like homage for Deicide for a few reasons. The sound is very close to Scars Of The Crucifix and guitar wise, their death metal just unleashes the hell and awakes some demons like when you listen to albums of Americans. Ram-Page put vocals similar to Glen Benton`s growls and demonic screams but I do not think it`s done on purpose. I even do not think that any of this is done to sound just like Deicide, it just happens that both bands are kind of keen to the way they express their death metal. On the other hand, Ram-Page varies from Deicide very much. Their music strikes with old school thrash metal riffs much more. It reminds me Possessed in song called Betrayer but it`s my very free interpretation of the song. Eight track was totally surprise for me when some jazzy –progressive guitars just came out of the blue. Other than that, this album is riffs-stronger that overall impression of songs is.
The Russians are very good with their instruments, they go technical from time to time if they want to, but at the same time the song structures are easy to follow, thanks to clear and decent production of the album.
 
Deicide influences pops up throughout the album but I do not find it good or bad, it`s just what happens in between, when they play their own stuff, though. It`s hard to describe their music by one word so I give you some more. What about brutal death metal, blackened thrash metal?  Sounds good to me...
