KNOWN AS THE BEST KEPT SECRET OF THE PORTUGUESE METALLIC SCENE, RAMP SET NEW STANDARDS FOR THE ENTIRE HEAVY MUSIC MOVEMENT IN THIS SMALL BUT EXCITING AND TALENTED COUNTRY. THE FIRST RIFF WAS BORN IN 1988 AND IT IS SINCE THAT LONG YEAR THAT THE VARIOUS MUSICAL AND ARTISTIC PATHS TAKEN BY RAMP HAVE REVEALED A MULTIFACETED BAND.

CONSTANTLY SEARCHING FOR MORE AND HIGHER QUALITY AS THE MAIN CONDITION OF LIVING, THEY HAVE MANAGED TO ACHIEVE A RECOGNIZED REPUTATION IN THE STUDIO AND ESPECIALLY LIVE, WHERE THEY SIGN DEMOLITORY PERFORMANCES! RAMP WERE THE FIRST METAL BAND TO REACH TOP SALES IN PORTUGAL WITH THEIR SECOND ALBUM – THOUSANDS OF COPIES WERE SOLD AT A TIME WHEN FEW BELIEVED THAT A HEAVY METAL BAND COULD DO SO.

IN THE CELEBRATION OF 25 YEARS OF CAREER, AND USING THE WORDS OF VOCALIST RUI DUARTE, A “… RECAPITULATION OF THE EXPERIENCE AND MOMENTS…” OF RAMP IS REQUIRED. XXV 1988-2013 IS THAT AND MUCH MORE: A DOUBLE CD THAT TAKES US ON A JOURNEY THROUGH RAMP’S CAREER IN 33 CHAPTERS. IN 2022, AFTER TWO YEARS OF PANDEMIC AND MORE LINE-UP CHANGES, THEY WILL LAUNCH THEIR LATEST SOUND ATTACK, “INSIDIOUSLY”, BECOMING A PROOF OF LIFE AND EXPERIENCES IN WHOSE DESIGN PROCESS WAS CONSIDERED BY THEMSELVES TO HAVE BEEN THE MOST VIOLENT SO FAR IN THE BAND'S HISTORY. WITH 9 RECORDS EDITED, RAMP PROVE TO BE A FORCE OF NATURE, WHICH KEEP THEM AS ONE OF THE REFERENCE BANDS OF HEAVY MUSIC MADE IN PORTUGAL.
