RAMLEH - 'Switch Hitter / The Machines Of Infinite Joy' 10" (Black Rose Recordings / Broken Flag)
The first new material from the legendary Ramleh since 1998 and it doesn't disappoint. Powerful droning intensity, motorik rhythms and warped guitar riffs dominate these two songs with one containing Ramleh's distinctive distorted vocals weaving in and out of this inventive chemistry. "Switch Hitter" could almost be described as a full on dissonant rock track, but Ramleh's desire for experimentation and improvisation lifts it way above the general rock mindset. Ramleh have not lost any of their energy, excitement and ability to explore all possibilities. A very welcome return for Anthony Di Franco (Novatron, ex-Skullflower), Gary Mundy (Toll, ex-Skullflower). Presented in a j-card sleeve. Ltd x 500 copies. ACT FAST!
