Guitarist and founder Henning ‘Zet’ Ramseth comments on the new single: “Cranium is probably one of the most fun songs I have ever made to this band, and it all came out from an idea about this pretty heavy-groovy chorus, which I built the whole song around. Suddenly the country/folk intro came out from nothing, and then we had it going – going from country into a little blast part, seemed like a fun idea, and then we worked with Sfinx amazing vocals to complete it!“
Vocalist Sfinx adds about the lyrical concept: “We all wear a mask. Behind it lies everything we don’t want the world to see. On the outside, we only show the good, sweet and innocent. Beneath the mask lurks the monster. Humbled.“

“Sapien” marks RAM-ZET’s first full-length album since ‘Freaks in Wonderland’ (2012), ending a silence that lasted more than a decade. While the band never officially disbanded, activity slowed considerably as members pursued other creative paths. The turning point came in 2023, when Ramseth felt the time was right to fully resurrect the project. What followed was an intensive two-year period of writing, rehearsing, and recording, culminating in a celebrated return to the live stage in the summer of 2024.
The current line-up reflects both continuity and renewal. Longtime keyboardist Karoline “Ka” Amb stepped away as band activity increased, making room for Kai “Aazuu” Renton (Trollfest) on keyboards. At the same time, violinist Ingvild “Sareeta” Johannesen has returned after an extended break, once again adding her unmistakable signature to the band’s sound.
With “Sapien”, RAM-ZET deliver their trademark fusion of intensity, complexity, and atmosphere, infused with renewed focus, energy, and vision. The band’s next chapter begins now.
The album will be released as double vinyl, CD, and digital. Pre-orders are available at THIS LOCATION
