The new RAM-ZET album is nothing less than an awesome piece of exceptionally well articulated extreme metal art!
The band’s two previous albums are also impressively good. But they don’t beat “Intra”, which shows that RAM-ZET has gone through a sort of transformation process and grown to be an unbeatable factor in todays metal scene.
Call me crazy if you like for being carried away by my use of religious analogy here; in hindsight “Pure Therapy” (2000) and “Escape” (2002) both stand as very persuasive prophets announcing the arrival of the messiah - the metal Messiah Zet!
RAM-ZET's newest aural attack will save me from a lot of boredom, because I will definitely spend more time listening to "Intra" than a lot of predictible and average metal in weeks from now on.
“Intra” is an inexhaustible supply of overwhelmingly energy intense brutal metal offering a lot of twist and turns, abrupt transitions, superb vocal delivery from Zet himself and his female partner in the vocal warefare, Sfinx and innovative song structures and instrumental implementation like the electric violin amongst other creative instrumental stunts. And a lot more!
You just have to check it out for yourself to fully understand what I mean. “Intra” is a completely brilliant album and a showcase of intelligent and excellently performed and musically choreographed newschool, fresh and modern progressive extreme metalism.
RAM-ZET is aband with much of the same artistic approach, creative curiosity and expression as two other great Norwegian bands, Age of Silence and Solefald.
Three different bands, yes, I know. But they all have what it takes to put fresh, juicy and hot musical goodies on the table, and their willingness and ability to bland styles and mix it all together as they do is nothing less than impressively amazing.
This is The New Norwegian Wave Of Extreme Progressive Metal and I find no good reason to choose my word carefully regarding this album; “Intra” is a completely brilliant expressed vision of progbrutalenergetic metal art from metal messiah genius Zet and his five extremely clever and devoted disciples!
Long live New Norwegian Wave Of Extreme Progressive Metal! Don't miss it - get your ass to your dealer and steal this album if you have to if you can't afford it!
There's a lot of metal album's you don't need, but this one is a must-have!
