Ramming Speed threw a wild house party in Boston and then taped the darn thing for this music video.
The band also just announced they will be heading into the studio next month to begin recording a new album with the legendary Kurt Ballou at Godcity Studios.
As for this video, drummer Jonah Livingston tells us a bit about the making of it:
"The lyrics to “Anthems of Despair (Summer Jam)” are about the struggle of pushing a band forward and the toll it takes. The endless cold hungry nights on the road, the financial punishment, the strain on personal lives, and about how if you love what you’re doing you charge forward anyway. This is an anthem for those who refuse to give up, for those still hungry for more.
For this music video it made the most sense to head back up to Boston from our current home in Richmond, VA to throw a wild house party. We wanted to show the best part about being in a band; the friendship and energy that come with playing in a tiny, sweaty ass room with no stage. As we get older many have come and gone, so this video is a snapshot at some of our friends new and old that are keeping shit wild and awesome in the Boston DIY scene in 2014.
With the release of a video from our last record we are also finally ready to announce information about our next record – We’ll be heading back to God City with Kurt Ballou right before Christmas to record our third LP (second for Prosthetic). This will be by far our most metal record to date. We’ve been listening to an absurd amount of Judas Priest, and while everything is still wrapped around dbeat, thrash and grind, there’s even more of an emphasis on ferociously catchy guitars wildness then ever before.
