Just listen, a band of six musicians, formed by the multi-instrumentalist Zet, the female vocals, the violins, the choirs, the male death vocals and ultra speed plus the psychodelic cover a la Franz Kafka, the touring with Theater Of Tragedy, Borknagar, Finntroll and Grammy nomination for the debut album - all the attributes of the Norwegian intrusion are in place!

But don’t hurry to pass it by, Ram-Zet not only have all the signs of their environment, they also are really talented as the arrangers. Their new album is much deeper then usual Scandinavian sympho-death metal. They made a titanic effort to get into the inner world, the unconsciousness, the complexes and the archetypes of the mankind.


The result is recorded, co-produced and mixed (if interesting) by Daniel Bergstrand, who did the same work for In Flames, Soilwork and Strapping Young Lad, released and, being played, impresses a lot. No use of any descriptions here; it needs to be heard. The only thing I should mention is the fantastic, brilliant collaboration of vocalists Sfinx and Zet – the beauty and the beast of metal. Very powerful! Oh, but just one little thing… maybe, they would sound much better if there were no Nightwish and Theatre Of Tragedy.

I’d like to see them live, if Sfinx is more alive then Liv Kristine and Tarja Turunen, when doing the show, it’ll be really mind-blowing. Let`s see!
