RAM bassist leaves, finds replacement

RAM, the traditional Gothenburg, Sweden-based heavy metal band featuring Morgan Pettersson (ex- B-Thong), issued the following update today:

“[Bassist] Christian Strömblad has left RAM after a mutual decision with the band. We have parted as friends and RAM wish Christian the best of luck with his other band Nominon and all his future endeavors. Stepping in as the new permanent bass player is Tobias Pettersson from the underground black metal band Vornth. Tobias was Christian's stand-in on the recent European tour. RAM are very happy to welcome Tobias as the new heavy metal tyrant.”

RAM will support U.D.O. on the following dates:

Jan. 29 Gävle, SWE – Maxim
Jan. 30 Gothenburg, SWE – Trädgĺr'n

RAM's second album, Lightbringer, came out on June 19, 2009 via Germany's AFM Records. The CD was produced by Johan Reivén and was mixed at Studio Bongo in the group's hometown. The follow-up to 2005's Forced Entry was mastered at Studio Bohus Mastering by Dragan Tanaskovic.
