Swedish heavy-metal act RAM have just recently shot a video for the song "I Am The End" from their latest release, Death. Metal Blade Records has partnered with Revolver Magazine to premiere the video in North America.

Oscar Carlquist comments on the video: "The 'I Am The End' video shows a completely different side of the cinematic vision of RAM than what we created in the 'Flame Of The Tyrants' video. This video displays a lot of esoteric aspects, and has many layers of symbolism that will not be seen at once. We thank everybody involved for their outstanding dedication to making flesh out of our disturbed visions."

Fans can order Death and watch the video for "Flames Of The Tyrants" at MetalBlade.com/RAM.

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, Chris Broderick and David Ellefson were joined by a host of famous friends this past Friday, July 12, when Gigantour rolled into Dallas, Texas.

The song, which was written by John Sykes and Phil Lynott, turned out to be a great choice for all the guitarists involved, giving each one some time to let loose.

Today, RevolverMag.com is premiering a new song from The Things They Carried called "More Than Love." The track is featured on the group's new EP, Jamais Vu, which is set for release tomorrow, July 16.

Regarding the meaning behind "More Than Love," vocalist-guitarist Steve Schwartz says "I wrote the song about an obsessive girl who leeches on to people and buys their love. The song talks about a specific relationship that I was aware of, and it made me sick to watch. The song then twists around and ends on a rather positive note, stating that there's someone out there for all of us, no matter who you are."

Formed in 2009, The Things They Carried quickly gained a following with EP Attention Crisis, followed by There's Something I Can't Tell Anyone in 2010. The group has toured with Otep, Alesana, Andrew W.K., Butcher Babies, Ice Nine Kills, and Blackguard.

The group will be performing at Dirtfest 2013 in Birch Run, Michigan, on August 10 alongside Asking Alexandria, Escape The Fate, RED and many others. Dates for a national tour are currently in the works, including select dates with American Head Charge. For more info, visit TheThingsTheyCarried.net.
