BATTERING RAM – SECOND TO NONE (Review by Varg The Mighty )

Today’s review is of Swedish Hard Rock band Battering Ram’s upcoming new album, out on July 15^th.

This release offers some classic and energetic Hard Rock that sometimes leaps into Heavy Metal territory despite mostly remaining in softer and catchy regions. While it mainly sounds old-school, it also has many modern elements which add some freshness.

If you want powerful riffs offered in a straightforward way to proudly bang your head you should check this out. Although at times the vocal performance doesn’t have as much force as the instrumentation, the album’s momentum is never lost. This has no fillers, and the release’s length is ideal for the style. My personal highlights are “Battering Ram” and “Ram You Down”.

I recommend this album to fans of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. My rating is of 9/10.
