Rampant – Angel of Dreams (Beyond The Stars)
Original N.W.O.B.H.M. band Rampant, reformed in
2019, is back in action, after a long absence, with a new single called Angel
of Dreams (Beyond The Stars).
The line-up that recorded the single consists
of: Sam Henstock and Jamie Carter on guitars, Micky Dietz on drums, Jimi King
on bass, and enthusiastic original member, "Tee Rets" on lead vocals
and keyboards.
I have been given a promo of Rampant's charity
single Angel of Dreams (Beyond The Stars). It’s a tribute to little Molly (daughter
of Brian Mear), and became the anthem of Mearfest Festival, and it’s a
brilliant power ballad. The sound takes you to the spirit of the 70's with some
great guitar melodies and awesome vocals. Most of the words on this song are
from 2 of Brian Mear's poems
Note that this song includes a children's
choir, since children have great significance for this song.
I've also heard pre-release versions of another
two tracks from their forthcoming as yet untitled album that is held up in its
recording due to Covid-19: “All the World's a Cage” and “Phantom Riders”.
All the World's a Cage, has very catchy guitar
melodies, with a very interesting folk sound that will get you hooked.
Phantom Riders is a new song by the new
line-up of the band, it mixes more recent influences with heavy doom riffs and
a slight progmetal leaning, powerful drumming, and a great solo. Tee Rets voice
sound more aggressive on this one, but also on a higher level, he plays a
keyboard solo in this song.
Overall the band sounds very cohesive, with an
irreproachable rhythmic section formed by Micky Dietz on drums and Jimi King on
bass. Great guitar lines by Sam Henstock and Jamie Carter and “Tee Rets” giving
his heart and soul to his great vocals.
Also in the spotlight is Gina Northernbat Lewis
guesting on harmony vocals on Angel Of Dreams (Beyond The Stars) and as the
witches on Phantom Riders.
The revamped Rampant is here to stay spreading
the true heavy metal word, fronted by lead singer Tee Rets, a true metal
legend.
The band is currently speaking to various
labels with a view towards the release of its forthcoming album.
For fans of good traditional Heavy Metal.
