Ramming Speed were proud to premiere their new song “Don’t Let this Stay Here” via Metal Injection, but we’re bringing it to you here as well!

The Kurt Ballou (Converge)-produced track is featured as the A-side of a new 7″ available via Prosthetic Records. Its sister track, “Wraith,” is available on the same 7″ or can be snagged digitally from the band’s Bandcamp.

Here’s what the band have to say about the track:

‘Don’t Let This Stay Here’ is our reaction to the Edward Snowden leaks that confirmed the U.S. government’s saving of all our phone calls, text messages, emails and web searches in giant server farms. To us, that is fucking terrifying and unacceptable, and this is our rallying cry against it.
The citizens building the first top secret atomic bombs in Oak Ridge, Tennessee were told: ‘What you see here, what you do here, what you hear here, when you leave here, let it stay here.’ This song is for the NSA employees that question what they are doing. It’s for the American civilians feeling betrayed by the breaches of privacy, and it’s for the people at our shows singing along and sharing our frustration. Don’t Let This Stay Here. Spread the word.

The track’s quite the ripper, to boot, having elements of modern day melodic death metal and old school thrash. Heck, there’s even some tinges of power metal in there, but that just might be my ears playing tricks.
