An absolute masterclass in venomous, ripping metal / thrash, the second Kurt Ballou produced rager from Boston by way of NYC's RAMMING SPEED Packed to the brim with galvanizing riffs, breakneck solos and thunderous blastbeats comes "No Epitaphs," the eagerly anticipated new release from Richmond-based rebels RAMMING SPEED! 

 

Just like their critically acclaimed 2013 effort "Doomed to Destroy, Destined to Die" -- which Ghost Cult Magazine called a mixture of the party mentality of Andrew W.K. and the sickness of Slayer -- the band recorded the album in Salem, Mass. with famed producer and Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou (Skeletonwitch, Kvelertak). According to the band, "No Epitaphs" is RAMMING SPEED's "most metal record to date by far. Everything is still wrapped around d-beat, thrash and grind, but there's even more of an emphasis on ferociously catchy guitar wildness than ever before." RAMMING SPEED have spent the past two years vigorously touring across the United States and Canada with acts including Toxic Holocaust, Valient Thorr, 3 Inches of Blood, Revocation and Goatwhore in addition to appearances at the annual CMJ Festival in Brooklyn and Gainesville, Florida's FEST. The group will embark on an extensive European tour this summer which will include appearances with The Black Dahlia Murder, DRI and Toxic Holocaust, as well as several festival dates (Motocultor Festival, Brutal Assault, Leperfest, etc.). Keeping busy while off the road, the band recently teamed up with Charlottesville, VA's Champion Brewing Company to launch their very own brew, the "Black Leather IPA," which is currently available in limited quantity at local bars including the infamous GWAR Bar.
